Jim Johnson and Lynne Woodison tapped to fill in for a week of morning drive on WOMC
When Jim Johnson and Lynne Woodison were fired from classic rock WCSX FM 94.7 last year, they were taken off the air without being able to host a farewell program for their fans. Now they'll get that chance and more as the duo sits in for the vacationing Dick Purtan and Purtan's People on classic hits WOMC FM 104.3 next week (June 29 - July 1, and possibly July 2-3).
It's a unique scenario - having an (available) established morning program fill in for what's essentially your franchise. Radio executives generally aren't known for doing 'nice things' without there being some kind of other motivation behind it.
