Finster fired from WKLT/Traverse City

BECOME AN AFFILIATE OF T-SHIRT HELL AND MAKE SOME MONEY! 12.30.11 FINSTER FIRED Popular WKLT morning man let go; no reason given On Wednesday afternoon, "Finster", the other half of WKLT 97.5/98.9 Traverse City's morning show, was fired. No reason was given for his dismissal, but understanding KLT's long and storied history, budgetary concerns might have played a role. Finster's partner, "Omelette", is still on board; the show is now called "Omelette and Friends". What might be tragic in all this is the fact that Omelette and Finster's ratings have been pretty good; I heard that they're in first place in the morning ratings, even beating out The Bear's syndied stalwarts Bob and Tom. But then again, this is KLT we're talking about. Tim Murphy had ratings and was shown the door. Same situation with the late Jim Ellis. They've forever treated their jocks - with the possible exception of Terri Ray - like underwear. Yet, they're always near the top of the ratings, no matter what they do. True, I wasn't much of an O&F fan. They were Stern clones by having their own Wack Pack called "The Misfits" and even donating to a no-kill animal shelter ala North Shore Animal League. But still, Finster's a human and has a family to feed. All I can say is that I hope Finster can land on his feet. Once again, Northern Broadcast, a company known for one abortion after the other, has its head up its ass.
