KRNT Reuniting Marty & Miller

[DSMCy]

Chris Williams & Ross Peterson - New 1460 Drive Time Duo!!

Per Steve Deace on Twitter, KRNT is moving to ESPN and will be bringing back Marty and Miller.

Interesting since Ken just started with Heather this week.

@SteveDeaceShow: Big time coup for Des Moines Radio Group landing Marty & Miller. The Rose Bowl of all Des Moines sports talk radio shows.

@SteveDeaceShow: I guess I didn't realize I was breaking news, but KRNT in Des Moines is going ESPN radio and reuniting Marty & Miller in the afternoons.

Its Happening!!!!!!!!1

I hadn't heard of KRNT before.

Lot of uproar on Twitter about this and Heather's status and such. What's going on for those of us not in the DSM area? Who do we like/don't like here?

 

[mj4cy]

So Heather and Ken lasted two days?


I actually enjoyed them so far. Oh well....say what you want about Marty, but he makes for listening radio.

Station format switch makes sense. Home of the Cubs.

Miller leaving after just matching up with Heather is curious.

IIRC, at it's inception, it was owned by the Register and Tribune, hence the KRNT.

Lol...oh Steve.

Marty's coming back which means... His Dentist is coming back!!!!!

AND Jay Norvell is available?!??!?!

Stars are aligning here folks...

Man, KXNO really can't catch a break can they?

 

[HandSanitizer]

I am really confused. Didn't even know about 1350 for one.
They are moving to ESPN because 1700 moved to CBS?

Sports radio in Des Moines is like the young and the restless.

Feel bad for Heather if true as she had a gig in place and she has been kind of tossed around the past couple years.

KXNO brings a lot of it upon themselves though. See "The Morning Rush."

 

[Incyte]

What was ESPN radio? That quirky one Marty was on?

 

[Gunnerclone]

It's make or break time for them, they better hit a home run for drive time or it could get uglier than it already is and they don't have any "rearranging" options at this point.

I didn't even know ESPN radio was in Des Moines.

Yea, but even TNT/Morning Rush only happened because Miller and Deace somewhat suddenly decided they didn't want to do their show anymore.

 

[DSMCy]

Also tweeted by Deace: Wouldn't radio guys like this have to sign a non-compete? I can't believe it would be that easy to jump stations.

Unless KXNO worked something out with Ken when Jim left.

Yea, seems crazy that KXNO doesn't have Ken more locked up when he's been the one good constant they've had for so long.

Fair enough. Mainly I guess if you continually hire bums this is what happens.

Any one want to lay odds that the "Cot Man" becomes the new drive time host?

How long before Deace and Miiler are back?
