On Friday they fired Kim Zachery. They replaced her this week with Chaz and AJ. So now we have 99.1 WPLR and 102.9 With the same shows and DJ's.
The following message was posted to the Bring Back the Big D group yesterday by Kims Husband, and what he posts makes me sick...

Do you need yet another reason to dislike Connoisseur Radio? Here's my story, and it really has nothing to do with how Connoisseur runs their radio stations, but rather speaks to the very fiber of their being.
Some of you may know that Kim Zachary is my wife. You may also know that Kim and I did a very successful morning show in Spfld. for 17 years.
What you might not know is I have cancer. Not the stage 4, I'm on deaths door cancer, but serious enough cancer. In January, I underwent a major operation that successfully removed my cancer. However, my cancer likes to come back. So every three months I need to visit my doc for an exam.
During my last exam it was determined I needed a "procedure". The "procedure" is scheduled at Brigham and Women's hospital for later this month.
Thank God for health insurance, or so you would think. You see, Connoisseur terminated Kim on August 29th, knowing very well that our health coverage would end August 31st. Kim's boss, Keith Dakin, the guy that fired her, knew I had cancer because he just recently gave Kim time off to bring me for testing. Had they waited until September 1st to terminate her, we would have kept coverage for the entire month. Instead, we are scrambling for coverage hoping not to postpone surgery.
What kind of people run Connoisseur Radio? Now we know, don't we.
