Doc Thompson Lands On His Feet

[TANKSBACK]

Former WLW host Doc Thompson is now with WXYT in Detroit, a CBS station.  Is CBS a better company than Clear Channel?  Having worked for both I'd say HELL YES!  Is Detroit a better city than Cincinnati?  Never lived in Detroit but I doubt it's better than the Queen City.  If you're interested in contributing to the "Doc Thompson Defense Fund" to help him buy a gun to keep him safe in his new locale....oh nevermind...  Good luck Doc!

WXYT also is a sports station. Interesting. I know not everyone here liked Doc, but good for him. No one deserves what happened to him, especially when it did.

WXYT FM 97.1 is sports. Doc will be on 1270 WXYT AM which is talk.

Doc's former boss at WRVA, Jimmy Barrett, was with WXYT before going to WRVA. Methinks somebody made a few calls...

One area where Detroit beats Cincinnati by a landslide is FOOD. People in metro Detroit actually season food with something other than salt & pepper, and don't consider crappy chains like "Applebee's" and "Perkins" to be "good restaurants" ... at least Doc will get his taste buds back. 

Doc will have uphill battle. Detroit is a place that's hard to understand unless you're a native.

So is Cincinnati. It's one of the most provincial cities around.
Thanks for the clarification earlier. I was unaware 1270 had dropped sports; I haven't been to Detroit in some time.

Maybe, but they don't have Skyline! 

Weirdly, the only thing I miss about Cincinnati when I'm away for a while is the food. I'd be at school in NE Ohio, craving a coney or some Graeter's, and none of my friends knew what I was talking about.

I'll enjoy listening to Doc, up here.
He certainly landed UP on his feet.

The question is, what does his wife do? Can she get a gig up here in the D?

The article I saw said he was going to commute between Dayton and Detroit (a route I know too well)  It's about 3 1/2 hours (without Weather or Construction)

She's a reporter with WHIO-TV in Dayton.

I knew that. I am just wondering if she'll apply for a job, here, in Detroit.
