Just got a tip that that producer Jeremy Kienitz and morning-show personality Willie Clark are out at KSTP radio. I know, not Mischke-size news, but it is another sign that KSTP-AM is going to have some radical changes.

And that may not be the biggest radio news of the day. I’m hearing word that something even bigger is going down on another part of the dial. I’m looking into it and will share some info when I’ve done some more reporting….

UPDATE: The other shakeup is at WCCO - and while it’s not monumental, it is possibly telling. John Wanamaker and Cory Kampschroer from the news department were laid off on Wednesday. The two had the least amount of seniority, so they were the most vulnerable, but just how many people are left in ‘CCO news department? Seems to be like about half a dozen (still waiting to hear back from management). Is it even worth continuing if you don’t have the resources to do it properly? I chatted with Wanamaker a little while ago. His comments will be up and running over at startribune.com shortly. Hope to hear from the new boss over there, Mick Anselmo, before the afternoon is up.
