Tim Doctor started his new radio show this morning on Citadel Broadcasting’s WJRW (AM 1340) in Grand Rapids. Doctor’s show airs weekdays from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Tim Doctor, with co-host and WJRW-AM 1340 Program Director Josh Leng, will host a new locally focused news talk show on the Citadel-owned station during the old “Tony Gates Show” time slot.
Gates, whose afternoon show ran noon to 2 p.m., now airs from 9 to 11 a.m. beginning today. Co-host Dave Jaconette and producer Jeff Merrill will remain with the show.
Leng said the move was prompted by listeners desiring more live and local programming during the late morning hours.
“The Tony Gates Show” on WJRW (AM 1340) in Grand Rapids will move to the 9 to 11 a.m. time slot on Monday. A new show will takeover Gates’ former air shift from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.
