DETROIT — WRIF Detroit’s morning team of Jim Johnson and George Baier cropped up on cross-town competitor WLLZ last Monday, October 21. The morning duo’s contract with WRIF expired September 30, with a 75-day “right-to-match” clause, contractually stipulated, that would extend through mid-December. Predictably, WRIF’s program director Michael Mayer is not pleased. He would not comment whether WRIF plans to take any legal steps in getting the pair to honor the 75-day clause, but said, “We are surprised that Jim and George would turn their backs on their friends and listeners at WRIF by not allowing us our right to match,” Mayer said. END.

Hello to all,
My God….Living an hour away from Moter City and all the GREATS…. that included ‘RIF, WZZLS, W-4 and all….can anyone wish and hope that the people get together and do a special sort of reunion or something? Bruiser and the Mayor could do a short skit about urban development, Al and George talk spring training in Lakeland. J.J. Will intro/MC as he did so well. Everything can be done in all hopes.
Ken Calvert help, please.
Love,
Al & Sid (Let’s hit a Home Run and put A Puck in the Net!)
