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.
