Dr. Mike Out, Stephanie Miller In

Apparently the Drobnys wanted him in PMD to make room for Stephanie Miller, and he didn't go for it. KPHX listeners are complaining because of the time/effort/cash he/they put in the bring the station back.
Newcomb goes from flagship unit and president of the fledgling network, to being out on the pavement. These are preliminary reports, so obviously I do not know whether the parting is as detailed above or is a mutual separation on kind terms so Newcomb can go off and pursue some another passion.
If it's as described on the Radio-Info forum, then this a terrible move by Sheldon Drobny. After collecting $100 "Founder's Club" subscriptions, he simply discards the most popular on-air talent asset Nova M employs, ensuring a dissatisfied set of listeners, who no doubt, will be promptly asking for refunds.
Drobny was one of the founders of Air America, and now it appears he's destined to have a lead role in the disintegration of another liberal/progressive talk radio network. Perhaps there is some sinister conspiracy at work here…
Haven't seen any "official reports" declaring this, either on Nova M web site, Mike's site or Mike's forums.

Is he on any other network?
Right you are. Her show seems to be aimed at the 13-16 year old crowd. Maybe that is where the money is.
I can't even listen to her.
I am hopeful you got my three christmas presents two weeks ago. I dropped them off at 834 e washington, phx. az. Steph might have to put on a few pounds to have the amercan flag drawers fit well; however I am sure the mooks will enjoy the GE weapons semi-trailer and the tiny timex train.
I really missed you over the holidays but some of the reruns and substitute hosts were quite worthy.
Now that you are back, I wake up a 7 sharp so as to avoid my depression meds.
I especially like the mook's work on Tom Cruise. Trust me, the 13-16 year olds won't know what a thetan is and I'm glad I'm not a thetan. A hub cap-sized award metal...you guys are a gas.
Sincerely, Dr. Franco Paco Francisco
