Wanted: Morning DJ

by Bill Frost

Posted // 2009-06-29 -

A little over a year after KRCL 90.9 FM's controversial switch from a stylistic weekday potpourri of volunteer DJs to a stable roster of paid talent, one has apparently had all the radio he needs: David Perschon, who helmed mornings 6-10 am, has left the station; Ebay Jamil Hamilton (middays 10 am-2 pm) and Bad Brad Wheeler (afternoons 2-6 pm) remain.

A circulating KRCL memo says an interim host will take over mornings indefinitely, and a job posting has been made. So, if you're in tune with the station's public-radio mission and music (and presumably have no issue with KRCL's bizarre T.Rex obsession of late), you could be Salt Lake's next new morning DJ.

Currently 3.5/5 Stars.

KRCL is frustrating. It should be a better music station than it is.

BTW...David didn't leave the station, he was fired.

They are not looking for a new morning DJ...one who has music knowledge and talent. They are looking for a morning ANNOUNCER...someone who will sit there and read the names of the songs that a computer has programed. What a shame.

David was fired because he wouldn't automate his show. Meaning he wouldn't just simply announce the songs that are regurgiated from a pre chosen (by whom I don't know) playlist. All of what we were told last year about local programming, etc. was a lie. Let the Donna Land inspired KRCL death rattle begin

That Dave guy was the most BORING, tiresome "dj" I ever heard. Good riddance!
