“I hate ’em. I hate Cumulus a lot,” former FM105 “The Ticket” afternoon show host Mike Morris told me.
Morris and Bob Sansevere, the presumably big-ticket items at “The Ticket,” recently got dumped by Cumulus Media in a weekday purge of local programming.
Morris did not even sound angry. A former long snapper for the Vikings and a former KFAN show host, Morris sounded the way he always does — like a man without a worry.
While local programming is off the weekday schedule, I still heard the “Cold Omaha” guys one recent Saturday.
“Great guys. I hope they do well. I hope everything works well for those guys, I really do. But certainly, I’m glad to be out of there. It was a garbage dumpster to work for,” said Morris. He said he has a meeting this week with Hubbard Broadcasting.
