Listeners to 93.9 The Ville in Louisville didn’t hear Howie Lindsey‘s voice this morning when they tuned in for his midday program. The talk show host shared on Twitter that he’d be off the air for the next two days.
But there’s a little more to the story than Lindsey can offer at the moment.
790 KRD in Louisville has finalized their search for a morning host and they’ve identified Lindsey as their guy! The station plans to drop Fox Sports Daybreak and offer local programming in mornings.
Lindsey has hosted middays on 93.9 The Ville since August, in addition to covering the Cardinals for the Louisville Sports Report, an extension of the Rivals brand. With the radio station looking to expand its local footprint and offer a heavier Cardinal presentation due to its affiliation with the school, his skillset seems to be exactly what the doctor ordered.
His start date on the station is unclear at this time.
