Longtime SuperTalk 99.7 WTN host Michael DelGiorno has departed the Nashville news/talk station.
A Cumulus Media spokesperson confirmed to Barrett News Media that DelGiorno is “no longer with the station”.
It appears as if DelGiorno’s final show with the station was Friday, March 17th. J.D. Hayworth hosted the program on Monday and Tuesday last week, with Pamela Furr handling hosting duties for the 9:00 AM-12:00 PM shift for the remainder of the week and the first two days of this week.
DelGiorno’s profile has been removed from the station’s website. He was also listed as one of the featured guests for “An Evening With Supertalk 99.7 WTN”, a live event with several of the station’s personalities, on Thursday, March 30th in Murfreesboro, Tennessee as recently as last Thursday. However, he has been replaced on the event’s listing by Furr.
The station posted a job listing for an on-air full-time host on the station yesterday.
DelGiorno joined the station in 2007 after a long tenure in the Tulsa market at KFAQ, KRMG, and KTBZ.
Barrett News Media asked DelGiorno and SuperTalk 99.7 WTN Program Director and morning host Dan Mandis for comment, but as of publication, neither had responded.
Was he fired or did he jump ship to go work else where? Some of daily listeners are wondering.
I will no longer listen. Dan is so cheesy and the rest of the talent isn’t very good. Pamala should be ashamed to do that to
Someone she called a friend!
I don’t think she did anything to backstab Michael she’s just filling in the space till they can get a new person to take over, but I only still listened to the station because of him. Don’t need to stick around since I no longer live in middle Tennessee
Pamela didn’t do anything to Michael. She just substituted in his time spot several days.
For a station that reports the news and talks about others situations and mishaps and prides themselves on truth and trust I believe they owe their listeners an explanation.
You are absolutely correct … I had to go looking to find out why Pamela was filling in so much! Any news on where he is now?
Obviously, he was fired, Michael or the station would have said something already, Dan is such a rino and gets his feeling hurt easily. I’ve stop listening to 99.7 since. Hopefully Michael will find another show.
Please bring Michael back. I love his honesty and comedy. You can’t replace him or Phil Valentine, we miss you Phil
Glad Delgiorno is gone….
sometimes he was really good….but wasn’t good enough.
Brian Wilson is the best. If, you were to have nat’l radio people on…I would vote for Chris Plante out of Washington DC.
Dan Mandis CAN be very good. When I heard him fill in for Red Eye guys, he was very good. i don’t enjoy the comradery of the group in the am.
agreed !
What a bunch of losers
It would be nice for loyal listeners to receive SOME kind of explanation as to why a main radio personality just vanishes! We listen daily and as your “customers” we would like to know what’s going on.
Michael was the only reason I listened to talk radio. Bad call on whoever let him go!
Just like politics Democrats can say do anything. But these radio guys are have to watch every word. He will be missed. I do not care for Dan style. Love Bruan. At work during Matt most of time. DO NOT care for Miss Furr. Would love Chris Plant.
Delgiorno Seemed over it. Honestly the boomer humor was pretty cringe. Hopefully they replace him with someone younger who will FIRE IT UP and turn it yo 11 in the morning.
Delgiorno’s show got progressively worse over the years. He never took calls. He talked about his life too much. I don’t want to hear about his mom, his wife, his kids or some other aspect of his life. Let me be clear: I appreciated it when he talked about his faith. That never bothered me. What bothered me was after the first hour Delgiorno just flew around in circles and never failed to conclude that everything about was the social dilemma, the matrix, and then insert some random shilling for his pastor.
He shit the bed and is gone and hopefully the station will get a host who will take calls and talk about issues that are meaningful for the listeners.
