WBT news maven Pete Kaliner will slide into the 9pm-12am slot the station has announced. Good for him — and good for Charlotte. Like I’ve said, we need all the local talk radio we can get and Pete is surely one of the most informed folks in town.

Still, it is sad that Danny Fontana’s 1220AM is back to all out-of-town syndicated programming as his station has been unable to build a following amid local advertisers, especially in the current environment.
