The Hardline saga continues


The latest missive from Richie Whitt at Unfair Park brings us the news that Greg "The Hammer" Williams is likely done at The Ticket. According to Richie, a post-Thanksgiving meeting between Williams and unnamed "co-workers" went very badly indeed, and it appears the lawyers have become involved.

The sad story seems destined to drag out into the New Year, and sad is the only way to describe it. Williams has long been a fan favorite, and appeared, at one time, to be the most down-to-earth and genuine of the Ticket on-air staff. As has been mentioned here, his performance in recent months had degraded noticeably, and it appears that he's completely burned bridges with both his on-air brethren and management.

I remain a loyal Ticket listener, and fan of the afternoon drive program, whatever it will be called in the future. Corby Davidson, Danny Balis, and the occasional drive-by fill-in are all more engaged and engaging than Williams had been recently, and the show is still funny. I'll continue to be by the channel, but wish Williams well in his future endeavors.
