Sports Radio 560 WQAM-AM announced that they have let go Adam Kuperstein and Channing Crowder. Both co-hosted the early afternoon show from October 2012 to September 2013 and also from January 2014 until July 2015.
WQAM program director Ryan Maguire, who joined the organization in early May, decided to have all of their weekday programs run for four hours each. Joe Rose with Curtis Stevenson will stay in the same time slot from 6am to 10am. Orlando Alzugaray will have his midday show expanded one hour from 10am to 2pm. The afternoon show with Marc Hochman and Zach Krantz will move up one hour earlier from 2pm to 6pm while Alex Donno expands his evening program one additional hour from 6pm to 10pm.
Kuperstein was a weekend host at WQAM until December 2011 then was promoted to co-host an early afternoon program. He had several partners on the air with him which included Steve Goldstein from January 2012 to October 2012, two stints with Crowder and co-hosted with Curtis Stevenson from September 2013 to December 2013. Kuperstein will still keep busy as a sports anchor at WTVJ-
TV Channel 6 in Miami and a Sunday late morning co-host on NBC Sports Radio Network. He has been employed at WTVJ-TV since July 2005 and at NBC Sports Radio Network since April 2013.
Crowder joined WQAM as a fill-in host and Miami Dolphins expert in August 2011 after he retired from the Miami Dolphins. He played for the club as a linebacker for six seasons from 2005 to 2010. He replaced Steve Goldstein as the early afternoon co-host with Kuperstein in October 2012. Along with his two stints with Kuperstein in early afternoons, he was elevated to the afternoon shift and worked with Brandon Guzio from September 2013 until December 2013. It was short lived as he returned to the early afternoon shift for the rest of his tenure at WQAM.

And except for Chowder and Kuperstein and their families, who cares?
ReplyDeleteNo warning, no surprise. WQAM has lacked direction for years. Rotations/hosts constantly change without notice or explanation.
