WQAM Eliminates Midday Show

     Miami Sports Radio 560 WQAM-AM has stopped their midday show co-hosted by Alex Donno and Josh Friedman. No word who will replace the program, however the CBS Sports Radio Network was piped into the spot on Friday.
     Donno will continue as the University of Miami Hurricanes Radio Network as their studio host and co-host Fight Night with Frank Zaffare. Friedman was let go by the station due to cost cutting.
     The Donno and Friedo Show was implemented by the station back in December 2018. It combined both evening hosts from their sister stations WQAM and Sports Talk 790 The Ticket WAXY-AM.
     Donno, a 2007 University of Miami grad, began his professional broadcast career with 790 The Ticket as an intern, producer and reporter. He was later elevated to MMA weekend host and afternoon sports anchor.
     He left for WQAM in July 2012 and became a Saturday morning MMA host and midday sports anchor. After a seven-month tenure as a midday co-host with Brandon Guzio, he was moved to host evenings August 2014 and held that post until December 2018. Donno was named the Florida Panthers Radio Network studio host prior to the 2014-15 season and stayed there until this past December. Donno became the Miami Hurricanes Radio Network studio host in 2017.
     Friedman, an Indiana University grad, finished off his second reign at WQAM. He worked at a Chicago sports radio station prior to his arrival in Miami. Friedman joined WQAM as a producer and became the Florida Marlins reporter for the organization in 1998. He left them in May 2003 and worked for Metro Networks for the next two years as their Miami sports reporter.
     He landed at 790 The Ticket in December 2005 and reported on the Florida Marlins, Miami Dolphins and Miami Heat. He later was elevated to weekend host. Friedman became the evening host on that station in April 2014 and was there until December 2018.
