Dave Ramsey, the Nashville-based syndicated radio show host, and 102.5 The Game have decided to pull the plug on their 1-year-old relationship.
As today's news release puts it, both the financial advice guru and the sports talk station "were taking a risk" when "The Dave Ramsey Show" joined the station's program lineup in January. The decision to part ways in early 2014 is a mutual once, according to the release.
"We have been friends for more than 20 years, and while we enjoyed this partnership from a personal standpoint, we both realize that from a business perspective our brands would be better served if we return to our respective formats," said Bayard Walters, president and owner of Cromwell Radio Group.
RAMSEY aired on CUMULUS Talk WWTN in the market until one year ago. The split with CROMWELL is said to be amicable, and the show worked with CROMWELL President BAYARD WALTERS to close out the relationship and enable the show to move to WLAC.
