TMJ's New Talent

It was announced today that Jessica McBride will be joining the staff of 620 WTMJ on a part-time basis. We at Ask Me Later send our congratulations. Filling the spot that was left by the cancellation of the Mark Reardon show, McBride will air weeknights from 8-11 pm, when she’s not interrupted by sports, that is. The first show is said to be February 13.

My response: I’m happy to see that a female host will now have a place on 620. Way to go, sistah! Aside from that, I think it’s obvious that McBride is a perfect fit for the station.

Just out of curiosity, I wonder: What’s the over/under on how long it will take for the leftist conspiracy theories to start flying? Never mind that McBride holds a Master’s Degree, is an accomplished columnist, teacher, blogger and talk show host, having spent some time at WISN. I’m sure that in spite of these facts the lefties are going to go berserk. And you know what? Let ‘em. At the end of the day, it’s still going to be McBride on the airwaves.
