After nearly eleven years hosting late mornings at Salem Conservative Talk “1420 The Answer” WHK/102.9 W275DF Cleveland, Bob Frantz exited in a budget cut following his show on Monday.
Frantz joined WHK in January 2015 after previously serving as night host at iHeartMedia’s 1100 WTAM. For awhile during his run at WHK, he pulled double-duty also hosting afternoons at Cumulus Sports “106.5 The Ticket” WLQR Toledo as he hosted mornings at Talk 1370 WSPD Toledo prior to moving to Cleveland.
Frantz will continue to serve as a guest host for Salem’s nationally syndicated shows including hosting for morning host Chris Stigall this morning.
He wrote, “Since I understand the nature of online chatter and the breakneck speed of the rumor mill, let me go ahead and confirm it: I hosted my last Cleveland show for WHK today. I was informed after the show that corporate budget cuts necessitated the use of syndicated programming. At least that’s what I was TOLD. The decision was not performance related, and in fact, the company has asked me to continue to guest-host their national programming, which I will do, including Tuesday morning at 6 AM. As for the local show, however, it is now officially over. I intend to start a new live stream program, probably hosted on Rumble, in the very near future. It will be a daily 1-2 hour show, and will feature the same great guests and commentary that we have provided on WHK for the last 11 years.”
Frantz was the only local host on WHK. He is succeeded in the 9am-12pm timeslot by the Mike Gallagher Show.
