Metaphorically speaking, the WCKG radio personality known as Rover was more of the latter as of late.
After spending most of his last show blaming station management and a lack of promotion for his lack of success, WCKG sat the Chicago audience down and told them that their dog Rover was being sent to a farm in the country where he can play with lots of other dogs.
WCKG’s general manager is now bringing in Opie and Anthony to fill the daypart and notes the team brings a “full arsenal of weapons to the Chicago morning battlefield.” Apparently, said weapons are so highbrow that they require the listener to be quite culturally astute.
