Paul W. Smith shifts to new time slot in WJR lineup shakeup.
TL;DR Summary
WJR 760 AM, owned by Cumulus Media, is moving to an all-local daily lineup featuring local anchors starting June 20. As part of the change, WJR morning staple Paul W. Smith is moving to the noon-2 p.m. slot, where he will host "Focus." Smith, 70, will take over the noon time slot from the syndicated "Dan Bongino Show," which replaced Rush Limbaugh's show after the talk-radio host died in 2021. The move will end Smith's 27-year run hosting WJR's morning program, which he took over from Detroit radio legend J.P. McCarthy.
