Word on the street is that Lesley Groetsch, half of the Blake & Lesley Show with Blake Butler, also known as Local Edge Radio at 880 AM, is planning to leave the show in a couple of weeks. I haven’t confirmed this with Groetsch, but that’s what I’m hearing. 

Groetsch and Butler brought local liberal talk radio to the scene under the Clear Channel Radio about three years ago, if I’m remembering correctly. The show has featured news about local politics and charitable events, the music of local bands and discussions about the hot political topics of the day. 

That’s all I’ve got right now. More as it comes in.
