Does anyone know what happened to Steve Courtney on WJR? He's no longer on in the mornings for sports and haven't heard why. Apologies if this has been discussed before.

Does anyone know what happened to Steve Courtney on WJR? He's no longer on in the mornings for sports and haven't heard why. Apologies if this has been discussed before.
His FB, Twitter and the WJR website say he works there; maybe he's on vacay? Says he's sports director, so he's there somewhere
I saw somewhere that JP McCarthy was going to come out of retirement to replace him.

If JP does, bring back the Bob-Lo boat race between U of M and Notre Dame too!
Speaking of JP...Quote:

Thank you, townonenorth. I look forward to watching this video. Loved J.P. He reminds me of the days when Detroit was able to attract the high level talent of a top-10 radio and television market.Quote:

I used to love his 8:30 am chats with Billy Martin every weekday. Billy even came on the morning after getting fired. That showed how much respect he had for J.P.Quote:
