DC Radio: Report..WRQX To Drop The Bert Show

Bert Weiss appears to be out at WRQX 107.5 FM Hits.

DCRTV is reporting the Bert Weiss morning show will be gone from Cumulus's All The Hits 107.3, WRQX, after this Friday.

PM Drive personality Marco reportedly will be moved into mornings on an "interim" basis with a "music-intensive" show.

A search is underway for Weiss's replacement, but he stresses that the new show will be "locally-based" and not piped-in from elsewhere, like Weiss's show.

Weiss got added to WRQX just about a year ago, following the firing of longtime morning man Jack Diamond. Since then, Weiss, who was once part of Diamond's show crew, has failed to generate any ratings traction in the Washington market. Weiss's show often fails to crack the top 20 ratings in mornings, while Diamond's was a solid top 10 performer.
