PITTSBURGH, PA — Shifting times in Pittsburgh radio continue as significant changes have been made at one of the city's most popular stations.
Mike Frazer, a staple at 94.5 3WS for nearly 40 years, no longer is handling afternoon duties at the classic hits station and apparently no longer is affiliated with it.
Morning show co-host Val Porter has assumed the 2 p.m.-7 p.m. shift. Porter announced the move in a social media video post.
