106.7 The Fan is coming and some WJFK radio personalities are weighing in with their opinions online through social media.

The most telling of these posts came from Chad Dukes earlier today via his Twitter account.

He posted the picture to the right, which was part of the roll-out for advertisers earlier today at the Verizon Center.  The banner outlines the expected schedule and if you can't read it clearly, here is what it says:

 5-10AM The Sports Junkies

10AM - 2PM The Mike Wise Show

2-6PM The Lavar Arrington Show with Chad Dukes

Just to fill everyone in, Mike Wise is a sports columnist with the Washington Post.

The slate of shows all but confirms the canning of the Mike O'Meara Show, also mentioned below in tweets.  We hope he will land elsewhere soon.

Also, Eric Bickel (or at least who we think is Eric Bickel) weighed in on the format flip on his Twitter account as well.  He answered fan questions and here are the highlights (the most recent posts first):

THERE SHOULDN'T BE ANY CHANGE AS FAR AS THE PODCASTS GO. DON'T SWEAT IT!

For the record: IMO Big O and Dukes = Great show. Mike O'meara =radio legend. Both shows will be missed.

Oscar is going to be used by the company potentially in a lot of ways. Oscar is great. He shouldn't miss a check. Good dude.

@DeadmanNYC Mike is a radio legend in this town. I'm sure if he wants to work he can. Oscar is going to find something within the company.

@puertorok13 Nothing show wise will change. Our show has always been based in sports. But we do a sports/pop culture show already. All good
