Andrew Z fired from radio show
Written by Sarah Ottney | Managing Editor | sottney@toledofreepress.comAndrew Zepeda, host of the Star 105 morning show “Andrew Z in the Morning: The People’s Show,” was fired Dec. 26 by Cumulus Media along with his on-air crew, including wife Michelle Zepeda.
Cumulus Toledo General Manager Matt Spaulding verified the firing but declined to comment on reasons. Zepeda also declined comment.
“Andrew Z is no longer with the company,” Spaulding said, adding that Cumulus has not yet decided on a replacement show.
Zepeda, 43, of Perrysburg was sentenced Dec. 20 to 30 days in jail, starting Jan. 21, and five years community control, including no bars or alcohol, on three felony charges relating to a 2010 break-in at his former business. Judge Alan Mayberry of the Wood County Court of Common Pleas specified he would be eligible to apply for work release during the jail time, which would have allowed him to continue hosting the radio show.

Thank you Star 105 for ridding our city of this oversized clown once and for all. You’ve done a great service for all of us in Toledo.

Andrew Zepeda is a criminal sociopath who will never obey the judge’s orders. Zepeda will end up serving 2 years in prison as this seemingly never-ending saga keeps rolling along. Prison was invented to keep sociopaths like Zepeda off the street.

Anybody remember the failed liberal radio network Air America? Anybody?? For the few that do, they know that liberal talk radio has a long, embarrassing history of utter failure.
Why is that? Because libs don’t make fact-based arguments. They depend on using emotions and class envy to attack opponents. When needed, libs will always play the race card from the bottom of the deck. Those tactics may work for democRAT politicians, tinfoil hat-wearing bloggers, and uninformed anonymous ‘experts’ like ‘wolfboy’, but it doesn’t work on the airwaves. It’s why Rush Limbaugh has 20,000,000 listeners and no one on the left has ever close to those numbers.
WSPD is doing just fine in the ratings. I don’t think they need any ‘expert’ advice by leftist wingnuts. Go watch msdnc and get your talking points spoon-fed to you there.

I can’t STAND to listen to 92.5 with that whiny, immature and obviously attention seeking teenage girl they put on that show. I know many, many people who went to 105.5 just to get away from that girl. Stupidest decision they ever made, even my teenagers and their friends can’t stand it! Please 105.5 get another morning shw on soon!

When you steel money from hard working middle class citizens and give it to the already OVER PAYED people that don’t need anymore money like these rotten big box companies, that’s the reason this country in the hole that it’s in now! That’s why are better president is having such a tuff time getting this economy better to together cause of the mess that republican’s put us in! In the last ten years WSPD’s rating’s have gone down. In 2002 WSPD 7.0 in the rating’s in 2007 WSPD was 6.6 in 2012 4.8.
This comment was posted on January 5th, 2013 at 3:48 amThat’s exactly my point Toledo is a very liberal based city…why do we have a bunch of MONEY PIGS on the radio? Ohh I forgot Sylvania,Sylvania Township,Waterville,Monclova Township and Perrsburg.
Btw Air America failed because we don’t need to be told that we’re right everyday like you right wigs pigs!!!!!
WSPD 1370 is doing great in the latest ratings. No matter what the tinfoil hat-wearing libtards like Dayton and Wolfman may spew. Governor Kasich will be re-elected, Republicans hold ALL statewide offices, and the democrats are in decline across Ohio. Better get used to it, or move to a failed blue state.
Hey, libs: how’s your liberal talk radio Air America and Algore’s Current TV doing? Air America went bankrupt and Algore sold Current TV to the Middle East’s alJazeera. FOX News has better ratings than CNN, MSDNC, & Current/alJazeera put together, so suck on that.
