Local conservatives got a lump of coal this afternoon when they tuned into WINA 1070 AM for the “The Schilling Show.” Sources at the station confirm that the show has been cancelled. The former Charlottesville City Councilor and the lone Republican to serve on Council in a long while first joined the station following the departure of longtime morning host Dick Mountjoy due to illness. Schilling went to his own afternoon call-in program in January of this year.
Calls for comment to programming personnel at the station were not immediately returned.
Rob Schilling was elected to City Council in 2002.
