Ralph Cooper leaving KCOH? 1560 KILE gets new building

UPDATE 7/4:
The Chron is reporting that Cooper is staying put and Richard Justice is leaving KILT:
Craig Roberts will return to Houston radio on Monday as host of an hour-long talk show on KBME (790 AM), but veteran talk show host Ralph Cooper says he will remain on KCOH (1430 AM) after electing not to accept a verbal offer to switch to 790.

Also, Chronicle columnist Richard Justice said he will no longer appear on CBS' Radio's KILT (610 AM) and that he also has declined an offer to co-host a show on 790.

So does this mean Richard Justice is going to 1560 KILE too?

Looks like the AM sports radio world in Houston could get rocked as Ralph Cooper might jump ship:
Ralph Cooper expects to let Clear Channel Radio Houston executive Michael Berry know Monday if he will jump from KCOH (1430 AM) to KBME (790 AM) to host an evening talk show.It could be the most significant move in our rapidly escalating sports talk radio competition, but it might not be the only one.

Plus, 1560 KILE is getting one step closer to becoming a sports station. The game is on:
Gow Communications leased 7,813 square feet at 5353 W. Alabama. Ron McWherter of CB Richard Ellis represented the tenant. David Gow, CEO of Gow Communications, and a group of other Houston investors purchased the licensing broadcast signal of KILE (1560 AM) earlier this year.

This will be John Granato's and Lance Zierlein's new home. OK, that is not official concerning the Z-man, I'm just guessing. But come on, his leaving KILT is just to coincidental! CONTACT: Leave me a Houston or Texas media news tip | COMMENT: Click to leave your thoughts on this post here
