97.1 FM The Drive does have some syndicated programming on the weekends. They still air "The Classics with Steve Downes" Saturday nights @ 10P-Midnight (CT). They also air "The Acoustic Storm" with host Audrey Parets Sunday mornings @ 7A (CT). BOTH shows are produced by United Stations Radio Network.
Speaking of cost cutting, Hubbard Radio made cutbacks in staff twice, first in 2018 & again in the pandemic year of 2020. The Drive cut evening host Phil Manicki & overnight host Greg Easterling among the 2020 cutbacks due in large part to COVID. Easterling's position was eliminated completely and The Drive has been jockless overnights ever since.
