When you mention the name “Fly Jock”, that’s what Tom Joyner did for years.

It’s well documented that Joyner constantly commuted from Dallas to Chicago and back for many years. He did that from 1985-93 and racked up 7 million frequent flyer miles in a Radio Ink interview along the way.

I remember John Williams did something along those lines, too. Williams split his time between WCCO-AM in Minneapolis & 720 AM WGN Radio for many years before leaving the Twin Cities completely & devoting to WGN full time many years ago.

As for Tim Virgin, it sounded live when he was on 97.1 FM The Drive the last couple days, even though he’s still on KSHE 95 in St. Louis as well. I think in due time, Virgin will likely have to decide how long he’ll host afternoons on the 2 Hubbard-owned Classic Rock stations.

I think the difference besides the 1 hour time difference & the 2 companies under the same ownership is that Virgin doesn’t have to constantly commute like Joyner did.
