We’re just going to assume this isn’t our fault.

WFNX, with new vice president of broadcast operations Mike Tierney, is making huge changes to the station’s lineup.

“The Sandbox,” the popular morning show that Blast sometimes appeared on, has been axed. The Sandbox’s Charlie Padgett and Ed Oliveira were fired, and Dustin Fletcher Matthews and news reader Henry Santoro will join a new morning show with program director Keith Dakin.

WFNX will also no longer air Dr. Drew Pinsky’s syndicated “Loveline” nighttime radio show.

In the afternoon slot. "Big Jim" Murray has been replaced with former WBCN jock Adam 12. Murray will stay at the station but will have an off-air role.

    Go to Toucher and Rich! So much better than the Sandbox ever was – actually, the Sandbox sucked.

    “the popular morning show”. If by “popular” you mean worst rated show on the dial…Good riddence. Just got back from extended work in L.A. and was very pleased to find that this show is gone! It was whiney and arrogant. Play a record you morons.
