Moline, who is the host of the popular postgame call-in show after the Illini football and basketball broadcasts as well as the afternoon show host, will leave the radio center for WILL.
Since 2000, Moline has been with WDWS and WHMS. At 1400, he has hosted the "News Hour" at 4:00 each afternoon, as well as the Thursday and Friday editions of "Sports Talk".
Although his daily duties are a plus, most central Illinois residents know Moline as the host of the popular "Fasteners Etc. Postgame Show" after each Illini football and men's basketball game, where his calm and steady demeanor kept hold while many of the callers rambled on and on about the struggles of the Illini.
He has also done fill-in play-by-play for both sports, as well as baseball, softball, and volleyball for Dave Loane. Moline has broadcasted Little League games on the radio, which can be heard on WDWS each week.
At his new location inside Campbell Hall, Moline will be anchoring the daily newscasts for WILL's "Morning Edition", the popular NPR nationwide newscast that can be heard each morning. He will be going in-depth with the news, as well as writing on the station's website. It will be a more regular schedule.
As for WDWS, it faces its first major programming decision since 2009, when Gary O'Brien departed and the "News Hour" began. A new host will need to be found for both the 4:00 and 5:00 hour shows that Moline hosted, as well as the postgame show. Football postgame co-host Martin O'Donnell will no longer be hosting the show, as he will be replacing Kurt Kittner as color commentator during the games.
