Good Karma Brands' 620 WTMJ, a Milwaukee-based News/Talk outlet, is set to undergo a lineup shuffle. The station will introduce a new midday show, "Point Taken," featuring Steve Scaffidi and Kristin Brey, both of whom are current members of the WTMJ team. The program is scheduled to debut on Wednesday, April 16, and will air from 10am-noon.

Kristin Brey reflected on her evolving relationship with Scaffidi, stating, "Steve first invited me to come onto his show back in 2020, and our chemistry was instant. He's a big reason why I'm in radio today. After frequently guesting on each other's shows and occasionally co-hosting, I'm excited for us to engage daily on the biggest political stories, sharing the dynamic and fun exchanges that make for compelling radio."

Scaffidi also expressed enthusiasm about the new arrangement: "Launching our podcast, 'You Need to Listen,' was just the beginning. Now, hosting a daily show together will allow us to delve deeper into the day's news and offer our distinct takes to our listeners."

The lineup change follows the departure of Brian Noonan, Brey's former co-host on the "Spanning the State" show, which aired from 1-3pm. Scaffidi currently hosts "Political Power Hour" from 9-10am.

Additionally, "The Upswing," a politically-oriented program hosted by Jeff Sherman, which currently occupies the 10-11am slot, will transition to a weekend slot and be adapted into a weekly podcast.
