RADIO End of ethnic shows draws complaint against Akron WMXP, an adult contemporary station that finished 14th in that city's spring ratings book. He's on the air from 3 to 7 p.m. weekdays, and will double as production director. Bob yM Dyer The other newcomer is Jerry Heckler, who used to do middays at WAKR (1590-AM).

Heckler's shift is 9 a.m. to noon. The departed Sullivan now has worked at no fewer than seven Northeast stations. He claims WQMX unloaded him because he asked for a raise when his one-year contract expired. The station says Sullivan did ask for a raise, but insists he was canned only, because Bill Shield, who moves to eve-1 nings, is better suited for a new ap-! proach the station is taking in that time; slot.

i A University of Akron faculty member is attempting to block the renewal of the broadcasting license for Akron U's own radio station. Robert Deitchman has filed a formal complaint with the Federal Communications Commission about the university's well-publicized decision to eliminate 13 ethnic programs on W23P (88.1-FM). "Several instances have occurred in which the ethnic community and minority community were treated shabbily and with disregard to the public-service aspects of the university," Deitchman wrote in a letter to the Federal Communications Commission. He sent along a variety of documents in support of his contention, including a letter from Cleveland Mayor George Voinovich to WZIP bemoaning the move. The licenses of Ohio stations are up for renewal Oct.

1. Howie Chizek of talk station WNIR (100.1-FM) said an annual salary of $125,000 was bandied about when WWWE (1100-AM) contacted him to see whether he was interested in replacing Gary Dee, who was fired Aug. 31. For Lovers Only, has been stripped of his evening throne and turned into a sidekick for morning man Lynn Tolliver. That move came on the heels of Bobby Rush's demotion from midday man to morning sidekick.

Now Rush has gone to Charles' old spot. Although area stations are jumping on the promotional bandwagon for the Rolling Stones' Sept. 27 appearance at Cleveland Stadium, it is unlikely that any of them will go to the extreme heard recently in Miami. A couple of Fridays ago, Tom Robinson, midday jock for WZTA, entered the studio at 10 a.m. and declared that he was going to play every song the Stones ever recorded.

He kept his word 23 hours later. The new program director at public radio station WKSU (89.7-FM), Eric Hammer, has reworked the station's weekend schedule. Get out your score-card: Friday afternoon's Ohio Portfolio moves from 4:30 to 6:30, replaced at 4:30 by Monitoradio. Friday late night's Mountain Stage and Lonesome Pine have been dropped, replaced by classical music (3 to 5 a.m.) and a longer version of Doug Mclntyre's folk show (5 a.m.). The same schedule will be implemented Saturday late nights, where the victims also include Joe Frank.

On Sept. 23, Mountain Stage reappears Saturdays at 8 p.m. The Sunday Prairie Home Companion rebroadcasts have swapped places with Music From Europe. PHC now starts at 3 p.m., and Music starts at 1 p.m. Sci-Fi Radio has been zapped from its 11:30 p.m.

Sunday slot, replaced by an extension of Jim Blum's acoustic show. WQMX (94.9-FM) of Fairlawn has dumped veteran rock jock Tom Sullivan, hired two new voices and shortened its air shifts. Most Northeast Ohio stations use four different announcers between 6 a.m. and midnight, at least during the week. WQMX is offering five.

One of them is Chuck Abel, who rolled into town Tuesday from Pittsburgh's And Chizek is still at WNIR? "I make a very nice salary here," he said. "But I couldn't have taken the offer anyway." Chizek's contract with WNIR runs through 1990, and he has a non-compete clause that forbids him from working for another area station within a year of leaving. Moreover, Chizek said, he feels intense loyalty to WNIR, where he has worked since 1974. On the other hand, after five years at WWWE the contract length discussed one's loyalties could have changed. Especially at $2,403.85 per week.

Cleveland's WZAK (93.1-FM) has made two major lineup changes in less than a month. Jeffrey Charles, the deep-er-than-deep voice of Pillow Talk and Akron native Dan Moldea, who has1 written a book that attempts to link the! National Football League with organized crime, is scheduled to be the guest-jot Bennie the Bookie on the season premiere of NFL Fan Feedback Monday-night on WNIR.
