Bob "Wojo" Wojnowski (born 1961 in Buffalo, New York) is an American reporter and columnist for ''The Detroit News'' and co-host of a radio show with Jamie Samuelsen on WXYT-FM in Detroit, Michigan. Wojnowski also appears often on Fox 2 WJBK's ''Sunday Night Sports Works'' roundtable. Wojnowski previously co-hosted the ''Stoney and Wojo'' radio show on WDFN. Along with co-host Mike Stone, the ''Stoney and Wojo'' show had been a consistent ratings leader for years in the Detroit afternoon drive time slot〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=ESPN Travel Center. City Guides website )〕 until it was canceled on January 20, 2009. ==Career== Wojo has developed a split existence in the Detroit media, he portrays himself as a goofy, Nutter Butter obsessed idiot-savant on the radio at times, but also writes some of the most interesting and insightful sports commentary in the country. He is known for continually welcoming callers on the ''Stoney and Wojo'' show with "Happy New Year" well into July, and for continually reminding his co-host of his past, real or imagined, extra-marital affairs in Atlanta, drug use, and sleeping in the same bed as his sister while growing up. Yet Wojo also displays strong interviewing skills and can penetrate to the heart of the latest Detroit sports topic. He never shies away from asking a guest the hardest questions. He is very dedicated to his journalism print career and often misses his radio show because of his coverage of away games. Personally, he is married to his refrigerator—according to his station bio. The ''Stoney and Wojo'' show was a three hour radio broadcast that included listener call-in segments, regular guests, and current affairs talk slanted towards the Detroit and Michigan sports fan. With Mike Stone and Wojnowski's playful repartee, the show had developed a definite comedic quality with Stone playing straight man to Wojo's more clownish comments. The heart of the show was sports and the breaking news of the Detroit sports market was paramount. Included were interviews, where the professional journalism strengths of both Stone and Wojnowski come to the fore. Occasionally, political news was featured, Governor Jennifer Granholm has appeared several times, for example. Stoney and Wojo conducted an annual 28 hour radiothon in support of research for a cure of leukemia and lymphoma. The event was started when Sabrina Black, WDFN update reporter, was diagnosed with lymphoma, and continued after her long battle with the disease lead to her death in 2006. It was typically held in a Metro Detroit restaurant and includes many regular guest appearances including Tony Dungy and Joe Dumars, among many others. Stoney and Wojo filled in for Jim Rome on the North American syndicated ''The Jim Rome Show'' on July 13, 2007. On January 20, 2009, due to cutbacks at Clear Channel, the ''Stoney and Wojo Show'' was discontinued on WDFN "The Fan" in Detroit. Wojo is a longtime active member of the Detroit Sports Broadcasters Association. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bob Wojnowski」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
