This just in:
Amy B Back On the Air
Returns as nationally syndicated midday show

Dynamic air personality Amy B will be back on the country airwaves soon, this time as a nationally syndicated midday show. ABC Radio Networks 24-hour format "Today's Best Country" just signed the veteran broadcaster and will begin clearing the show August 20.

Amy B recently left Cumulus KPLX (99.5 the Wolf)/Dallas after a 10-year run which saw her dominate the midday slot in Dallas, accumulating 10 consecutive number one 25-54 books during one stretch. Prior to joining KPLX, she held on-air positions at KWLD/Phoenix, WKRG and WAVH/Mobile, and WGRX/Baltimore.

In a statement, Amy B said of her upcoming show for ABC Radio Networks, "I ain't bringing sexy back, but great radio."
 
And I wonder what's happened to Jim Casey who was on Middays? He's been there for years....
Her voice doesn't do it for me, but she's got great energy and content.

However, "Icon"????

So, upon a quick scan of the website. www.bestcountryaround.com Amy B is no longer with them. Looks like the run
with Citadel was quite a bust. no?

If all jocks worked as hard & smart while they were on the air as Amy B. does, music radio would be a LOT more entertaining.

Her style of "entertainment" is lost on me. It's like Carrot Top or Gallagher or some comedian like that compared to folks that don't need sight gags to be funny.
 
wasnt she already "back" and gone form KSCS? She was with ABC Netwok then...why the big production now?

I believe "The Best Country Around" is a country satellite service fed to stations like WRHM in Rock Hill, SC. Wouldn't Amy have her own profile up on the ABCRN website?

And what is all this "one good eye" business, anyway? You'd think she'd fit right in on pirate radio! :D
