Where is TK going? He had been a long time morning favorite. Didn't Brad Jeffries either work at U-102 or B-97 back in the late 80's/early 90's - sometime around that time. When he first joined the staff at Oldies, his name sounded familiar. Ashley's good and has been a long time favorite among listeners around here for years, but I wonder if she'll be good enough to hold on to TK's audience?

I like Ashley, but TK was awesome. He had a certain wit about him that wasn't as harsh as other morning personalities around town. He was really down to Earth, but I have to admit I haven't listened as much as I did when Kristen was around. Nothing against Ashley, but I liked the way TK and Kristen complemented each other.
Ya' know, I saw a survey a few weeks ago where 97.5 was asking questions like "Do you find some of TK's opinions negative towards women?" And I thought, 'What the hell is this crap? Who's been bitching now?' I guess someone got a hold of GM's ear. Damn. That sucks for TK. He is really good.

Brad Jefferies was the afternoon drive-time personality on Star 93.1 and 102.1 for a brief time before moving to afternoons on B97.5. He then was promoted to MD/APD at Oldies.

Close. Brad was never APD of Oldies. He was APD/MD of the B under Vance Dillard. When Vance got blown out, he was PD of Oldies, and then briefly Jack. Then he was interim PD of 94.3 for a couple of weeks, and now morning sidekick.

Can we take a poll (was re: B97.5 changes)
Who thinks this is for real? There are several things in this situation that just don't add up.
- A polling about TK mentioned above
- A #2 station dumping their longtime morning personality who has always drawn solid numbers, no matter who he has been paired with. Who does that?
- Someone with the longevity of TK had to have a pretty solid contract. I find it hard to believe that it would either suddenly end or be involved in drawn-out negogiations without any of us hearing about it.
It smells of a ratings stunt to me. Give TK a two-week vacation. Play some angry calls on-air. Bring TK back from Hawaii and tell the listeners that they have spoken and make them think that SS gives a rat's ass about them.
I know this, at least one other cluster is planning on reaching out to him this week. I'm checking to see if the otehr is planning on doing the same. We should know pretty soon if this is for real or some sort of stunt.

Well if TK didn't leave on his own for a better gig, like moving to SC's Nashville AC Then HOW stupid is this..........gee don't ya think that the point would hire him in a heart beat and wham bam thank you mam the point has a shot had hurting Bee and then star moves into a solid #2. Hey didn't Jarnigutt fire Brad and Ashley while he was OM at Journal and NOW he hires them for his morning show on bee. Prediction look for Jim Kelly to be named WIMZ PD before then end of the year

I agree...if it's true, it's unbelievable...considering that TK was the one
who built the audience for B-97.5! I gave an ear online this morning and Ashley and Brad sound pretty bad. Besides, if it is true and TK's not just on vacation, they do a lousy job of updating their website which as of Monday morning has TK prominently on the homepage!!
booger!

I believe they both left on their own, but it was during the Jarnigan administration.

That's only been the rumor for what, six months? A year? It's been rumored so long, I'd almost be suprised if it happened now.

Hearing now that TK is definietely out from SS and that it is not a stunt. TK is reportedly near a deal with another local station.
Funny that his face still graces the front page of the B website. Great web people they have over there.

Re: I was wrong
TK to B-97 is the equivalent of what Phil Williams was to WIMZ. When WIMZ had Phil, their morning show was one of the highest rated morning shows in Knoxville and they were usually #2 or #3 in the overall numbers. When Phil left, WIMZ had a hard time getting their morning show right, and their overall numbers went down. Now they hover around #5 or #6 but they did manage to survive after Phil left and even knocked off a couple of competitors in the process.
B is the same way - top rated morning show, #2 or #3 in the overall numbers and now they've lost their veteran morning guy. It will be interesting to see if this station can survive the TK loss. TK WAS B-97 just like Phil Williams WAS WIMZ. TK's move to another station may hurt B during the mornings, but I'd say they majority of the listeners will stick with B during the day and evenings. As for Delilah at night - I honestly don't see how that show can pull in a single number. If that's all it takes to be on the radio then I should have gotten into the business a long time ago! ha ha ha
One question - was TK's leaving B-97 voluntary on his own part, maybe going for more money, etc. or was he forced out by South Central?

What I'm hearing is that the management at B used an email survey with several leading questions to provide some ammo with which to kick him to the curb. There were also cost issues. A 12-year market veteran who has been near the top of the ratings for nearly all of that time commands quite a salary. I think they felt they could save the money and get similiar numbers with two proven market vets. I think they're wrong, especially since TK will start at a new station in the market very soon. Since he was forced out, there is no non-compete period.
You all know I love Phil Williams, but I think B will take a much larger hit in the morning ratings than WIMZ did when Phil left, especially considering there won't be a year-long period where he's not on the air like there was with Phil.

Since her show is syndicated and on in partically every market in the country, she must be pulling in pretty good numbers or else her show would not be on anywhere. Of course, you probably thought her show was coming straight from B-97.5's studios.

Actually, I thought Delilah lived inside my radio and broadcasted across the country from in there. I kept peeking through those little holes trying to find her hiding behind all those wires and stuff but just couldn't find her. I thought that little light that comes on inside was on so she could see what she was doing inside the radio. Thanks for clearing that up though. I guess I better go and crumble up some bread crumbs and push them through the holes in the back of the radio because I bet Delilah is getting hungry. Maybe if I talk to her through the back of the radio long enough, she might want to come out!
Just kidding, man. I had to do that. Coudln't resist.

Quite frankly you are an idiot. Brad has 1000% better work
ethic than that egomaniac he replaced. Plus, he doesn't
talk down to his audience. South Central isn't stupid.
They saw the writing on the wall over the past few years,
I'm sure, and they made a "balls" move. Let's see what
happens next. To clarify one more point: Jarnigan didn't
make a decision this big without support from the GM,
consultant, research info and corporate. So I doubt if they
are afraid of TK crossing the street. They likely know way
more about the outcome of a move like that than anyone posting
on this board!

Brad may have a better work ethic than TK....but still little if any talent..he had none when he was a mere babe up here in the Tri-Cities and hasn't progressed any!!!So what if he is better than what he replaced....if he's not talented it doiesn't matter how little talent he replaced!!!!!!!
