KYOT-the smooooth lady is back!

[Jeremy Oliver]

Melissa Sharpe is back on mornings at KYOT. Former morning host, Tony Evans, switches to middays.

After 7 years, the smooooth lady is back on smooooth jazz, and I, for one, am jazzed.

Welcome back, Missy!

Live or voice-tracked morning show?

I remember hearing Melissa on San Diego smooth jazz KIFM in 2006. She was engaged to Mitch Lewis who also worked at the station. They were planning a wedding on an Alaska cruise for August 2006. Somehow, the cruise, which was not sponsored by KIFM, became a major part or every show, inviting listeners to join them on the cruise, etc. Then, all of a sudden, Melissa was gone from the station with no mention why she left.

With the shuffle at the KYOT, what happened to Angie Handa?

Guess I just needed to look a little harder...Angie is the new PD at Cleveland's WNWV.

WNWV Names New PD

Various trade websites report that Elyria-Lorain Broadcasting has picked its replacement for long-time smooth jazz WNWV/107.3 program director Bernie Kimble.

She's Angie Handa, who comes to "The Wave" from a stint as assistant program director/music director of Clear Channel's Phoenix smooth jazz outlet, KYOT. Her resume includes a gig at a another smooth jazz station in Phoenix, and other earlier experience at AC and Hot AC outlets.

What a bad decision.

She got fired from the other station before the cruise took place. Big surprise.

Let's hope she won't last long here either!
