Mike Reeves Exits Mix For Q105

Guest
I just read on Radio and Records that Mike Reeves is exiting Clear Channel Mix 100.7 for WRBQ taking over afternoon duties, do you think Mike knows somthing, Is Whoopie on here way to Tampa???
 
I think it's more of "I can't take this b______ anymore for 3-4 hours every morning, someone get me outta here." Sounds like a great gig for Mike and Mason probably loves nothing more than to help break off another piece of the crumbling 100.7. How much more life does this station have in it? Between Mix and The Point, someone's gotta blink soon and bail on the current format. Anyone know the status of Nancy's contract? Seems to me that may be the only thing keeping Mix contemporary for the forseable future.
 
I've heard from friends in the CC complex that Mike was happy with the show but couldn't stand working with Nancy... Nothing new there, as many successful morning teams have little love for each other... but to wake up every morning at 4:30am and know you're going to get your -- how can i say this politely -- balls chopped off every morning... Jeez man, that's why we're married! Our wives can do that to us, but our co-workers... not so much. I'm surprised Mike hung in as long as he did.

p.s. "balls chopped off" was not very polite. Sorry.

Also, wasn't Mike Reeves involved with the heydays at Q105 when they were top 40?

Absolutely! He was the production director at Q105 for a number of years. Great to see Mike back where he belongs.
 
I'm glad Mike's returning "home" and w/o HER. Although, I would like to know what happened to John Kelly. I haven't heard anything other than he'll be back soon... until this week. I thought he was good afternoon talent and wish him the best.

Now if Dave Mann, Chuck Bear, Bobby Rich, etc. could come back to do middays or an occasional Dance Party or weekend shift. Then if CBS could entice Wheeler to come back... Sorry, I got caught up in the moment then remembered the current state of dysfunction of a once creative industry. Oh well, back to sleep.
 
The CC Jobs Site has his job posted. See Below

"WMTX-FM Tampa Mix 100.7 is in need of a non-stop, show prepping morning show co-host. Sit along market legend Nancy Alexander in the most beautiful city in the world! Must be able to relate to women and hold your own against them!! This Hot AC is on a roll and need you now to compliment Nancy in the rating success to come. Flawless board execution is a must, you must drive on the right side of the road and take the FIRST exit! Get your tape, resume and photo to Doug Hamand, 4002 Gandy Blvd, Tampa FL 33611. No calls please, Clear Channel is an equal opportunity employer."
 
John Kelly is the Production Director. He'll still be working for Q105 just not an air shift.
 
This Hot AC is on a roll...

BBbbbwwwwwaaaahahahahahaha!!

... and need you now to compliment Nancy in the rating success to come.

Not to get all nitpicky, but the word is complement with an e, not an i. Although, part of the job description probably does include complimenting Nancy on a regular basis.
 
"Must be able to relate to women and hold your own against them!!"
Well, count out the married men to include myself!

After some thought, Clear Channel decided to change their job posting:

WMTX-FM Tampa Mix Rumba 100.7 is in need of a non-stop, show prepping morning show co-host. Sit along market legend Nancy Alexander whoever we can get in the most beautiful city in the world! Must be able to relate to women and hold your own against themfluent in spanish!! This Hot AC Tropical is on a roll and need you now to compliment Nancy whoever in the rating success sh--to come. Flawless board Execution is a must, you must drive on the right left side of the road and take the FIRST exit! Get your tape, resume and photo to Doug Hamand, 4002 Gandy Blvd, Tampa FL 33611. No calls please, Clear Channel is an equal opportunity employer. Wow, we are doomed!

Relax! I'm just joking...

...or am I?

Let the countdown begin.
 
OK so I've been out of radio for awhile now and have no intentions of going back into it, but since when do you have to send in a photo for an on air radio job. Is cc going to discriminate against someone who may have the perfect voice and talent for the job, but not a pretty face for someone who may not have the perfect voice and talent, but looks like Brad Pitt ??? Whatever happened to theatre of the mind?
 
C'mon.. you all know better. 100.7 isn't going spanish/rumba/latino/whatever. The morning show carried the station for a while but can't anymore since Nancy got fired from Fox, and CC needs more from their ac's and Mix has potential. So look for the Whoopi show soon which imho would be only a minor improvement over what is on now.

What sucks is what will CC do when Whoopi pulls a david lee roth and there's no local talent left to fill the gaps?
