For certain specific reasons, I have a good feeling about this, but don't want to say too much too quickly right now. Besides, remember what happened the last time I had a good feeling as things were beginning to look good... Anyway, you already know that I will come back and address this later on down the road and explain it more thoroughly. For now, I'm just saying I believe this will most likely go well.
 
Funny that CBS Radio didn't do the same thing with Dave FM. Their three PDs over the years have been named Michelle, Mike and Scott!

Rodney throwing some funny around... Nice
 
Does WWVA still have a morning show? I'm about to go to sleep and too lazy to check at the moment, so hopefully by the time I wake up there are answers here. I did a quick random check and noticed an unusual amount of songs played during the morning, and I'm very positive that the Elvis Duran show didn't just suddenly become "that musical".

It's possible. Even Bubba the Love Sponge started playing music on his morning show.
 
I finally saw a WILD billboard today along Bufordy Hwy in Doraville. The layout could've been way better in my opinion. It has night jock Mami Chula on the left, logo center and 3 different artist right side.

The one I saw on Clairmont had Maverick on it. (They've obviously been working on this for a while.) I realize the station has a fairly high Hispanic composition, but I still think CC is making a mistake by using that signal, which does well in Hispanic areas, for WILD at the expense of the station they could get more Hispanic revenue from, El Patron, if El Patron had a strong signal in Gwinnett. And I think they're making a mistake with WILD because 105.3 would make them strong throughout Atlanta, which 105.7 is not.
