Hey guys! Thanks for the talk on RadioNOW!
Just to keep the board in the loop...
a) Our new night Austin will be starting Monday night, January 7th. Austin joins us from 955 The Beat in Atlanta and he is a phenomenal talent. We are excited to have him on board!
b) We are currently planning to announce the hiring of the NEW RadioNOW morning show within the next 7-10 days. As no other morning show will ever be "The Morning Mess", we are confident in the Radio One building that the new morning show will be just as good, if not better. I love Marco, Shannon and SuperPhat Mikey and they already have a great start in Atlanta, but we do have to move on.
All that we ask is when they start, listen with an open mind. As all of us current jocks and former jocks know, the first few shows are rough, especially transferring to a new city, adjusting to a new radio station. The only natural progression is up.
c) Both Ed Wank and Dave O'Brien are great guys, but they have a great show on 97.1 Hank FM, but they won't be joining us on RadioNOW.
d) Actually, when it comes to the music, if you A and B the Top 40 and rhythmic chart, they are both very similar, especially, the top 10 records on both charts. But as you gents know, we play the hits. Whatever is hot (top 40, rhythmic, AC, Country), we're going to play it.
RadioNOW 100.9 is in a great spot. We're on the air and having fun, which is why we got into the business in the first place! If you guys have any other suggestions or want to chat radio, please hit me up!
Happy 2008!
