Rumor has it that Radio One head honchos showed a few personalities from 94.5 and 97.9 the door today. Anybody know about this?

Word has that K-Soul evening jock Rudy V was one of the casualties, that's the only one I heard of so far.
 
I heard that Lynne Haze from 94.5, and Supa K from 97.9 are gone as well.
 
Damn! They got Lynne Haze too? So I would assume the only thing on 94.5 is Tom Joyner in the morning and Michael Baisden in the afternoon. Sounds like they might be doing a similar Urban AC format like the Radio One Urban ACs in Washington, D.C. and Charlotte, NC. They laid off all the jocks at RO station WMMJ Majic 102.3 in DC, it's still Urban AC but focusing more on 80, 90's and the newer music. So far the only jock that's hired on the station is John Monds in afternoons.
 
I heard Big Baby Kenny J on last night, so I guess he's taking over for Rudy V.
 
Looking at KSOC's website, Kelli Sims(she is a cutie) and Big Baby are replacing Lynne Haze and Rudy V.
 
According to the website it looks permanent. Kenny J had been working evenings for Rudy V since around late April or May because there was something about him being involved in serious car accident around that time.
