Tripp tweets, grabs Bull by horns.

[Twitch]

Tripp West will be making his debut tomorrow as a weekend jock on 94.9 The Bull.

He posted this on Twitter this morning:

@trippwest I start my new weekend gig tomorrow at 94.9 The Bull in Atlanta. Just part time for now, but we'll see where it goes.

I'm glad Tripp found something, but for such a good talent to be doing PT on weekends is a shame.

It will be great to hear Tripp again.

The Bull management seems to like the sound of CHR jocks on the station, and I agree they sound good. Jason Pullman and Kristen Gates are former CHR jocks, and Allison Reeves and Ty Bentli are based out of CHR stations in Birmingham and Chicago, respectively.

Reeves and Bentli... two shining examples of Clear Channel's new program of "Localization." ???

Well, that's true.

who cares. Madison sounds great and perks up mid-days.
Good luck to Tripp. He would hands down be the best thing they've had on the weekend there i a long time. Who knows, Kristen started out on the weekends too.

You're right, Jimbo. Voicetracked or not, Madison and Ty sound far better than their counterparts on Kicks.

And I meant Madison Reeves, not Allison Reeves. Allison Reeves is my CNN salesperson.

Well, I'll tell you who F*ing cares. The hundreds if not thousands of people who are being forced out of radio jobs by this bogus "localization" BS. The complete bastardization of the radio industry by consolidators who don't know or care crap about quality is what's at stake. If YOU don't care, as far as I'm concerned you have no credibility. Maybe you could go over to the organic foods bulletin board and advocate eating crap out of a box.

On a lighter note, Tripp West sounding great on the Bull!

That's what I'm talkin' about! *clap* *clap*

Talk on the streets is Kristen and Tripp doing mornings and Jason is going to afternoons.

 

[RTibbs]

Perhaps you rolled one too many up? I can't see that unless he has already decided he does not want the gig and will just VT afternoons?

 

[rolloneup]

Jason has signed an afternoon contract never a morning deal. They wanted a caddy and the deal never happened... Pullman in mornings is a temp deal, could explain the lack of advertising for him in mornings???

 

[RhubarbFan]

Good for Trip,he deserves it. what is Lance goig to do?

 

[T.G.]

Tripp and Kristen had that "magic" thing when they subbed for Steve & Vikki on STAR. I hope to hear them together again soon.
