WBLS Morning show

[955wdhf]

I understand that according to Radio and Records. That Morning host Paul Mooney
and the station have parted ways.
Now, looking at the WBLS' website, it shows that comedian and former Morning man
from KKBT's THE BEAT Los Angeles joins Mornings at BLS. Now is he just filling
in until they find a new replacement for Mornings? or is this permanent?<P ID="signature">______________

I believe it is permanent.
WBLS has had alot of changes to it's morning show as of late starting with Rick Party.
Seems they can't really find their niche for the morning listeners nor for the music.
WBLS once NYC's legendary urban station has become #4 among New York's urban audience....
Their move to Urban ac didn't help.

Exactly, WBLS switching to Urban AC was a mistake. They can't
compete with (WRKS) 98.7 "Kiss FM". I never thought that Paul
Mooney was going to stay much longer. He is a funny & talented
comedian, however that 5 day a week 6-10am grind is not for
everyone. I tried to listen sometimes and he really seemed to
struggle with it. The skits were very corny. He was funny when he would
shoot from the hip and talk about things going on in the news.
WBLS really needs to get it together. A mix of R&B, Old School Hip Hop,
and Reggae with Classic New York Jocks behind the Mic would be great.
As well as legendary mix show DJ's working the turntables. I know
that I'm not the only person who has thought about this.

As far as the morning drive slot goes they need serious help. In the
past two years they had Doug Banks, Rick Party, & Paul Mooney. Now
the search continues
