What's up with 99X in the mornings? They cut the morning show an hour, renamed it after Toucher (good grief why?!), and gave Leslie the Nineties at Nine. Which is cool with me because I like the '90s and I like Leslie. But I'm wondering what happened. Personally, my money's on Leslie refused to keep working with Toucher, because he's an ass.

From the Peachbuzz in today's AJC:

>>'Don Miller' out, Toucher in at 99X

Drumroll, please. The 10-month-old 99X "Don Miller Morning Show" is now called . . . "The Toucher Show Featuring Toucher and Jimmy." Straightforward, if a tad redundant.

Fred Toucher told Buzz it was management's decision to nix the fictional Don Miller, not his. Nonetheless, "you get twice the Toucher" in the name, Toucher noted.

And with the departure of 99X Program Director Leslie Fram from the morning show, it's now an all-guy affair.

"The chick who cleans the studio before we come in is a woman," Toucher offered, eliciting howls of laughter by 99X employees in the background.

Realizing the power of his humor (at least with his fellow show members), Toucher added: "Use that."<<
