for the Atlanta radio listeners...

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.

Actually, since Chris WIlliams was fired Leslie became the new PD. She's got her hands full, so she left the show and now it's the "Fred and Jimmy Bang Each Other In the Ass Show." In fact, Leslie is voicetracked (pre-recorded) during the 9-10a hour, due to her heavy schedule.

I'm not sure if you caught it, but a few days ago Toucher and Jimmy were talking about things that are permanent and he said under his breath, "Except for radio." Hmmm...

99X also has a new survey you can fill out on their main page. If you have 5 minutes I highly recommend filling it out and voicing your opinion.

99 what?

I hate morning radio anyway, but 99x keeps digging lower and lower.

Minus the Parade Kid reports of course. D'ville represent!

I didn't think they could go worse than Barnes, but Toucher hits mediocrity and idiocy out of the park. I sometimes listen for the same reason you stare at a carwreck.

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."<<

it can always be worse

You could have Bubba the Love Sponge shoved down your throat.

He's the worst shock jock I've ever heard--mind you, most shock jocks to me are people that you want to scream at the top of your lungs 'will you shut up and play some freaking music?' but they never will.

Bubba was your typical southern male chauvanist jerk, with the world's most annoying voice.

A typical example: his Christmas promotion one year was, I kid you not: "the twelve boobs of christmas"--six free breast enhancements from a local plastic surgeon...
