The New MorningX?
So being that I am in Columbia, I was not aware of the regime change at the 99x Morning Show. Apparently they've been going on for a few weeks now and I'm curious as to how it's going. After the good old days of Sean Demery then Barnes, Leslie and Jimmy, things went downhill when the show went through the various phases of: The Don Miller Morning Show (arguably the worst phase); The Toucher, Jimmy, and Leslie Morning Show; and Mornings with Axel, Jimmy, and Leslie.Yes, I am getting all of this information from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WNNX-FM and once again I marvel at how much that website knows. It was like a trip down the Atlanta musical memory lane to read that entry.
I'm intrigued to listen to the new show and shall be tuning into 99x.com some mornings in order to check it out. Just a heads up for all you misplaced Atlantans all over the country at the moment.
Oh and by the way, ever wondered what happend to Crash Clark and his traffic updates? Wonder no more....
Was suspended more than once while working at the station. Was fired at the end of November 2005 for a contest gone wrong. According to reports, Crash was hosting a remote at a club and had pairs of tickets to a private 99x concert by 311 to give away. A woman approached and offered to perform oral sex on someone at the club for the tickets. Crash assumed she wouldn't actually go through with it (noting that people had offered to do the same at previous events and hadn't) and was planning to give her the tickets even if she didn't. However, she did go through with it (in the men's bathroom), upsetting the club owners and 99x programming director Leslie Fram. Made a brief final appearance on air near the end of Toucher's final show (on March 17th, 2006), where Clark jokingly asked Fram to hire him back "for the fifth time". Currently involved in a radio show with Fred Toucher and Rich Shertenlieb known as The Toucher and Rich show on WBCN in Boston.
