6/14: Kimmer in court 6/15
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Remember when WGST’S the Kimmer got into a fistfight with Bush protester Will Jones after last year’s Veteran’s Day parade? Well, Jones sued and there’s a court date June 15 at 1 p.m. at the Fulton County magistrate court, room 1A. I’l definitely have to stop by for that and report back on what transpires.

6/13: Steve Harvey joining 102.5
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
R&B/talk station 102.5, which recently added Michael Eric Dyson and Al Sharpton to its lineup, is now bringing in actor/comic/radio host Steve Harvey in mornings. Harvey, who has been on the “Original Kings of Comedy” tour and helmed his own sitcom for several years, is syndicated out of New York and will take over from 6 a.m. to 10 a.m. for Silas “SiMan” Alexander, the station’s first morning host for the past three-plus years. Harvey starts June 19.
SiMan fans, don’t despair: he will now take over from 7 p.m. to midnight. He made the announcement this morning.
Harvey is heard on 22 other stations so far, including those in Los Angeles, Chicago, Detroit, Dallas and Philadelphia. More locally, he can also be heard in Savannah, Macon, Albany, Birmingham and Dothan.
The rest of the lineup stays the same, including Dyson (10 a.m. to 1 p.m.), Sharpton (1-3 p.m.), and Michael Baisden (3-7 p.m.)
Harvey had been heard for a few years in Los Angeles but has been syndicated the past year or so. He’s never been aired here but what do you think of him as a radio host for those who have heard him in other cities?
