6/19: Double Down off to Tampa
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
The Buzz overnight guy Double Down (AKA James Howard) is off to become the program director at the Clear Channel rock station in Tampa dubbed 98rock, according to allaccess.com.
I met him at the Crash Bash a few months ago. He was also the assistant to Clear Channel senior vp Marc Chase and as a young guy in his mid 20s, he’s clearly ambitious and had plans to go into management. So this move isn’t a surprise at all. He was only at the Buzz for about a year. Given his credentials, this is a rather impressive jump for him but given his boss was Marc Chase, not a surprise.

6/19: Q100 in the NYT
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Bert sent this out over the weekend. “Father Crunk,” who we profiled a few weeks back, is the subject of a story in the New York Times.
Here’s what Bert wrote:’
The story is here. This is the on line version of the printed column in the New York times on June 17th.
Just to give you some background:
Every few weeks, Father Bailey joins The Bert Show in studio. His focus is the dysfunction in Hollywood and pop culture. His theory is that we shouldn’t laugh at Hollywood’s dysfunction. We should embrace and learn from it ‘cause a lot of it pertains to lessons taught in the bible. But he delivers his “Bert Show” sermons in such a hip, street-like, crunk way that you can’t help but listen to him.
If the link to the NY Times article isn’t working by the time you check it out, I’ll cut and paste the entire article for you at the bottom of this e-mail. In the meantime, if you want to hear any of his segments, check it out at here.
