6/27: Rashan Ali is pregnant
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Rashan Ali, co-host of the A Team on Hot 107.9, is pregnant with her first child. She and her husband of four years Brian are due in December. She said she’s had a smooth first trimester. No morning sickness, which is causing rampant jealousy among her friends.

6/27: The Regular Guys
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Larry Wachs of the Regular Guys called me this morning to complain about something. I wasn’t sure at the time what he had in mind, but he said it was because of my 99X story on Sunday. I had written about how the station has lost its ratings and he was wondering why I didn’t give the Regular Guys credit for helping knock down the Morning X in the 1998-2004 period. In retrospect, I admitted I should have at least mentioned it because it is true: the Regular Guys did impact the Morning X numbers. But I said I was thinking in a broader station sense and that was an omission. Still, the mornings do drive stations like 99X and as the morning show weakened, so did the rest of the station. And even when the Regular Guys were gone for a year from spring 2004 to spring 2005 after that infamous indecency snafu, 99X was unable to take advantage of their absence.
With 99X’s morning show in transition, the Regular Guys should do well this spring. Their ratings numbers are solid but not quite where they were during their peak in 2002-04.

6/27: Back to the ATL
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
I was on vacation last week in Honololul/Waikiki. I did get to listen to a little Hawaiian radio. The jocks in general were often pretty mediocre compared to what we get here in Atlanta, which isn’t surprising given the size of the market. Cox, which owns WSB-AM, Kiss, the Beat and B98.5, has several stations there including Crater 96.3. I actually heard this: “We’re voted No. 1 in Hawaii for most music while you work.” Democracy at work — in Atlanta and Honolulu!
