6/16: Leslie Fram going to NY
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Former 99X program director and morning host Leslie Fram is going to New York to be the program director of a new rock station WRXP-FM/101.9.
The news actually came out hours ago but I was in flight from Newark coming back from a funeral so I’m sorry I’m a bit late on this one. Ironically, I listened a bit to RXP this morning on my way to the airport.
The station is somewhat more eclectic than Dave FM or Rock 100.5. I heard “Suicide Blonde” by INXS, a new cut by the Raconteurs followed by Led Zeppelin’s “The Ocean.” A quick check of yes.com shows the station playing AC/DC, the Lemonheads, the Clash, Fall Out Boy, Vampire Weekend and the Cars. It almost looks like a blend of both Dave and Rock 100.5.
Fram ran 99X from its inception in 1992 to its on-air death earlier this year. (A version of 99X remains on line without her.) She was also part of the morning show the entire 15-plus years in its various incarnations. I haven’t heard if she’ll be doing on-air stuff with RXP.
More info to come.
