12/2: Former 99Xers Fred Toucher, Rich Shertenlieb, Crash Clark get morning gig in Boston
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
After 2.5 years in Boston at WBCN-FM in the afternoons, former 99Xers Fred Toucher, Rich Shertenlieb and Crash Clark have been rewarded with the morning show after syndicated Opie & Anthony were dumped.
“I’m completely surprised,” Toucher said by phone Monday. He noted the show is No. 2 in Boston among me 18 to 44. He noted that he’s loving Boston and the audience and “We get to do the show we couldn’t do in Atlanta.” The morning show starts Tuesday from 6 to 10 a.m.
Congrats guys. Atlanta isn’t quite the same without y’all. (Toucher spent several years at 99X, including 2.5 years as morning host. Shertenlieb worked a bunch of years there, too. Crash was there more than a decade.)
-Glenn Beck will debut on Fox News January 19 at 5 p.m., just in time for the new presidency. He is also heard locally from 9 to noon at WGST-AM and made a name for himself at CNN Headline News for a couple of years.
-Danielle Knox is the new weekend anchor at WGCL-TV, replacing Mike Moore, who is now a full-time reporter. Knox has worked in Monroe, La., Hartford, Ct. and south Florida. She also co-hosts “The Balancing Act,” a Lifetime Television weekday morning show which focuses on women’s issues. The show airs every day at 7 a.m. right before Atlanta-based “Get Married.”
