Think you can do the job? Eagan, in an email, wrote: "We have posted an opening to find a new co-host to join Tad Lemire mornings on B98.5.  It went out to industry trades this morning."

Here's the posting.

And here's a summary of the needs:

Jeff Dauler, her former Bert Show colleague now at Star 94.1, posted an item on Facebook later that day:

I know Jenn and I are going to get questions about working with Melissa again. And that is not something anyone can address for a while. Melissa has a non-compete provision in her contract that means we can't even have a conversation about that for several months at the soonest.

But I would like to invite anyone looking for a new morning show home because of this change to spend some time with the Jeff and Jenn Show. We'd love to entertain you as you start your day.

B98.5 and The Atlanta Journal-Constitution are both part of Cox Media Group.
