Though they lost their gigs last month when 95.5/The Beat on the FM dial became a news/talk simulcast, morning hosts Murph Dawg & CJ Simpson have landed on their feet - as syndicated morning hosts.
According to CJ's Twitter feed this morning, as of Sept. 23 the pair will be heard on WHZT-FM/Hot 98.1 in Spartanburg, S.C., WHTI-FM/Hot 100.9 in Richmond, Va., WPUP-FM/Power 100.1 in Athens and www.955thebeat.com. It will also be available on the HD-2 channel on 97.1 for folks with HD radios.
Like I said before..."WHEN ONE DOOR CLOSES ANOTHER ONE OPENS!" Thank you Lord for my BLESSINGS
And the Athens station overlapped with the Beat coverage area so a decent percentage of their fans will continue to be able to hear them on the FM dial.
The Groove, as of this week, has dropped virtually all its 1970s and 1980s cuts and is barely playing anything before 2000. In other words, it has converted almost completely to a current-based dance-pop-hip-hop station to fill the gap that was left by the Beat.
Cox last month ended the Beat after 11 years and placed its news/talk AM property in a simulcast with 95.5, thus the name 750 AM and now 95.5FM News/Talk WSB.
