Larry Wachs and Eric Von Haessler have signed on for three more years with Rock 100.5. The pair have been together on and off as part of the "Regular Guys" radio team in Los Angeles and Atlanta for about 15 years.

I hear "Southside" Steve Rickman is still in talks but both sides expect a deal to be made. (Rickman has been part of the team for many years at 96rock but was only promoted to a true "Regular Guy" at Rock 100.5). Producer Tim Andrews, who also became an official "Regular Guy" after the Rock 100.5 version of the show started, has only been under contract for less than a year, but I believe he has no desire to go anywhere else anytime soon.

Gary Lewis, who is regional vice president for Cumulus Atlanta (which operates Rock 100.5 and Q100), said he is happy with his morning show and expects they'll be around awhile though he declined to be more specific.

Von Haessler was off today because of illness.
