 The Morning Hustle |
The New Year will bring new programming to Radio One/Atlanta as the company announced a new lineup for mornings, starting January 11, 2021. "The Rickey Smiley Morning Show" now heard daily on WHTA-FM (Hot 107.9) will move to W275BK (Classix 102.9).
"When Tom Joyner retired, the Rickey Smiley Morning Show replaced many of the affiliates across the country," said Operations Manager Derek Harper. "As the show continued to grow and mature, it made sense to now move it to Classix 102.9, along with Niecey Shaw and The DL Hugley show, and the best Classix R&B in the ATL."
Hot 107.9, which is celebrating 25 years as a mainstream Hip Hop station, will now be the home of "The Morning Hustle," anchored by Headkrack, along with Lore'l, Angie Ange and Billy Sorrells.
"Many of our Hot listeners already know Headkrack from his years on the Rickey Smiley Morning Show, Dish Nation or have listened to the show already across the country," said Regional Vice President/GM Tim Davies, "and since we produce and broadcast The Morning Hustle from Atlanta, it is a perfect fit."
