Just got the following message from a fan in Colorado: Hey all, I got an email earlier this evening that my 99.9 radio in Colorado Springs has NOT renewed the contracts of Darren and Coba. They were the morning show DJs. I would like to know where they are going. Also, George McFly seems to be MIA (DJMoves: That was short-lived). He was the late afternoon/early evening DJ.http://www.djmoves.com/2008/05/darren-and-coba-out.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (First Boat)tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18288933.post-3734021572336099414Thu, 07 Feb 2008 11:24:00 +00002008-02-07T09:31:42.871-05:00I use to listen to 947 wmas in Springfield and one day I notice that their morning man and PD was no longer there no word as to why a even a hint that he was going now a younger boring man on the scene any idea where Paul Boom Boom cannon might be?

Ken Matthews spent 15 years at B104 in Allentown, PA, where he was the morning host until his plug was prematurely pulled back in '06. (Damn, I can't believe DJMoves has been around that long!)

All staff allegedly fired, and format allegedly flipped. And, as usual, no notice given to you - the fans who tuned in this morning expecting to hear familiar voices live on the air.

Whoopi must be devoting all her time to her later-in-the-day day-job on the view. Melissa verifies it herself on her personality page on the station's website: This morning was our first day back on the air... Can't wait to wake up with you from 5:30- 8:30am and then take you home from 4-7p!!! Eeegads!

Rumor has it that the station will unveil a completely new lineup this Friday, October 5th at 5 O'Clock. It just doesn't make sense - doesn't sound like they planned it at all.

I suspect that his instinct to get out "before listeners grew tired of him" was kind, but what's the real story? Does a man work for the same station - or any company - for that long and just decide to quit?

Then why did she disappear from her popular morning show gig and start clacking for Jack-FM? As the kinks sang in Around the Dial, "it couldn't be the ratings, you had the best in town". Latest word is that she is no longer even working on the soul-less Jack-FM. Amy G wrote...

In fact, in the world of denial-media, since nobody is saying that he's NOT coming back, I almost can't believe that he's really coming back. However, let's face it. IMUS really is coming back. I've listened to IMUS for years, and the man is not too bad at being self-effacing and apologetic when need be.

Now, the oldies format is back on WCBS FM 101.1. I guess all the oldies DJs were just dicking around for two years.
