Radio-One is shuffling its Atlanta morning shows to start 2021.
One year after moving nationally from mostly Hip Hop stations to Adult R&B to succeed Tom Joyner, The Rickey Smiley Morning Show will do the same in Atlanta as it moves from “Hot 107.9” WHTA Hampton to R&B Oldies “Classix 102.9” W275BK Decatur/97.5 WUMJ-HD2.
Replacing Smiley on WHTA will be Radio One’s Reach Media syndicated “The Morning Hustle” anchored by former Smiley co-host Headkrack plus Lore’l, Angie Ange and Billy Sorrells. “Hot 107.9” was the only Radio-One Hip Hop station not carrying the show in mornings.
Losing Atlanta market clearance with the changes will be Reach Media’s Russ Parr Show. The changes will take effect on Monday, January 11.
