12/18: Yogi leaving Viva 105.7
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Yogi (Juan Tapia), one half of the Viva 105.7 morning team, is leaving the station at the end of the week. His attorney Jamie Hernan said he just “needed a change in environment.”
Yogi & Panda filed a civil lawsuit against the Regular Guys and their employer Clear Channel for invasion of privacy in October after Larry Wachs of 96rock’s the Regular Guys taped their conversation in a public restroom and aired it. But they dropped the lawsuit to go after Wachs in criminal court, a case that is still pending. The Regular Guys were subsequently fired.
They’d been together four or five years, including time in Los Angeles. But they have now decided t o go their separate ways, Hernan said. “Yogi isn’t comfortable being there but Panda is sticking it out,” Hernan said. Yogi is going to a Dallas Hispanic station, he added. I’m going to try to talk to Yogi later today.

What happened to 94.9 Lite FM. I’ve been listening to Peach for 21 years and love it. I go to lunch today and get back and they’re playing country??? Where are Randy & Spiff and Jessica going? Isn’t there enough country trash on the radio - what about those of us 40+ who like soft rock - I guess B98.5 has a lot of new listeners as of today!!!

I agree - what happened to soft rock 94.9 - where are Randy & Spiff? This was a great station for us baby boomers. I also changed over to 98.5 as soon as I heard the country music. I will miss the Christmas Music they were carrying as well as the good Oldies.

This move by Yogi back to Dallas is a pre-emptive decision. He knows the crack down on illegals that is catching fire all through the country will be here in Atlanta soon. Once that happens, his audience would have dwindled to miniscule proportions and he would have been fired and probably deported. It’s only a matter of time before that other rotund cockroach is out of here too. Adios Mofos!

Don’t let the door hit you on the way out- on second thought- I wish it would.

This has to be the heaviest moringing team ever. Three of them look like they are one burrito way from an explosion. Guys, take the stairs every once in a while.

Good Riddance you FAT Mexican B*******! Go back to Mexico and tell the RAZA to stay there. ENGLISH rules in the USA and we don’t NEED you! I’ll bet not one in the picture speaks credible English. Clear Channel-YOU SUCK! you fired the wrong people. You’ve chosen the Anti American side-go back to Dallas and stop screwing up Atlanta Radio.
