5/21: On Dagmar Midcap, plus radio parties forthcoming
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
I’m working on a story about WGCL’s fetching weather forecaster Dagmar Midcap and would love folks’ input. Has anyone seen the billboards? If you are willing to go on the record with your name, email me at rho@ajc.com. Else, feel free to just comment here. Keep it clean, people!
Anyway, here are some upcoming radio events:
-First, next Friday May 30 from noon to 4 p.m., 95.5/The Beat is hosting a free “Meet the Beat” party at the Mall at Stonecrest. DJ Khaled will perform and all the Beat jocks will be there, including CJ and Murph Dawg from the mornings. They’ll be a custom car show, health screenings and kids activities. This is somewhat unusual because the Beat doesn’t normally spend much time promoting its jocks. Rather, it’s typically all about the music.
-Grown Folks 102.5 is holding a “One Night Stand” R&B concert this Saturday at Center Stage featuring Dwele, Lina, Nel Gourdin and Liv Warfield. “Grown Folks Radio brings the sexy!” is the tagline. Tix are $35 through Ticketmaster and $30 at the door.
-790/The Zone is hosting its 11th anniversary party at Candler Park. Drivin’ n Cryin’ perform at 7:30 and Blues Traveler at 9 p.m. Tix are $10 through May 25, $15 afterwards and $20 at the door. Tix can be purchased at www.ticketalternative.com
-Unrelated to parties, Holly Firfer, formerly of CNN and Dave FM and now co host of “Atlanta & Company,” is playing a TV reporter in an upcoming episode of Lifetime drama “Army Wives.”
-Finally, have people noticed that the Giant Brian morning show at Project 9-6-1 is now being given more time on the air to develop itself and get people to know them. The show also normally ends at 9 a.m. but the past couple of days, I’ve noticed them finishing up closer to 9:15 a.m. The show will need time as it faces off against the Regular Guys but for folks who are looking for an alternative, check Giant Brian and Shaffee out.
