6/30: Laura Ingraham back on the air
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
After 20 days “in the wilderness,” as she dubbed it, talk-show host Laura Ingraham was back on the radio this morning, heard from 9 to noon locally on 920/WGKA-AM. Her syndicator forced her off the air during contract negotiations. I’m not clear what is going on and neither does GKA program director Jeff Carter. Laura was not specific on the air about why she’s back.
-Steve & Vikki are under contract with Star 94 until midnight tonight. Starting at 12:01 a.m., they are part of B98.5’s payroll and you’ll be hearing them at 5 a.m., I fathom. My colleague Rich Eldredge will have some juicy info about them tomorrow. I’ll link to the story then as well as post a review of their first morning at B98.5 while most of their rivals are on vacation. (Eldredge has had a tight link with Vikki for years and broke the story of their departure about a year ago.).
-And a reminder to Tivo “America’s Got Talent” Tuesday night from 8 to 10 p.m. Atlanta is one of the audition cities so if you attended any of the auditions, you might see yourself on TV.
Plus, if you miss “7th Heaven,” executive producer Brenda Hampton has moved to ABC Family with her new show “The Secret Life of the American Teenager.” It’s a wee bit edgier, featuring a smart French horn teen who gets pregnant and tries to hide it, an arrogant sexaholic guy who impregnated her (but doesn’t know it yet), a beautiful Christian gal (no sex til marriage!) and a dweebish (dweebish in the TV sense is still cute and adorable in Real World sense) guy chases after the French horn gal. It debuts at 8 p.m. Tuesday and based on the first episode, isn’t half bad.
