7/4: Cledus T. Judd is engaged, Jamie Massey leaving for Phoenix
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
That’s Cledus and Jamie Massey on the first day on the Bull back in January.
For 94.9/The Bull’s Cledus T. Judd, hopefully the fourth time’s a charm.
The thrice married/thrice divorced singer/morning host met a massage therapist (the legitimate kind) while recuperating a few weeks back from a softball injury and fell in love.
“I”m off the market,” he said to me in an exclusive interview. “The first time I kissed her, I knew that was the girl for me. I fell about as hard for her as anybody in my life.” He plans to tell the radio listeners of 94.9/The Bull on Monday.
The marriage date is none too soon: July 18. Honeymoon: Destin, Florida. The gorgeous blonde’s name is Amy Cameron, 32, from Cledus’ hometown of Cartersville. “I’m going to give it a shot,” he said.
In other Bull news, for all you fans of Jamie Massey, she’s not only leaving town, but she’s taken, too. Massey, formerly of Star 94 and Q100 and a morning co-host with Judd since January, decided to follow her heart and move to Phoenix, where she has a boyfriend.
There, she’ll join a sister Clear Channel country station KNIX-FM, where she’ll work part time while also teaching horseback riding. Her boyfriend, Chad Jennings, is an Air Force fighter pilot. (And yes, that does sound like the name for a fighter pilot, eh?) Massey, who has lived here all her life, said her friends are upset but her family is supportive because they like the man.
She met him on an airplane flight in January. He was connecting to Philly from Phoenix and she was flying up to visit a friend there.
For the past few months, they’ve been flying back and forth but she felt it was time to just go for it. “It’s a little scary but I’m excited, too,” she said. “If I didn’t do it, I’d always wonder.”
Massey is bringing her horse Demure with her but she anticipates Demure won’t be too pleased with the 110 degree temps. “He’s going to freak out,” she said.
Her final day is July 18 on air. Cledus and Clear Channel. the station owners, are going to have to find another sidekick on top of Slam Duncan for him, probably another gal. (Kristen Gates is a major possiblity.)

7/3: Rush Limbaugh gets $400 million contract
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Rush Limbaugh, the king of talk radio, will remain so at least through 2016.
The radio personality, heard locally on 640/WGST-AM, told the New York Times he will be making $38 million a year for eight years, plus a $100 million signing bonus from Premiere Radio Networks, his syndicator.
He’s heard on 600 stations, with at least 14 million weekly listeners, according to Talkers Magazine.
Is he worth it? Obviously, he generates a huge amount of money for Premiere and is the highest rated show on GST. You can catch him from noon to 3 p.m. weekdays.
