8/2: Raven-Symone at local Wal-Mart Sunday, new pop culture radio show
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Seeking face time with a big TV star with Atlanta ties this Sunday?
Wal-Mart is hosting The Disney Channel star and Atlanta native Raven-Symoné. The tween sensation will be signing copies of her new DVD titled “Raven-Symoné Presents.” The video contains lifestyle and “how-to” entertainment for the tween and teen audience. She has a Web site with similar aspects here.
Her show “That’s So Raven,” wrapped a couple years ago but still airs on occasion on the Disney Channel. Since then she has starred in “Cheetah Girls 2” and “College Road Trip.” Her most recent self-named album hasn’t done particular well and she parted ways from Hollywood Records.
She will be at Wal-Mart Supercenter at 1801 Howell Mill Road at 2 p.m. Sunday.
-AJC freelancer Jon Waterhouse has launched an Atlanta pop culture show on 1690/WMLB-AM on Fridays at 8 p.m., repeated at noon Saturday.
Waterhouse dubbed his show “an Atlanta-centric version of ‘This American Life.’ ” He looks at pop culture topics in Atlanta and beyond with music related to that topic. His first show last week focused on the Center for Puppetry Arts and its connection to the Muppets. He played music by artists who appeared on the show and interviewed a Muppeteer. Tonight, he celebrates the 80th anniversary of the Varsity by interviewing a family member and playing rockabilly music. Down the road, he’ll highlight events such as Folk Fest, DragonCon and Drive-Invasion. Sounds eclectic enough to fit on WLMB-AM.
-Just got the 2 Live Stews ratings numbers for men 25-54. From 1 to 4 p.m., the Stews beat 680/The Fan’s mix of Mike Tirico from ESPN and Buck & Kincade 3.6 share to 3.1 share. The Afternoon Saloon from 4 to 7 had a 3.9 (up from 2.5 in the winter) vs. Buck & Kincade’s still commanding 4.7 (down from 5.3 in the winter).

I took my son and daughter and I believe the event was as very orderly. Raven has been a very good role model for young girls. She saw my daughter before she started signing autographs and waved at her. She made my 5 year old daughter’s day. With all the hoopla some of the other girls Raven’s age have been in, it is a breath of fresh air to have some one like her. I wish her much continued success.

I love Raven!! I think she is a very good role model for young girls!! I’m 17 and I finally got to go to her concert and it was amazing!!! The I like most about Raven is that she isn’t stick thin like all the other stars out there!!! I’m not saying she’s fat because she’s not!!! I think it’s important for girls to look at her and not feel like they have to be so skinny!!! Raven is a very very good amazing role model for us!!! She seems to be really sweet and out going and I think that is awesome!!!
