The infamous Miss Jones of “Jonesy” in the Morning is over and done with NY’s Hot 97 station as of July 21st. According to a press release, Jones is being replaced by Big Boy and his “Neighborhood” crew:
On Monday, July 21, Emmis rhythmic WQHT (Hot 97)/New York will make a rare move in morning drive. Current morning show “Miss Jones in the Morning” will be replaced by current Hot 97 part-time on-air personalities Cipha Sounds and Peter Rosenberg (5-7 a.m.) and ABC Radio Networks’ “Big Boy’s Neighborhood” (7-10 a.m.).
Cipha Sounds and Peter Rosenberg have spent several months on-air together hosting a morning show from 8-10 a.m. on Saturdays and Sundays, and they have also worked on-air at Hot 97 separately. About the upgrade to a.m. drive, Rosenberg says, “Mom will be proud. It is every Jewish mother’s dream to have her son do mornings on Hot 97.” Cipha Sounds, who also hosts “The Cipha Sounds Effect w/Angela Yee” weekday mornings from 8 a.m.-noon on Sirius’ Shade 45, added, “This sounds cool to me.”
About the addition of the “Neighborhood,” PD Ebro Darden says, “Big Boy has an unmatched reputation for being entertaining. He also has great relationships with artists. Putting Big Boy on Hot 97 in New York City helps keep the high standard of radio happening for us.”
No reports have surfaced detailing whether she was put out and left on her own. Either, deuces to this chick! She was way too negative.
