I know some folks who are going to love this news. The infamous Miss Jones of “Jonesy” in the Morning is over and done with NY’s Hot 97 station as of July 21st. And she’s being replaced by Big Boy and his “Neighborhood” crew. In a press release sent out to select media on Friday, here’s the statement given in regards to the morning show change up:
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.”
Rumors are swirling that she was fired because she messed with the wrong person this time around and people aren’t trying to put up with her foolishness, ignorant comments/actions on air, and smartassness anymore. Other rumors say she left on her own because she wants to spend more time with her kids. And still, other rumors say she’s moving over to Philly’s Power 99. Whatev. Congrats to Big Boy!
