Two Atlantic City Radio Stations Dump Their Longtime Morning Shows

It's not us. It's not any of us. Actually, it's some of our competitors.

Still, it's sad.

Being in the business of radio, it's always heartbreaking to see colleagues being let go.

What Happened to Mike and Diane and Scotty and JoJo?

There hasn't been any kind of official announcement, but all signs point to the departures of the long-time morning shows for WAYV and WZXL. Both stations are owned by iHeart.

Both morning shows have been removed from the radio stations' websites, and they are not on the air today. We know that Jo Jo and Scotty have posted on Facebook about being fired.

Their terminations appear to be a part of a large-scale move by iHeart to release local personnel in a number of cities nationwide.

What does this mean? It means both radio stations will probably no longer have actual local people doing local radio.
