“We are super excited to welcome Rickey back home to 95.7
Jamz,” said David DuBose, executive vice president of Summit Media. “Rickey
started his radio career here in Birmingham with us and we know listeners will
love hearing Bernice, Lil Darryl, Granny and his entire cast of characters as

“I’m really excited about helping to take it to another
level with David Dubose and team,” he said in a statement. “The Rickey Smiley
Morning Show team will be heavily involved in all things Birmingham .”
The "Magic City Morning Show” aired for the last time
Friday morning. It was the last local morning show in the city’s urban radio
market. It began airing in September after comedian Roy Wood Jr.’s departure
from the station.
We don't like the new radio show and haven't listened to it for a week hoping our people would be back on! But no such luck as of this morning!
