Boston Radio: AMP Radio Sez Kiss 108 Stole Britney Interview

Not sure if you can call it a radio war if only one side is engaging, but WODS AMP Radio 103.3 FM is calling out Kiss 108 for stealing an interview with Britney Spears — and demanding reparations!

Here’s the deal according to Gayle Fee at The Boston Herald: Last week, AMP morning duo TJ Taormina and Loren Raye scored a little scoop when they interviewed Brits and the pop princess complained that there was too much sex in music videos.

On Monday, Billy Costa on Matt Siegel’s Kiss morning show played audio of Britney that was identical to AMP’s, but Costa said Spears had given the interview to Kiss afternoon guy Romeo.

This did not sit well with TJ, who has been ripping Kiss for supposedly ripping him off. And what really got TJ AMPed up is that Romeo’s interview with Britney is posted on the Kiss website and the clip Billy played clearly isn’t there.

“Matty over at Kiss 108 played our audio, which, God, that’s as flattering as can be, but gave their own radio station credit for it,” TJ said. “Listen Matty, if you want to use our audio, I’m honored. ... Just give us the credit for it.”

Taormina went on to say that he has a “massive amount of respect” for Siegel, then kind of gave him a little dig, adding, “That guy’s been on the radio here in Boston in morning drive for 30 years — that’s longer than I’ve been alive. ...”
