Boston Radio: Baltazar OUT, 'Wiggy' IN At Hot 96-9 FM

Jermaine Wiggins
Greater Media announces former NFL Player and Sports Personality Jermaine “Wiggy” Wiggins has joined the WBQT 96.9 FM HOT 96-9 “GetUp Crew” in Boston.

His first day on the morning show will be Tuesday, August 19.

Melissa, who has been hosting middays on Hot 96.9 since the station’s inception, will also be joining the morning team. Boston’s most beloved female radio personality, Pebbles, will continue to anchor the show.

Wiggins most recently appeared on WBZ 98.5 FM The Sports Hub in Boston, where he garnered new fame as “the man with an opinion on everything”, both inside and outside the sports world. In addition, he has served as an NFL analyst and has worked in other positions at Boston sports media outlets including Comcast SportsNet New England, WBZ- TV, WHDH-TV, New England Sports Network and the Kraft Sports Production show entitled “Patriots This Week”.

“Morning shows are built to excel when the personalities are live, local, and make a connection with their marketplace,” said Cadillac Jack, Director of Programming at Greater Media Boston. “The deep and real footprint that Pebbles, Melissa and Wiggy each already have individually in Boston make the GetUp Crew an unbeatable team and the start of another great chapter in HOT 96.9’s success story.”

“Melissa and I have worked together for years, and I’m excited to have her back on the morning team,” said Pebbles. “I’ve also had the pleasure to get to know Wiggy over the past few weeks and I can assure you – we couldn’t be more different! It’s going to be entertaining!”

“I am super excited to be working with Pebbles and Melissa, as well as everyone else at HOT 96.9,” said Wiggins. “I can’t wait to do my part to help the Hot 96.9 morning show continue to be one of the hottest shows in Boston.”

WBQT 96.9 FM (22.5Kw) 54dBu Coverage
Exiting the station is Baltazar.  Baltazar, whose last day was this past Wednesday, was sent packing after the station decided “to go in a different direction,” said spox Heidi Raphael.

“We’re grateful for his contributions to the show,” she added.

  1. Your new lineup is not as entertaining. Three hosts in the morning is very cumbersome! All my 96.9 friends are now surfing for a new station with pizzazz!

  2. New lineup is boring! Low on entertainment! Wiggy although nice is an odd fit.

  3. I do not like the new morning crew. My car radio has been on the 96.9 station since it came on with Pebbles & Baltzar, what direction are you trying to go? I think i will also be looking for another station

  4. Wiggin sucks I don't like the morning show at all. Baltzar was better then this guy... and he is a nobody washed out Pats player that a joke....Will Pebbles and Melissa will be next and we'll have another Ashlee with 2 EEEE

  5. Pat's Player now radio personality right not!!!! he's not funny at all and ask a question of anything yesterday what so stupid time to look from a different channel to listen too....

    ReplyDelete
  6. The station should of stuck with Baltzar. They are a better duo. No need for a third member either as much as Pebbles and Melissa mesh it because too much with 3. I was excited about this station when I found it. The music choices are still better than Jam'n but they are making the same mistake but going in another direction.

  7. Bring back Baltazar! Wiggy has nothing to offer but insider stuff on Pats games. He just doesn't fit. And what no more "ball buster". Time for a new station. :(

    ReplyDelete
  8. "Going another way" bad move. Baltzar was the man in that station, management should b change instead of Baltzar. Radio station now sucks in the morning.

    ReplyDelete
  9. The wiggins guy sucks! Baltazar made the show, especially with the ball busters. I'll be switching stations! Bad move 96.9!!!

  16. Hello - I keep listening everyday, wondering where the heck is Baltazar? The crazy laugh and personality, I miss it. So I went to Google to search what may have happened. Bad news, Balt is gone! What, what!? I didn't think the music was all that great, playing the same ole throw backs all the time, but no Baltazar, is really bad news! I hope you all enjoy listening to yourselves, cuz I'm out Hot 96.9 - Pandora here I come.

    ReplyDelete
  17. Very disappointed. Evidently, they fired the very thing that made the morning show work, because the new show is not nearly as entertaining and motivating as when he and Pebbles were together. If they really wanted to go in a different direction, they should have tried expanding their very limited playlist. Stop playing the same 10 throwbacks, add a good hundred more to their repertoire, and bring Baltazar back. Til then, you just lost one.

    ReplyDelete
  18. I loved it years ago when it was Baltazar and Pebbles on 94.5, when I heard they were back together, I was thrilled. I thought Baltazar might have been on vacation except it was too long, today I did a google search and saw that you let him go. I don't enjoy the show anymore. Wiggy seems like a nice guy but he ain't Baltazar, very disappointed.

    ReplyDelete
  19. Disappointed that Baltizar is out. Bring him back. Move Wiggly to Ten.

  20. THE SHOW SUCK 96.9 GET BAITAZAR BACK.DONT DO WHAT 94.5 JAM DID TO PEBBLES AM CALLING 96.9 TO COMPLAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  22. Sooooo upset.. #terrible .. went on vacation came back to think Balt was on vacation as well.. to than find out his gone??? Wtf??? #nobueno.. Pandora, Ramiro and Ashley here I come..

    ReplyDelete
  23. Strike 2 with Baltazar, Upper management has NO clue for the second time. If it is not broke don't fix it

    ReplyDelete
  24. Gave it a chance. Don't like the new line-up. Baltazar/Pebbles was much more entertaining. Now it's labored. Not what I want to hear on my commute. Moving on to a new station.

    ReplyDelete
  25. All I have to say is bad move. I guess 106.7 in the morning is the next best thing. Saying bring back Balthazar is a waste of time so I guess gospel music will be it. Not the same all

    ReplyDelete
  26. I agree with everyone here. My car radio had been stuck on 96.9 since you came back with Baltazar and Pebbles. Now not so much. New morning segments like 2nd date and freaky fridays?! Seriously?!!! Not entertaining, not worth listening to...

    ReplyDelete
  27. Been listening to Pandora now. Baltazar was much better, not saying wiggy isn't cool but it was so much better the other way. Pebbles Melissa and baltazar would have been a much more entertaining crew!

    ReplyDelete
  28. Miss baltazar, Looking for a new station till he comes back.

    ReplyDelete
  29. I thought this new line up was a fill-in while Baltazar is perhaps on vacation or something. Sorry, but not feeling it.

    ReplyDelete
  30. I did the same thing many others did and finally Googled what happened to poor Baltazar. Just like that, he was gone. Not dissin Wiggy, but come on people. WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING? I always listened to 94.5 with Pebbles and Ramiro, but once Pebbles left, so did I. Ecstatic to have found 96.9 with Pebbles and Baltazar as a team once again, and you do the same damn thing. You guys really, really messed this one up bad. When will you learn?? Time to say goodbye...again.

    ReplyDelete
  31. I don't listen to much common radio as I have a paid subscription to Spotify but the one station that I loved in the morning was 96.9 Baltazar & Pebbles. I think Wiggy is a knucklehead and not very entertaining at all. His opinions about everything are stupid and I hate the 3 personality equation with 2 females and then his dumbass. This just doesn't work, I think you will see a huge decline in listeners as is indicated by these comments. Not one person has said they loved this format.... the listeners are who pays the bills, not the radio personalities.

    ReplyDelete
  32. No Baltazar, no more 96.9 for me. I have moved on to 106.7 !!!!

    ReplyDelete
  33. Iagree with most of what people are saying. Not necessary to bash new guy. Should have left things the way they were. Don't like new set up.

    ReplyDelete
  34. Dumb move management at Hot 96.9 boston. Ya'll got rid of the best part of the morning show. Take away the threef stooges and bring back Baltazar. Will be moving on to a different station.

    ReplyDelete
  35. I finally googled what happened to Balthazar and I'm very disappointed. I'm not entertained at all love pebbles and Melissa but it was perfect with Balthazar. Time to find another station again. Smh same mistake 94.5 made

    ReplyDelete
  36. I hate it my morning are not the same with out the ball busters

    ReplyDelete
  37. Management there sucks. Baltazar made the morning show

    ReplyDelete
  38. No More Baltazar, definetly no more 96.9!!!! Its time to go back to Jamn 94.5 wit my boy Romero!!! C-Ya the f*** later 96.9!!!

    ReplyDelete
  39. this new morning crew has the personality of a door knob. Pebbles is cool, but Balthazar made the show. Now there are no more Baltbusters and you have removed all the old archived recordings from your website. That's 2 bad managerial decisions. I don't know what research you all did to make you think gettilng rid of balthazar would increase ratings, but you obviously aren't in tune with you listeners.

    ReplyDelete
  40. First 94.5 drops Baltazar and now 96.9 does the same thing!! Bad move. I'll find a new station and wait until Baltazar shows up somewhere on a new hot station.

    ReplyDelete
  41. Bad move 96.9. Baltazar was much better then "Wiggy" will ever be. Baltazar belongs in Boston on the radio in the morning. I hope he catches on with a different station in town and blows 96.9 out of the water.

    ReplyDelete
  42. bad move 96.9 for getting rid of Baltazar you going to lose a lot of customers behind this bring back Baltazar and your ratings should go backup.

    ReplyDelete
  43. Dumb move. He was the reason I listened to 96.9

    ReplyDelete
  44. I just Googled what happened to Baltazar because I too, thought he went on vacation. I agree with everyone, I will be going in a different direction myself.

    94.5 FM sucked after Baltazar and Pebbles left and I was SO excited to have them back.

    Balt Busters were the best part of my mornings. Looked forward to them on my way to work everyday. If I missed it I would stream the station at work just to catch it.

    If you need help with song selections please contact me and I will help you out. There are WAY more than just 10 throwback songs you can play on the radio. When I heard 96.9 was going to be a throwback station I was SO excited because we have more than 20 years of HOT ass jams we can be playing on a reg without getting stale. But I was wrong. And management is WRONG for letting Baltazar go. If I were you I would double his pay and BEG him to come back to the show!

    In case you missed it 96.9 is not a sports station. SO who gives a crap about bringing a football "insider" to a funny morning show?

    With that said, 93.3 FM here I come! :(

    ReplyDelete
  45. I'm upset to see that 96.9 decided to let Baltazar go. I agree with everyone that the radio station made a bad move. I am moving to pandora for my music and entertainment.

    ReplyDelete
  46. Although I felt as though 96.9 mimicked that other station, I had much rather listen to Baltazar and Pebbles than Ramiro. The mornings are not the same without Baltazar. I find myself switching from one station to the next every morning. I was like everyone else who thought Baltazar was on vacation. To find out they decided to get rid of him is just sad. I don't know him personally but to think they had someone pick up and move back to a city they love just to be gone a year or so later was so wrong. I'm sure Baltazar will do great wherever he ends up. I'm no longer feeling 96.9 morning show and they need to do away with what you doing at the courthouse. That is the most ridiculous thing I've heard.

    ReplyDelete
  47. Not a fan! but I guess wiggy is younger and able to still party. BUT a great add to the station should be DJ Anthem. Plus I think the station is looking at the big picture. In 5 years Baltazar will be a old man and I wouldn't be surprised if Melissa takes pebbles place.

    ReplyDelete
  48. So sounds like someone had an "in" with "wiggy". And pitched it to upper management who thought it would be a good idea. As usual, wrong again management. I gave it a shot and nearly fell asleep at the wheel. Good luck 96.9, way to screw someone sideways..

    ReplyDelete
  49. NO BALTAZAR?!.... SERIOUSLY?!.. I DIDNT LISTEN TO THE STATION FOR A FEW DAYS BC OF VACATION, CAME BACK AND NOO BALTAZAR?? DUMB DUMB PEOPLE!!! THAT CRAZY LAUGH AND PERSONALITY MIXED WITH PEBBLES WAS WHY I LISTENED TO THE SHOW........ TIME TO GO BACK TO 94.5 AND LISTEN TO ANNOYING ASHLEE WHO TRIES TO HARD.

    ReplyDelete
  50. Crazy all the comments and anger that clearly the ones who matter are feeling over this dumb switch up. Who decides to change something soo good that was just brought back to life. Why?? Who says adding football to a music station would be a good fit? Clearly they need new management and decision makers. Guess its back to playing cd's and iheart radio in the AM. Bad move, but I will NOT go back to 94.5 no matter how angry I am. SMDH

    ReplyDelete
  51. I AGREE WITH EVERYONE ON THIS BLOG!!!! LET ME KNOW WHEN YOU BRING BACK BALTAZAR!!! I'LL BE LOOKING FOR A NEW STATION UNTIL THEN!!!

    ReplyDelete
  52. Bye Bye hot 96.9! Baltazar made that morning show. This new guys brings no charisma or anything else for that matter to the show. I've switched back to my old station cause of this.

    ReplyDelete
  53. i want baltazar back tooooo

    ReplyDelete
  54. I agree with everyone I went on vacation when I came back I heard no Baltazar!!! WHAT?!! I loved tuning in and now I don't even want to listen....time to look for another station:(

    ReplyDelete
  55. Without Baltazar, this show just isn't the same.... its a shame. Wont be listening anymore.... its too slow now.. need something MUCH more upbeat in the AM.

    ReplyDelete
  56. DEFINITELY A HUGE WRONG MOVE! YOUR SUPPOSED TO MAKE US WANT TO LISTEN NOT MAKE US TURN THE STATION! I HATE 94.5 NOW I HATE 96.9.........BRING BACK THE REAL MAN BALTAZAR! WRONG MOVE PEOPLE!

    ReplyDelete
  57. I MISS BALTAZAR! I'm all set with radio stations...I think I'll look into Satellite Radio!

    ReplyDelete
  58. what happened to B???

    ReplyDelete
  59. I also thought he was on vacation. Bad decision management. That station sucks now specially in the morning. I agree with everyone else. Bring back Balthazar. Or better yet scree 96.9 and someone get him a new station. There plenty of available spots on FM.

    ReplyDelete
  60. 96.9 sucks without Baltazar, going back to 94.5 for a morning laugh

    ReplyDelete
  61. I miss Baltazar. Pebbles and Wiggy are so different its not entertaining its uncomfortable to listen to.

    ReplyDelete
  62. What was the point of getting rid of Baltazar?! Management needs to rethink their decision. Not as entertaining.:(

    ReplyDelete
  63. Baltazar & Pebbles was the main reason I listened to 96.9. I am so shock, so disappointed, so hurt. I used to look forward every morning listening to Balt and Pebbs on my drive from Mansfield, MA to Charlestown, MA and now, I have nothing, nothing at all. I am all cried out over this. I have moved on to another station. 96.9, you have lost a very loyal listener and shame on you. I wish Baltazar the very best!

    ReplyDelete
  64. Good Bye 96.9.
    I'm so not listening to to you anymore. que disgraciada!

  65. Baltazars crazy laugh though, i miss it!

  66. The new morning show just sucks without baltazar

    ReplyDelete
  67. It sounds like lots of people are not happy with the switch. I am not feeling the "new direction" either. I am not feeling the new Wiggy dude and I miss Baltizar.

    ReplyDelete
  68. sad to hear Balthazar has been let go. instantly noticed his absence, after not catching the morning show for a few weeks. not digging the new personality.

    ReplyDelete
  69. WOWWWW...i guess im gonna switching back to 94.5

    ReplyDelete
  70. I love you guy in the morning even with Wiggie :) Baltizar was good and he will be missed. The one thing I'm going to miss most is balt bustas. I like the second date update but it's as funny.

    ReplyDelete
  71. I am beyond upset. The only reason the show even took off was because of Baltazar and Pebbles together again. Everyone wanted to support Pebbles and that's what he did as well as all of us. And this is how he is rewarded? I dissed 94.5 and I am over 96.9 which by the way I listened to at work as well as in my car. Over it. Sketchy, stank and grimmey! Yank the knife out of his back for God sake.

    ReplyDelete
  72. I love baltazar, I hope another station hire him, sometimes the CEO don't really get. I dumped 94.5 because it was so boring, but now I was thinking, where is baltazar is he on vacation? then I read the blogs

    ReplyDelete
  73. I am disappointed in the choice to replace Baltazar. He brought a uniquenes to your morning show, and even after years of separation, the chemistry between he and Pebbles on air was SPOT.ON. It wasn't broke, so there was nothing to fix! Shame on you for getting us all hyped up and enjoying Baltazar's return, only to sweep the rug from under our feet. Sometimes you need to remember that the listeners will always have the last word! Shame on you!

    ReplyDelete
  74. Super bummed to find out he was let go from hot 96.9, I thought he and Pebbles were in it together for this new station! I agree I'm disappointed in her as well though not really surprised (she stayed with Jamn a long time after they gave him the boot too right?). I don't get it, the fans clearly love Baltizar why does he keep getting pushed out?? Did they really just bring him back to regain all former Jamn fans with the intention of kicking him out all along?? Shame shame... I'd much rather hear from him than this "Wiggy" person (who I gotta say I had no idea why he was of any importance until I looked this up...)

    ReplyDelete
  75. they did balazar wrong.....wow...Pebble just co-sign with it...damn...no more support from me....

    ReplyDelete
  76. right...agree 100%

  77. I'm very upset that Baltazar is gone, and his Balt Busters. Wiggy isn't that funny, not much energy. I miss Baltazar's laugh and his energy. Sending an e-mail to Heidi Raphael

    ReplyDelete
  78. Dam I just found out Baltazar was gone, I have nothing against wiggy but its clearly B had me going in the early am, this coming from a person that commutes a hour to work. I miss the Baltbusters and the sense of humor he had.. I would be cracking up in the car when he did them. Like everyone else Ill be using internet music from this time on. I doubt he will be back after being jolted twice by two stations he built up in the AM... I hope the best for you Baltazar. If anyone hears where he lands let me know Id toon in via internet radio to here that laugh and thos baltbuster.. Not a good move 96.9. how long will Pepples be their and I wonder if she had any imput on the daparture of the one that helped her succeed. ..

    ReplyDelete
  79. They just used him. I hate the stupid update about dates that did not work out. Agree we early morning commuters miss Baltazar.

    ReplyDelete
  80. I have not been driving. Started back driving on Tuesday. As usual turned to 96.9 as I usually do and no Baltazar. Thought he was on vacation. I hear this Wiggy person, who is totally ridiculous. I googled Baltazar and finds out he is gone. BAD, BAD, MOVE! Looking for another station.

    ReplyDelete
  81. So depressing. Now they have the second date update, which started out as unique and funny but now Melissa and wiggy are fighting for mic time and always making awkward jokes. I cringe, not because of all the awful dates but, because of the forced banter between wiggy and Melissa. None of it sounds natural and pebbles at this point is the only one who can get the caller to reply because Melissa and wiggy just think they're inside jokes are a good time for all. Balthazar understood his audience and his callers, this new crew isn't the best team.

    ReplyDelete
  82. I honestly cant believe you let baltazar go! I use to listen to him and pebbles years ago on 94.5 I was super stoked when I heard he was back with pebbles! Their show was great back then and recently but now it sucks! I like wiggy don't get me wrong but I like him better with felger and maz on 98.5 he's a sports guy not a morning show personality! bad bad move cadillac you should be ashamed, you had a great morning show when you brought baltazar and pebbles back together now its just plain BOOOOORRRRING!

    ReplyDelete
  83. Letting, Balthazar go was a STUPID ides. This, Wiggy character doesn't mesh. I've switched to my IPod in the morning instead of the mess that is going on now. Hire, Balthazar back!

    ReplyDelete
  84. Everyone is correct...the station is def not the same since balt left...which was the icing on the cake for me! Their music selection is crappy and the station has become a mimic of 94.5 "The best throwbacks" is definately a stretch we dont need to hear Ja Rule's always on time ever again!
    There are so many songs for throwbacks..maybe they should open up a questionaire segment to help them out...lol
    Balthazar is not coming back i seriously doubt it. So if your reading this b good luck man you are sorely missed!

    ReplyDelete
  85. WIGGITY WACK, BRING BALTAZAR BACK!

    The show is boring as hell now. Now I'm forced to listen to Ramiro

    ReplyDelete
  86. 96.9 management move was to increase their profit margin. Baltazar’s cost overhead got in the way of making more donuts. They brought him in just to prime the money pump only—and it worked.

    ReplyDelete
  87. Melissa and Wiggy should stay quiet during the 2nd date update.
    It's getting annoying and childish.

    ReplyDelete
  88. It's funny how they attracted us to HOT 96.9 by putting two of our favorites together back again and than kicking us in the face by removing Baltazar and adding Wiggy who I am sorry doesn't belong on the Radio.......love Melissa but she should have stayed where she was at in the afternoon!! No longer a listener, now AMP 103.3 is the station for me and the kids!!

    ReplyDelete
  89. I can't believe Baltazar is gone!! I don'the listen to the radio every morning.. I was just listening to 96.9 and realized I hadn't heard Baltazar in a while and Googled and stumbled upon this article. It was SO nice feeling like I was listening to the same station as when I was a teenager and now I'm so sad. I'm sure the new guy is fine, but Baltazar and Pebbles had such chemistry and them together again really went well with the whole "throwback" theme they seem to have going at 96.9. Please get him back!!

    ReplyDelete
  90. I can't believe Baltazar is gone...I was ecstatic when Baltazar and Peebles were reunited and listened faithfully every morning. His contagious laugh and balbusters made me laugh every morning while I was stuck in traffic. Their chemistry was amazing.
    I will no longer listen to your station there is too much going on and the new guy doesn't have the charisma Baltazar had. BRING HIM BACK!!!!!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  91. I don't like the get up crew either or the 2nd date update. They call people and laugh before they say who they are. I would hang up on them. Baltazar and Pebbles were much better.

    ReplyDelete
  92. I agree with everyone, I no longer listen to 96.9. I feel betrayed. Ever since Baltazaar left 94.5 I've been surfing the channels, when I heard Baltazar and Pepples were back together again, I told everyone. I was crushed when I found out he was gone. Now I don't listen to 96.9 anymore, I make my own CD's. I have an hour commute each way and listened to 96.9, and also at work, not anymore, who wants to listen to a dating service. Baltazar and Pebbles was 96.9, I guess you didn't get that.

    ReplyDelete
  93. Been listening to Baltazar and Pebbles for as long as they have been together. I recently moved to FL and listen to 96.9 on Tunein Radio. My husband and I thought Baltazar was on vacation or something but just found out is was "sent packing." DISLIKE!!!!!! the second date update is HORRIBLE!!! Guess I will have to find a new station down here. Really miss you Baltazar. Hope 96.9 realizes what they did was a BAD MOVE and you return.

    ReplyDelete
  94. Let's face it....The real problem is the music selection. I was excited to find a station to play the old school jams. However, they play the same songs over, and over Biggie, tupac. There are sooo many other songs that can be played. The morning show is not funny, or entertaining. I do like pebbles, and remember her from 94.5 days. Just play better music jams, or you will lose me too.

    ReplyDelete
  95. I been listing to Baltazar and Pebbles every since they started the morning show on JAMN94.5 and I though it was great then they let Baltazar go and Ramiro took over and the show was pretty good with Ramiro and Pebbles. Then one day I was listening and was like where is Pebbles and where is Melissa so I goggled it and read that they got let go by JAMN94.5 and are now on a new station Hot 96.9 which I liked very much because they had back together Baltazar and Pebbles. Then one day I was like what happened to Baltazar so goggled it found out he was let go and former New England Patriots player Jermaine Wiggins and Melissa would be joining the show. I been listening to it ever since and I don't mind them but totally think that they need to bring back Baltazar because the show is just got as good as it was with him there. The BallBusters were great and now we have something called the second date update totally not a fan of it and think that is a waste of air time. Now because they let Baltazar go I switch back and forth in the morning from Jamn94.5 to Hot96.9 because when certain things happen on one moring show it makes me switch to the other moring show how ever I seem to like Hot96.9 much better because they play tons of the old hits from the past as Jamn94.5 only seems to play todays new hits. One thing I would like to see changed is it seems that on Jamn94.5 they seem to play the same songs over and over and as I noticed Hot96.9 is doing the same. If you would try and play different old school songs though out the day and not the same songs every singe hour I believe your station will blow away Jamn94.5

  96. Please, please, please. We want Baltazar,how come our opinions are not taking into consideration?

  97. I switched from 94.5 to 96.9 because of Baltazar. Now he's out and so am I. Bad move!!!

    ReplyDelete
  98. I tried to keep listening but it just doesn't work. Baltazar was the show. The second date update sucks and the hosts just don't work well together. I hope the other direction 96.9 wanted to go in is off the air. Good bye 96.9. Can you say Sirius?

  99. I've stopped listening to HOT 96.9 simply because I cannot stand Wiggy's voice. I feel like he is TRYING to talk with an accent and his input on any topic is less than interesting.

  100. Baltazar was not great.......Wiggy is not much better! I went in with an open mind about Wiggy.....but...did not work out!!! Pebbles is not debating her equal on all things with him! I hate to say it, buy....... he is not so smart!!!

  101. Wiggy's voice is as annoying as the name 'Wiggy'. Like, 'Wiggedy wiggedy wiggedy' wack! I am really curious as to why the dj's only play a select few of throw backs. How does one find this info out? I wish I was more schooled in producing radio stations because I would put the BEST one this area has ever had into affect. All the stations around the Boston area, not just 96.9, repeat songs WAY too much and talk WAY too much in the mornings. Why?

  102. "Childish" is probably the most accurate word describing their morning show. When Amp can have a more adult-friendly morning show than them, then this is definitely not the right direction for them to take.

    I just don't see the appeal in this station anymore. It used to be an interesting mix of music, now it's just a gimmick with derivative music.

  103. I'm not impressed with the new add. Should have just kept Baltazar. So now that yall have screwed up, imo, just let Pebbles and Melissa be the morning show. It would be soo much better!

  105. This morning show lineup is the most boring crew on any radio station that ass into in the morning. You guys do the series bet which has already been done in Connecticut since I travel and I was going to the same bit you guys do it 2 or 3 days after Connecticut station does it what the f... this morning show crew is a big yawn ..
