Kristi Leigh OUT At WMMX Dayton, OH

Kristi Leigh
Kristi Leigh, formerly with the Mix Morning Show on WMMX Mix 107.7 FM, is no longer listed on the station’s Web site as a DJ for the morning show, and loyal listeners are crying out on the station’s Facebook page in anger that she was let go.

Leigh had been with the station more than 20 years, according to a story at bizjournals.com

Clear Channel hasn’t commented.

However, many listeners have on Facebook.  A sampling….
  • Clear Channell = Pathetic!! Hopefully The Fly will pick her up. I am switching stations and will follow Kristi for the next 20 years!!
  • Once again "Corporate" screws up big time. I think they will see a huge hit in ratings - She was a icon in the Dayton area and had many loyal fans. BOO on Clear Channel!
  • MIX 107.7 will NOT be the same without Kristi!!! So sad she is gone. (Love Jeff & Dave, too) but the mornings won't be the same. Listening to Kristi & Jeff in the mornings made me laugh to hysterics - I knew they would bring me up if I was feeling down. Besides playing music - the personal interactions between the on-air personalities is a BIG reason why I listen to certain stations - and the banter between Jeff & Kristi made MIX 107.7 the popular station it has become over the years. I thought the goal of radio station executives was to draw listeners TO their stations - not drive them away!! I guess I am missing something. This is just another example of upper management just NOT getting it. Whoever was responsible for letting Kristi go - I hope you soon regret your decision. Good Luck with your future Kristi - you deserve it!!
Kristi Leigh observed her 20th year anniversary in 2011.
