WSB-FM B98.5 is seeking a new morning show with the pending
departure of Vikki Locke and Kelly Stevens. The final show will air June 21 for Locke with Stevens going
solo until June 28.
Locke, according to Rodney Ho at ajc.com, plans to spend
more time with an ailing father in Ohio
and start her own media training/consulting/PR company.
“I thank Atlanta
for making a Buckeye feel like a Southerner for the last 25 years,” Locke said
in the press release. “After years of waking up at 3 a.m., I’m excited about
starting this new chapter.”
Locke has been with B98.5 the past five years after a
19-year stint with Star 94. She was paired with Steve McCoy as a highly
successful duo most of that time until 2010, when B98.5 replaced McCoy with
Stevens.

This is Stevens' second stint with B98.5. Stevens was part
of a long-time morning team on B98.5 with Alpha Trivette. Stevens, who was severely injured last year
in a wrong-way car accident but survived, couldn't be reached for comment.
The station is ranked No. 4 in the market, tops among pop
stations and No. 1 during mid-days. The Vikki and Kelly morning show in May
Arbitrons ranked seventh overall.
A nationwide search for a new morning show begins
immediately, said Chris Eagan, the program director.
