Atlanta Radio: Jason Bailey OUT, Mike Bell IN At WZGC

Dukes and Bell

Morning host Jason Bailey is out and former WQXI 790 AM The Zone afternoon host Mike Bell is in at CBS Radio's WZGC 92.9 FM The Game, according to Rodney Ho at ajc.com.

Bell officially joins Carl Dukes and the show time has added an extra hour, ending at 7 p.m. instead of 6 p.m.

Bell -  who was on the Zone for 15 years  until it dumped local programming in May - has been under contract with the station until December, 2015.

His agent Norm Schrutt was able to convince Zone owner Lincoln Financial to let Bell out of his non-compete clause in exchange for not having to pay him fully for another 17-plus months.

“Lincoln was very fair,” Schrutt said. “It took awhile but it works out well.”
