Atlanta Radio: Cindy Simmons OUT At WSTR

Drex, Cassiday

Star 94 morning host Cindy Simmons, who started at the station in 2003 as an afternoon host with Ray Mariner and moved to mornings in 2009, has been let go in favor of a brand new morning show consisting of two Charlotte personalities and a third from Philadelphia.

Drex and Cassiday are exiting Beasley Broadcasting's Top40 WNKS 95.1 FM Kiss in Charlotte for Lincoln Fincancial's (soon to be Entercom) HotAC WSTR 94.1 FM Star94 for a 5:30 to 9am morning show. (Apparently Drex's cohost Maney will remain in Charlotte.)
