Steve McCoy shook off the rust Monday and returned to Atlanta FM radio for the first time in five years, courtesy of News Radio WYAY 106.7 FM.
According to Rodney Ho at The Atlanta Constituion, he was joined by Cheryl White on the new morning show. They shared their mutual love for “Star Trek” and White admitted she loves video games.
Stand-up legend Jeff Foxworthy, a neighbor and friend of McCoy’s for more than two decades, joined the show for a bit, talking about the durability of “You Might Be a Redneck” jokes and his doubts about technology.
Foxworthy’s kids had told him they can “Google” anything. But he said there are plenty of life lessons you can’t Google. So he has come up with the Facts of Life,” a new line of jokes/observations. For instance, “you can have a wife with long, beautiful hair or you can be on time. You can’t have both.”
Not surprisingly, McCoy’s day one on 106.7 had a few glitches, especially the first hour, with wrong clips coming on and clumsy hand offs.
He played clips from friends such as former Braves pitchers Phil Niekro and Tom Glavine and his Star 94 buddies Locke and Tom Sullivan. “Just wanted to say congratulations and I will be listening when I get up after 8 o’clock,” said Locke, who voluntarily left radio in 2013.
Governor Nathan Deal called in at 8:30 a.m. to welcome McCoy back as well.
