Hot 97 Fires Miss Jones

June 28th, 2008

Tarsha Jones

 New York radio station Hot 97 has fired morning drive talk show host Tarsha Jones (Miss Jones) and replaced her with radio personality Big Boy and MTV Entertainment reporter Luscious Liz Hernandez. “Big Boy has an unmatched reputation for being entertaining… he also has great relationships with artists,” said Hot 97 programming director Ebro Darden. “Putting Big Boy on Hot 97 in New York City helps keep the high standard of radio happening for us.”  According to Darden, Miss Jones will work all of next week which will allow her enough time to  bid farewell to her listeners. “Miss Jones is one of the hardest working radio people I have ever seen and she made history with Hot 97,” said Darden. “Miss Jones will have the mic in mornings all of next week so that she is given her proper respect to tell her listeners how much she appreciates them and reminisce about how great this program has been.” Miss Jones was recently named in a federal lawsuit filed by New York lawyer Kevin Hunter. It claimed rival radio personality Wendy Williams and her husband tried to hire a hitman to knock her off.

Even though I’ve only heard snippets of Miss Jones’ show via podcast, I seriously doubt Big Boy will be able to pull in the ratings in NYC. Hot 97 IS NOT Power 106!!!!

Once again I wish that the writers of articles on this website would complete their stories. Why did “Miss Jones” get fired? Why was the federal lawsuit named as a reason behind her firing in this article? What is HOT 97 trying to gain by replacing her time slot with another DJ if she still has such a following that she requires time to let her fans down?

And people wonder why CNBC and MSNBC are among the leaders in reporting…possibly because they went to college to learn how to write a clear story!

Oh no…
Even DJ Envy and Michael Shawn will be gone? I’ll give the new show a shot but I don’t know. I might go back to reading my books again.
