http://thacelebritea.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/tom.jpgIn a move that suggests preparing for life after Tom Joyner retires; The TJMS is moving to heritage AM radio station 1450 WOL in Washington, D.C. Russ Parr @RussParrShow is replacing him on Majic 102.3 (WMMJ) for morning drive. Meanwhile The FAM afternoon show on 92Q (WERQ) with Lil Mo and DJ Quicksilva will leave the Baltimore station and take over mornings on 93.3 WKYS. It all goes down on Tuesday, January 19, 2016.



http://pbs.twimg.com/media/CVfza75U4AA43dx.jpgRuss Parr’s weekend show, "On the Air" will continue on WKYS on Saturdays, 6-9 a.m. The Tom Joyner Morning Show @TJMShow will also air on WPRS 104.1 HD2, WKYS 93.9 HD2 and WMMJ 102.3 HD2. The TJMS weekend show, "Right Back Atcha", will continue to air on Majic 102.3 Saturdays from 6-8 a.m. News and Talk 1450 WOL host Carl Nelson will move his show to afternoon drive from 4-7 p.m.

Now the question that remains is what happens to comedian Huggy Lowdown @HuggyLowdownDC? The Celebrity Snitch hosts his own music show each morning on Majic 102.3 in the 9-10 hour. (Yes the TJMS was cut an hour in the DC market earlier this year to make room for Huggy.) He appears regularly on the Tom Joyner Morning Show and in the afternoons with Donnie Simpson. Will he join Russ Parr? We will keep an eye on what develops on that front. By the way TJMS contributors, Huggy and Chris Paul, both were members of the Donnie Simpson morning show when it aired on WPGC.

• Gayle King and Charles Barkley are finalizing a deal that would have them jointly lead a primetime hour each week on CNN, according to people familiar with the matter and multiple news sources. The pact is not complete and there is always the risk it may not come to fruition, one of these people says. CNN declined to make executives available for comment.

• Tavis Smiley owned Los Angeles talk station KBLA Talk 1580 donated $20,000 in scholarship money to the NABJLA and MPJI. Smiley says, “The National Association of Black Journalists of Los Angeles and the Minority Photo-Journalism Institute are making a tangible difference in our community by helping students pursue careers in journalism and communications. KBLA ‘Talk 1580’ strongly believes in enlightening, empowering and encouraging tomorrow’s reporters, editors and potential talk radio hosts. Hopefully, our scholarships make a difference.”

• WLBT anchor and meteorologist Barbie Bassett is no longer with the Jackson, Miss., NBC station after racially insensitive comments. In early March, Bassett was speaking with her fellow anchors on air about Snoop Dogg’s latest business venture, Snoop Cali Blanc, a new wine in his wine label. In response to a comment about putting a Snoop Dogg tattoo on her shoulder, Bassett said, “Fo shizzle, my nizzle.” Bassett is white. Charlamagne tha God defended Bassett as he discussed the situation on The Breakfast Club. “She might be old. She probably has no idea nizzle is a derivative of the N-word. That’s not a fireable offense. I hope she sues.”
