Booker & Sarah segue from mornings at CHR WSTO/Evansville to mornings at CHR KKHH (Hot 95.7)/Houston. Current KKHH morning host Dave Morales will move to afternoons. Look for Booker & Sarah to officially hit the air in Houston on July 21.

Miss Jones is now the exclusive property of Radio One Urban WPHI (100.3 The Beat)/Philadelphia reports the Philadelphia Inquirer after being cut loose from her morning gig at Emmis Hip-Hop WQHT (Hot 97)/New York late last Friday. The morning radio host also known as Jonesy, and whose real name is Tarsha Jones, had been airing on the station since November in a syndication deal with Emmis. Jonesy has a history with The Beat but departed the station in 2003 when it was at the 103.9 frequency. Her new show is set to debut on July 7.

 

WLDI (WiLD 95.5)/West Palm Beach, FL adds On Air with Ryan Seacrest afternoons from 1-4 p.m. WiLD PD PJ says midday host Valentine will still be heard until 1 p.m. and that the move is "not a corporate cram down" and not "to save money." He adds that, "This isn’t a situation where we turn over the radio station to some third party for three hours. This is a show in which we can integrate Ryan into what WE do. Take a listen and see for yourself. No two stations running Ryan will sound the same."

 

As Citadel flips Country KTYS (The Twister)/Dallas to the 60's and 70's based Platinum 96.7, the station welcomes back legendary air talent and Texas Radio Hall of Fame member Ron Chapman. Chapman’s duties will include consulting as well as assembling the station’s talent, imaging and music.

 

Radio vet and entertainment writer/editor for United Stations Radio Networks Dred Scott joins Triple A KSWD/Los Angeles for weekends and fill-in.

 

Nathan Hubbard is elevated to CEO for Live Nation’s ticketing division.

 

EMI has sued social networking site Hi5 and video advertising company VideoEgg for copyright infringement. According to CNet, the lawsuit claims the companies had allowed users to upload music videos by EMI artists onto their servers, thus violating copyrights.

 

Los Angeles-based Musexpo will head overseas for its first annual European event, Musexpo Europe 2008. Taking place in London from October 27-29, the three day event will include performances from up-and-coming artists as well as invite-only conferences. Musexpo is an international music, media, technology and entertainment forum, founded by Sat Bisla.

 

Triton Media Group acquires Radio Companion, a Web application and tools company, whose technology was created to allow stations to tap into new local revenue streams.
