Y100/Miami gets creative with a unique spin on holiday weekend talent. APD/MD Valentine tells FMQB, "Cool little thing we are doing. Listeners tell us their favorite party songs, and we load them into the Party Pod. Flo Rida had his turn hosting, Elvis Duran hosted, and now Miami’s own Pitbull will take over the latest Y100 Party Pod. The entire Y100 family handed their keys to Pitbull so we all can have time off. It all starts Friday at 3pm, and goes till Monday at 6p. You can check it out on Y100, Y100.com, and through iHeartRadio." Sounds like a trend could be starting here.
