Clear Channel CHR WHTZ (Z100)/New York world premiered "What We Want" by Ashley Alexandra Dupre, a.k.a. "Kristen," on Thursday afternoon (3/13). Tom Poleman, SVP Programming at Z100, stated: "Z100 is all about playing what's hot and we can't think of anything hotter than a song from the woman at the center of the scandal that took down the Governor of New York. On top of that, it's not a bad song. Looks like she may have a new career; this time in music." To hear the song on Z100.com click here

WKTU/New York's Goumba Johnny (John Sialiano) is releasing a humor book this month titled, So You Wanna Be A Mobster? Starting Your Own Mafia Family for Fun and Profit. The tongue-in-cheek tome is described as "the ultimate business book for people who are tired of being suckers, which means the audience for this book is about as huge as the fragrant swamps of Secaucus, New Jersey. Oh, and by the way, it’s a parody. Because everyone knows that in Mafialand, nothing’s personal—it’s just business."

The American Le Mans Series (ALMS) will be joining XM's motorsports coverage lineup starting this Saturday, March 15. It kicks off with the first ALMS race of the season, the 56th Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring event.
