KP Joins Jeff and Backstage Ben in the Morning

It looks like KP who did the afternoon show on 97.5 Virgin Radio in London is now doing the morning show along with Jeff and Backstage Ben. It looks like the morning show will be more entertaning since Laura Geddes left the Virgin morning show a while back. Also it appears that Rae Kelly from 105.3 in K/W will do the afternoon show.

So 97.5 London and 105.3 Kitchener are now one station. For sure something had to happen to the morning show. Since Laura left the morning show, which has been on both stations for sometime, it has been awful - as unlistenable as Sandra on Z103.5. Jeff Kelly is boring and Backstage Ben is irritating. Every remark Ben makes ends with his hyena laugh. And, if that isn't enough, Bell has screwed the best morning show by moving Jamar out of mornings on Chum-Fm. Josie Dye has filled in for Marilyn Dennis on the morning show and the chemistry between her and Jamar on seemed great - fun to listen to. I thought Josie would replace Marilyn at some point. Marilyn Dennis, like her former co-host Roger Ashby, is an institution and will likely be at Chum until she decides to retire. Never expected Jamar to be shifted out, although other stations do have duo afternoon drive hosts. Fortunately in our listening area we still have Scott & Kat in the morning.

Also worth noting that Virgin in London is number one 25-54 with a 19.1 share.  One hour east  Kitchener's Virgin outlet at 105.3 has 6.6 share 25-54, and trailing the similarly formatted local Beat 91.5.
