Hot 107.9 Fires The A Team Morning Show
Sad news today for Atlanta radio listeners. Hot 107.9’s “The A-Team Morning Show” has been released and will be replaced with The Ricky Smily Show. The A-Team consists of Griff, Rashan Ali, Emperer Searcy, Akini and Beyonce Alowishus. It is unknown of the full team has been terminated or moved to other areas in the station. It appears that the decision is a budgetary one in that it is much cheaper to use a syndicated show than to produce one in your local market. (Source)
This sux!! My sincerest wishes go out to the entire team. All are very talented and I’m sure they will come out of this just fine.

August 28, 2008 @ 6:59 pmWhoa… That’s crazy.
True type: I just spoke to Rashan Ali a month ago, and she said that it was getting shady around there. I used to intern back when Luda, Poon, La-La and Chaka were there and it was Hot 97.5.
Didn’t see this coming though…

September 7, 2008 @ 7:52 pmFirst off DEE! “Who cares?!” WTH?! Obviously you do! If you didn’t, then why have you researched this information?! The show may have not been for all audiences, however, there were many topics and issues discussed that had substance. It’s really sad to hear that the A team is no more. I love Griff! He sure made my morning! “HOW ABOUT THAT!?!” Griff and Akini, along with Rashan, Beyonce, and Searcy made the morning show. How can they change up and not expect ratings to go down!?! I know they will make a come back….ESPECIALLY Griff! Also, before you get on here “going off” make sure to spell “morning” correctly! Also….his name is TAVIS SMILEY…nut!

September 26, 2008 @ 5:18 pmI hate this. I hate it on so many levels. This show — The personalities were doing so much good in Atlanta. Also, that was a very ignorant comment by “Dee”. “GHETTO mornig show” — get out of here. Anyway, I can see ratings for Hot 107.9 going down, way down.
Be well.

October 1, 2008 @ 11:45 pmThe closeness to each personality is what hurts! Their focus seemed so personal. Thanx for your efforts. Everything happens for a reason. Love u guys

October 6, 2008 @ 9:07 amI WILL CERTAINLY MISS THE A-Team they are a talented group and I am sure they will bounce back. Much love to the gang. Will have to go back to my buddy Tom Joyner. I will keep the faith because I know the team will be just fine. Miss them real bad.

October 6, 2008 @ 10:02 pmWell, well, well. Guess it’s goodbye. It’s sad that it had to end this way but the economy is so f*cked up that everything is going haywire. I didn’t really listen to them that much but I think it’s sad how they just got cut off with no warning. Personally, I’m a Steve Harvey morning show fan but I wish them well anyway. BTW, I really hate it when ignorant a*s people like Dee make comments and can’t spell to save their damn life or have piss poor grammar. It’s called proofreading people!!!

October 8, 2008 @ 5:03 pmGhetto! I would say that about that top 6 song V-103 morning show with a shim. the A team were a talented group who loved the kids it’s dissapointing to see them go. I wish them well and pray for them.

November 13, 2008 @ 6:31 pmIsn’t it Ricky Smiley and NOT Tavis, taking over the morning show??? Get it right Dee. I’m going to miss the morning show alot they were funny. I know some people didn’t like it but oh well, they weren’t geared for all audiences but I enjoyed them. I wish them all nothing but the best especially that fine *** Searcy!
