NEWS!!!
Hot off the wire... Cedric Hollywood is out as PD of WEDR-FM (99Jamz) after about five years. VP/GM Jerry Rushin EXCLUSIVELY
tells Starpoynt that it was his decision. He said "Squash" the rumors that it was on OM Tony Fields' agenda when
he came into the picture earlier this year. "It was something between Cedric and myself," Rushin says, adding that
he has people in place to handle programming for now until he decides if he will bring someone new in. Meanwhile, the station
is still without power and operating on a generator. Rushin says South Florida is still in crisis from Hurricane Wilma, with
people in dire need of necessities such as water, ice and gas.
