'Morning Mess' lands at Atlanta station
The popular "Morning Mess" radio show, which has been pushed out of Indianapolis' WNOU-FM 93.1, will start airing on a Top 40s station in Atlanta early next year. WNOU owner Emmis Communications Corp. last month changed the format on the 93.1 frequency and sold the "Radio Now" intellectual property to Radio One, but its morning team decided to move on. Marco, Shannon and Super Phat Mikey visited the studio during today's morning drive time slot at the new WNOU-FM 100.9 to break the news to their Indianapolis listeners. Their show will begin airing on Atlanta's WSTR-FM 94.1 in January.
