It's been a wild week for radio in Atlanta! Early in the week verything seemed just fine, but early Thursday, the rumor mill went crazy suggesting that the entire 107.9 staff was being let go. I figured the majority of that to be pure rumor, but you know your favorite BRiSON Crew had to get you the real scoop. After hours of calling around, I was able to reach Griff's camp. Of course, there is no truth to the entire staff being let go, but Radio One did decide to let the A-Team Morning Show go in exchange for the sydicated Ricky Smiley Show.

Check out the official statement from Griffy 2 Trillion, one of the former A-Team members. Griff is a cool dude that is on top of his comedy game right now, in fact, I booked him for the 1st Annual THUG Awards, and whether that show was a bust or not, Griff still had the crowd rolling in stitches. Peep the statement:

"The last 3 years and 6 months at Radio One have been a life changing
experience. I thank my spiritual Father for the friends that I've metand
worked with because I've learned so much and have grown as aperson here in
Atlanta. I'm excited about my future, I have a strongteam of people helping to
take me to new heights, and I will continueto make people laugh all over Atlanta
at events and comedy clubs,while serving the community through my foundation,
Positive Vibes.When I got home today, I read a book that said: 'On this day the
will of God is done in my life.' That was all the closure I needed."

Way to stay positive through what could be a rough transition! Other A-Team members are rumored to have already secured other slots throughout the day, but stay tuned to BRiSON, we'll definitely keep you posted as more comes to light.
