On September 8th, 2009, WAMO-FM, Pittsburgh's only Mainstream Urban radio station, shuttered its doors forever. The switch to a new format has upset many of Pittsburgh's African-American listeners, who are now without an urban programming outlet.
Currently the station's format is listed as "silent" and is broadcasting fuzz at 37,000 watts.
While many in the urban community are upset, a Rolling Scone poll found that 9 out of 10 white ethnic slurs prefer the new fuzz format to the previous urban one.
ROLLING SCONE ONLINE POLL:
Question 1: What stereotypical ethnic slur best describes you?

Mr. Electricity To Crush 105.9 the X Morning Radio Show
Breaking News...
Trouble is brewing on Pittsburgh morning radio. Rolling Scone-Online has learned that Art the former 105.9x intern, aka Mr. Electricity, has his sights set squarely on 105.9's popular morning show featuring Tim Benz and Bob McLaughlin. Formerly an intern, Art was able to parlay his success as an intern for Tim Benz into his own online only radio show. Although the show airs at a different hour than the morning show, and only one day a week, it is clear that Mr. Electricity has his eyes on the proverbial morning show prize.
Although any attempts to contact the budding star of the Mr. Electricty Radio Show were rebuffed, Rolling Scone can only assume that Mr. Electricty will become popular enough to eventually move to the 6 to 10am time slot that the X Morning Show currently occupies. Once there he will no doubt stop at nothing to destroy Tim Benz and Bob McLuaghlin and bring their show to ruins. Through his wit, highbrow humor and silver tongue, Art will bring his trademark sound to the new Mr. Electricity show.
Rolling Scone can only hypothesize about Tim Benz and Bob McLaughlin's reaction to the news, but our guess is that it is one of pure abject terror. It can be safely deduced that they are both readying their resumes for the job search that they will likely have to undertake once their show is crushed by their former intern.
More details to follow when they become available.
