“Danie B is very creative and has already given us a glimpse of what she has in store for middays, and Jazzy is going to turn up with Big Tigger in the morning,” said Reggie Rouse, Vice President of Programming and Brand Manager, V-103.
“It’s a dream come true to have the opportunity to be on air in my hometown on the station that made me fall in love with radio,” said Danie B. “I’ve always wanted to be on V-103, and I am so grateful to Dave Richards, Rick Caffey and Reggie Rouse for seeing something in me and allowing me to prove myself on this iconic brand. I don’t take it for granted, and after ten years away from Atlanta, I’m more than ready to come back home!”
