    Randy Hoag, of 'Jeff & The Showgram' is leaving the show.


Randy announced he is leaving on his Facebook page this morning. Randy said "I've been on the air with Jeff, Jerry, Tommy, and Laura for over 23 years and Emily for over 10 years. So I'm sad to say that the station has decided to let me go. To Jeff, Jerry, Tommy, Laura and Emily, it's been an honor working with you. I love you guys. Thanks to all our wonderful listeners for all your support. God bless."

Best wishes, Randy.

Sorry to see this, Randy. Shame that radio staff is shrinking like many of them are. It's the old "ROI" curse that has gotten worse and worse....here's hoping that the good ones will continue to survive - - keep your chin up.

SanDiegoRadio.org had the opportunity to catch up with Emily Griffiths, from KIOZ's "The Show". We hope you enjoy this candid interview. I do consider Emily a radio pro as she has worked very hard wherever she has been as well as landing a job with iHeart after her previous morning show disbanded.


Joe Nelson: What is your current position? Emily Griffiths: Producer of The Show on Rock 1053
JN: How are things with you right now? Life, work….. EG: Life is great! I just finished my first year on The Show and it has been a year full of learning and adjusting to the inner workings of a new show. Coming from many years being on The Jeff and Jer Showgram there was a ton of changing and adjustments. The routine and way the show works is different in so many ways. I feel like I have grown more this year in my career then ever before.
JN: San Diego… What is your favorite place to visit? EG: This…
