Rick Dees done with mornings

| 11 Comments

The long-time personality did his final KIIS-FM morning show today and read a statement saying "it has been decided" that he give up the slot. On the air he explained this is the other half of the over-hyped "life-changing announcement" that he was not permited to reveal last week. The front page of LARadio.com calls it a "historic morning in L.A. radio."

Also, Al Franken and Harry Shearer will discuss the intersection of comedy and politics at 2:30 p.m. today on KCRW's show "The Politics of Culture."
