Brew Bits: Tigger To Replace Donnie Simpson?

Word on the curb is former BET host and DC radio personality, Tigger, may move up from his afternoon spot on WPGC and into the morning shift vacated by Donnie Simpson. Simpson left the station in late January after three decades on local radio.  Sources say Big Tigger may be on the move soon. There were rumblings that Mo'Nique could be coming to the station after promos for "Mo'Nique's Morning Takeover" ran last weekend.  No official word from the station confirming either move, but one thing's clear, the bios of Simpson's fellow co-hosts have been removed from WPGC's website.  That can't be a great sign. DC folks, stay tuned...

Donnie Simpson Leaving Radio?

Word on the street is DC radio DJ Donnie Simpson is trying to bust out of his contract with WPGC. Apparently, the ratings are slumping over there.  I wouldn't know... my iPod doesn't seem to get the radio. 

DCRTV and The Washington Post report Simpson is in negotiations to end his contract early.  He still has a year left on his current contract, but he's reportedly trying to leave before March 11, the anniversary of his hiring by WPGC.  Superhead's nemesis Big Tigger would then move to mornings and take Simpson's spot.

Simpson's been heard in DC for 32 years.  Maybe he'll go back to Video Soul.  Oh, wait...
