Attention all singles! Looking for something different to do this Valentine's Day? If you don't mind the early hour, consider making the trip to the WFNX studios for The Sandbox Morning Show's "Sandbox Singles Mixer." Aside from the chance to be part of a live studio broadcast and hang out with our buddies Charlie, Fletcher, & Special Ed, you will also enjoy live music from local Marty O'Malley, catered food from Ivy, and cocktails (A drink at 7 AM? Why not?!)

Deirdre Dagata is no longer the voice of mid-day pop radio in Boston. Clear Channel, the owner of Jam'n and Kiss, made the decision this month to consolidate their DJ staff. The move sounds like smart business practices; they're planning to sink the savings into internet and sales operations. Instead of giving the Boston market a more profitable local station it effectively strips the mid-day of a local personality. Replacing Deirdre is Shelley Wade whose voice will beam in from New Jersey. Shelley will continue to DJ the mid-day show on New York City's Z100 (which actually has studios in Jersey City). Shelly will have a hard time pledging her allegiances to the Yanks on one broadcast and switching over to sing the praises of the Sox. The real loss here is a life long New Englander radio personality. From Deirdre's Kiss 108 profile page:

I’ve come full circle! As an Emerson College student the most memorable moment was when I got accepted into the internship program at Kiss 108! I grew up listening to Kiss 108. It was my favorite radio station. I started out as an intern on the Matty in the Morning Show…I got back into the radio end of the business working at WWKX-Kix 106FM (now Hot 106FM) in Providence, RI. This led to my job at Kiss 108’s sister station WJMN – Jam’n 94.5FM which was my home for the past 6 years. Now I have a new home weekdays from 10a-3p right here on Kiss 108!

Jam'n 94.5 also faced a consolidation cut. Gee-Spin moved from the mid-day to Maverick's evening slot and the mid-day is taken over by a broadcast beamed in from Los Angeles.
