Star & Buc Wild Officially Flip The Switch & Return to NYC
on Power 105.1 NEW YORK, Jan. 11 /PRNewswire/ -- Clear Channel
Radio's Power 105 (WWPR-FM), New York's New Number One for Hip Hop
& R&B, is pleased to announce that Star & Buc Wild have
officially joined the station. Starting on January 17th, the "Star
& Buc Wild Show" will be back on the air in the tri-state area
from 6-10AM weekdays. The announcement was made by Tom Poleman,
SVP, Programming for Clear Channel Radio New York and Michael
Saunders, Program Director for Power 105.1. Star stated: "New York
is arguably the number one radio market in America, yet there is
nothing compelling, targeted to the young urban audience on radio
in the morning. In spite of themselves, I will affirm their true
value. As sure as I'm the illegitimate love child of the Honorable
Elijah Mohammad and Ayn Rand, you can expect a tongue lashing like
no other, from the Ultimate Star & Buc Wild Show. The Listener
Will Not Be Denied!" With this announcement, Power 105.1 brings
back one of the most popular morning shows in NYC history. The
dynamic duo joined Clear Channel Communications in March 2004 and
can be heard on Clear Channel Urban stations in Hartford, Augusta,
and Philadelphia. Saunders stated: "The Most Powerful Switch in New
York radio has emerged; therefore, giving the listener what they
have been denied is a Powerful way to begin the new year." Star
& Buc Wild, the self-proclaimed "Original Haters", are
world-renowned for their no-holds barred reality humor that
punctuates today's dynamic hip-hop culture. Through Star's sole
engineering, they immediately challenged and became the first
morning show to beat Howard Stern's top ratings in over a decade.
Star has established a successful appeal via his uniquely
insightful, sharp-tongued, take-no-prisoners style -- challenging
and inspiring his guests and audience. Arguably the most compelling
personalities in radio, Star & Buc Wild's male and female, teen
and adult ratings have set historic precedents. Poleman stated: "It
is rare to find a brand in radio as strong as the Star and Buc Wild
Show. We're beyond excited to have them. In less than three years,
Michael Saunders and his team have established Power 105.1 as a
phenomenally successful franchise. Adding Star and Buc to the
equation sets up Power for a position of dominance." Starting
Monday, January 17th, the new Power 105.1 lineup will include: 6am
- 10am Star & Buc Wild Show 10am - 2pm Deja Vu 2pm - 6pm Ed
Lover 6pm - 10pm Cherry Martinez 10pm - 2am Power After Hours 2am -
6am Malikha Mallette For additional information log on to
