A new morning show is coming to Atlanta this month. Audacy announced on Monday that Tiffany Blackmon, Mike Johnson, and Beau Morgan are teaming up for a new show called The Morning Shift on 92.9 The Game. No specific start date was given.
Each of the three team members comes at sports from a different angle and all of them have deep Atlanta ties. Blackmon is a sideline reporter for ESPN covering college football and the XFL. Johnson spent five years as a member of the Atlanta Falcons. Morgan has been with The Game in a variety of roles, including as the executive producer of Dukes & Bell in the afternoon and the Atlanta Falcons Radio Network.
“Mike, Beau and I have already had so much fun building this show together, and we can’t wait to get started,” Blackmon said in a press release. “On a personal level, it is so special for me to co-host this morning show in my home state.”
Last month, John & Hugh came to an end when Hugh Douglas left The Game to join sister station 94 WIP in Philadelphia. Audacy says John Fricke will remain with the station in a new role.
“Tiffany, Mike and Beau are going to offer a unique combination of perspectives on sports, culture, current events and day-to-day life that our listeners will find to be informative, entertaining and funny,” 92.9 The Game’s brand manager Mike Conti added. “They’ve quickly developed a chemistry that I think will lead to a fast-paced, fun, high-energy show each morning.”
In addition to a new morning show, the station is also getting a new early morning show. Dylan Matthews will be the producer of The Morning Shift. He will also host The Hometown Take each morning at 5 am.
