Chris Williams, interim program director for 96rock, was suspended Tuesday for a week, according to Eric Von Haessler, co-host for the Regular Guys, in the wake of what some folks are terming “Stallgate” in which the show secretly taped restroom conversation of the Viva 105.7 morning hosts.
Apparently it was Williams, in his capacity as interim 96 Rock PD, who greenlighted the restroom stunt, which resulted in the firing of Regular Guys Larry Wachs and Eric Von Haessler.
Chris Williams, PD of The Buzz and Afternoon Personality, is largely responsible for the station overtaking 99X in the summer ratings book.
In a week where there has been very little good news for 99X, there is a great deal of opportunity created by the Regular Guys' depature.
