So I’m driving home today from work and Big Tigger says he as a major announcement. Now I thought that he was going to say he was going to be on the new WPGC 95.5 morning show, taking over Donnie Simpson’s spot. But to my surprise, Big Tigger announced 5 minutes before his afternoon segment was over that today was his last day on air. Did anyone see that coming?!
First Donnie Simpson and now Big Tigger. While Big Tigger wasn’t on the air with WPGC as long as Donnie Simpson was, I was used to hearing him M-F 2pm-6pm and on Saturdays during his “Live in the Den with Big Tigger Show.” With the absense of these two, WPGC has A LOT of work to do to fill the morning 6-10am show and the afternoon time slot. Supposedly starting Monday, Lil’ Mo will take over for Big Tigger. Yes, you read that right, Lil Mo’.
All I know is WPGC used to be my radio station of choice, so they better bring it if they want to keep me and so many other loyal listeners. Let’s hope things can be worked out and Big Tigger does come back as the new face of the morning show.
By the way - what happened to everyone that was on the “New Donnie Simpson Morning Show?”

On a blog I read, it says that Tigger said its his last day on the afternoon show. Lil Mo will do his show. He could still do mornings but they are working on the contract. Michele is moving to 94.7 FM and Angie will take her spot. And they are looking for a co-host for a potential Tigger morning show. Check it out on http://www.dcrtv.com

When I heard Tigger keep saying he had an announcement at 5:55, I too thought he would come right out and say he was doing the morning show. At one point before his “big announcement” he said to the deejay - “i’m gone miss you most of all” which was my clue that he was leaving. But did anyone else notice when he said, “Big Tigger is doing big things in the morning”. I guess the thing that gets me is all this damn secrecy. Why won’t they announce all that’s going on there so people can stop speculating and to clear all these dag gone rumors. And Michelle Wright gone too? Wow! What is REALLY going on over there!

I can’t see how they let a legend like Donnie go in the first place. That dude is Mr DC hands down. Well at least with Michelle I can hear her on Sirius/XM radio. This is crazy!! So who’s going to do the morning wish now?

Big Tigger left his afternoon time slot and now does the morning show. It’s The Big Tigger Morning Show.

This is really sad. SMH. I liked Big Tigger being on the show in the mornings…being loud and funny. It’s a real shame WPGC can’t keep anyone good. I really hope Big Tigger comes back or decides to stay
