Da Big Tigger story unofficial
Everyone knows Big Tigger as the successful radio host, TV host and all around guy. Many people don�t know how Tigger came to be Tigger. Streetroachpics.com recently received a fax at it s fax number 3014900303. The fax went over some of Tigger�s back ground and how he is who he is today.
This story starts when Tigger first walk on the College Park campus or the University of Maryland. Tigger was known as a bama back then according to sources or a �get with�. Tigger like most college students was full of dreams and ambition but, he was very short on cash. He was so short it appeared he wore a Tony the Tiger T shirt print all the time. The t shirt is how Tigger got his name. The reason Tigger may have been labeled a get with is because of his affiliation with various crowds. For example, one week he was with the NYC campus crowd , next the Baltimore, next the DC and etc. This is how tigger homed his networking skills.
Doing his time in college, Tigger got an internship at a local radio station called WPGC. To the people who attended Maryland, WPGC was the worst internship you could get. The reason WPGC was the worst was because it did not pay and WPGC was going through a hard time at that time. The station was in transition from soft music, to POP and to the current format Hip Hop. The hands on experiences was just a very very limited. Doing this time, Tigger dropped out of school for reason unknown. Tigger was able to land a job at WPGC because he allegedly was there all the time doing his internship and this was his break.
Some may have called Tigger or teased Tigger doing his humble years but this American story of partying with the right crowd and switching when necessary and hard work and dedication allowed Tigger to become who he is today Big Tigger.
Olivia Fox is back
Olivia Fox is back but for how long. She has not moved her family up to the D.C. area just yet. People are wondering will her return affect the current DJ line up at WKYS or will this lead her to late night syndication. If late night syndication is obtain, a few radio employees may get upset. Olivia first night on the air was very ok and the music selection was descent. Although WKYS played more hip hop or mixtape style doing the 11:00 hour then other stations at that time. This is a clear example of one change. Streetroachpics.com plans to watch Ms Fox for 30 days. Her return has so much radio drama wrapped around it the watch may go longer. Oh pictures of Olivia coming soon . One way or the other. You know how we do .

I am a former On-Air Personality from the Beat 104.9 in Austin, TX. I left the Beat behind politics. Now I know what you are thinking. "Every Station has politics." That is true. But when it is based upon race and not pure talent, it gets hard to breathe at a station. I have been in radio 12 years. 7 Years in Austin, Tx, before going to Killeen,Tx then returning to AUstin Radio by way of the Beat 104.3 (104.9)I was set to get a salary as overnights and also the web guy for the website. I have maintained sites before, but this time the webmaster didn't want to give up full control of the site in order for me to do my job. Instead my boss (Rudy Ramos)took the word of (Javier Garcia)the Webmaster that I couldn't do the job. And Rudy Ramos didn't ask my side of the situation and decided to withdraw the salary offer. See were the politics lay? Ramos would take Garcia's word over Whitey's Word. But the station is bound to fail anyway. Not based upon poor leadership. But behind poor financing (BMP Radio) A radio company who hires legal immigratents, And poor talent.(DJ 2DQ) A 39 Year old Mix DJ, that has the habit of messing around with 18 and 19 year old girls and getting them knocked-up like his current girlfriend now. That has scandal written all over it. And not to mention is a horrible on-air talent, that has more crutches then a Durible Medical Equipment Store. And playing of the whole "I am hispanic" thing to gain listeners, besides being a true talent, even his own boys gets annoyed with his lame jokes, and predictable cliches. I wonder why true talent like Lady K, Swerve, Snoop Daniel, and Chico Rico have put up with it for so long. The sad case is BMP is a losing company, The Beat in Austin is on it's last leg. And Rudy Ramos and DJ 2DQ will be the reason why it falls. Oh, and by the way, DJ 2DQ hates everyone who is not Hispanic. He calls the Beat a Hispanic Station when 95 percent of the Music is artist that are Afro-American. So How is it Hispanic?
