Radio KEXP Assigns Two New Regular DJ Time Slots
Posted by Dave Segal on Fri, Jun 19, 2009 at 4:15 PM
Effective immediately, Sharlese Metcalf will handle Mondays from 1 am-6 am and Alex Ruder will take over Saturdays 1 am-6 am on KEXP 90.3FM. Data Breaker featured Ruder last year around the time he hosted the station's Decibel-centric Audioasis. We knew back then Ruder was destined to ascend KEXP’s ladder.
We wish both programmers and their biorhythms the best.

Now if they'd just hussle John Richard's ass out, give his time slot to Troy Nelson and let Rachel Ratner DJ MORE frequently this station would have me tuned in daily.

Sad to say that no one has mentioned the reason why these DJs now have air shifts - the firing of long-timer Larry Metro. I've been a listener of his since the KCMU days. Always an interesting mix of music, never knew what he'd put on next. Would love to know the reason why he forced from KEXP.

Actually, three new DJs were given air shift. Shani Jayant is the new Sunday Morning (Saturday night) host. Congrats to all three!

@10 - Let's just say I think Larry would be OK with your not knowing the reason he was forced from KEXP.

I'm very bummed to hear Larry Metro is gone. And no, I don't need to hear the reason, I just like his shows.
@6 - I like the music Rachel plays but I cannot listen to her VOICE. I turn the radio off every time she DJs.
