Much to cover, the dust has not settled yet. Where to begin …

Tommy Update: Tommy Sablan tells SDRadio that the friendship with their former employer remains good. He said, “They let me in the building to get my guitar and my Shotgun Tom bobblehead! Jimmy Steele and I have been emailing.

Update Jeff and Jer went on FOX 5 this morning and the main message was: they live in San Diego and they work in San Diego. Jeff and Jer, holding a sign “Will DJ for Food” insisted that they work as a family and there was indication from the radio group that all of the “family” were not invited back. Not naming who, Jeff and Jer said they hope to announce shortly where they will land. They also brushed off a direct question from Chrissy Russo about Jack FM’s announcement on August 31.

They insisted that the press release from Clear Channel was sincere and they parting was friendly and the friendship remains.

Prior to Jeff and Jer on TV, Jimmy Steele went on the 94.1 airwaves and talked about the departed stars. Jimmy talked about the support that Jeff and Jer brought to the station and how they played a major role in the success of it. Jimmy said that bringing up A.J. and the Playhouse to the station good for Star 94.1. Plus, A.J.’s annual toy drive will be bigger this year.

Jeff and Jer left the air yesterday after there showgram on Star 94.1. As talks broke down, it was clear they were not going to have their talent on board, and with August 31 as their last day on the contract, their plug was pulled.

Jerry told Karla Peterson at the Union-Tribune, that the core team would be cut in the ‘new’ contract. “We are a family show done by a core family. We won’t do a show without our family. That’s unacceptable,” Jerry said.

With that, the big wait starts as rumbles and rumors start. Yesterday, Jack FM sent an announcement that at 7:10 a.m. on August 31. Then there is the ever grown noise that former boss and close friend Bob Bolinger has been put into play for the team.

What ever the case, Jeff and Jer, along with “Little” Tommy Sablan, Randy Hoag, Laura Cain, Delana Bennett and Emily Griffiths will remain on the airwaves in San Diego.

With the change, several things have happened at Clear Channel: First off Ruth 66 has been rehired and remains a paid part of the Dave, Shelly, and Chainsaw program at 101.5 KGB.

Her prayers were answered. To celebrate, she is going on vacation to Pennsylvania. Congratulations Ruthie and thanks for being part of the show!

With Jeff and Jer not on the air at 94.1, A.J.’s Playhouse moves up on the frequency dial. A.J. writes: “It’s true, the AJs Playhouse crew moves up the dial to Star 94.1 as “AJ in the Morning” on Monday August 31!”

There is some confirmation of the new programming at Channel 933: JohnJay & Rich, syndicated out of Clear Channel’s Kiss FM Phoenix probably will be tapped. The Arizona based morning show have several stations from Colorado Springs, Fresno, and others.

Rich is no stranger to the area, he was part of the DSC show for many years.

The San Diego Padres will honor Ted Leitner tonight at Petco Field. The radio play-by-play voice has been calling games for 30-years for the Padres. XX 1090 will air a 15-minute tribute to Ted at 3:45 p.m., today.

Ted came to the market in 1977. He was part of the KFMB-TV crew as sports anchor. He was offered a spot on the broadcast crew when Jerry Coleman was named manager of the team in 1980.

Of course, Jerry and Ted have been a team since 1980.
