V-103 announces a series of programming updates effective May 11.
Four-time Emmy Award–winning broadcaster Francesca Amiker is joining “The Big Tigger Morning Show” as the new co-host, weekdays from 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. ET. DJ Sturgess, a producer on “Greg Street Afternoons,” is elevated to night show host and will be heard weeknights from 7:00 PM to 10:00 PM and on Saturdays.
Frank Ski returns to the station as a weekend host on Sundays from 12:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m ET and will be heard throughout the week as the station’s contributor.
“Francesca is a powerhouse talent and we’re excited for our listeners to hear her on ‘The Big Tigger Morning Show,’” said Reggie Rouse, Vice President of Programming and Brand Manager, V-103. “This new lineup, highlighted by Francesca’s arrival, Frank Ski’s return, and the well-deserved elevation of DJ Sturgess, reinforces V-103’s position as the city’s most influential station. V-103 continues to be the heartbeat of Atlanta, driven by personalities who truly care about our community.”
“Joining V-103 feels like stepping into history while helping shape its future. This station is the heartbeat of Atlanta and the soundtrack to so many lives, including mine. To be a voice on that platform alongside Big Tigger—an icon —is surreal,” said Amiker. “I grew up listening to V-103, and that connection only grew stronger over time.
