Two things happened in July: John Nolan, morning show co-host at XHPRS-105.7 in Tecate/San Diego, left the station, leaving Kim Morrison to do the show solo. In Chicago, Jack Diamond, who had spent 24 years at WRQX in Washington DC, sat in as co-host with Brant Miller on WLS-FM in Chicago, leading to speculation that Diamond would take over the morning show and Miller's role would be reduced. In August, Jack Diamond surprised everyone by joining Kim Morrison on XHPRS. In the late 1980s, Diamond had worked at San Diego country station KSON. Mike Shepard was the program director. Shepard is now programming XHPRS and talked Diamond into moving to San Diego. As Mister benale noted, Diamond quit after two weeks and he's now back in Chicago. If Diamond thought the cost of living in San Diego was too high, he can be glad he didn't wind up in Los Angeles!
