The AJC has announced the winners in its Best of Atlanta poll, which includes radio personalities.
A couple of things:
1) The winners do not necessarily parallel the ratings.
2) No strictly music show personality made the list.
Jeff Dauler of Star 94-1 was voted #1 followed by Ryan Cameron from V-103 and then Jason Pullman & Kristin Gates of 94-9 The Bull. Runners-up include Scott Slade, Lois Reitzes, Shannon Burke, Bert Weiss, Kim Peterson, Brandi Britain, Ricky Smiley, Eric Von Haessler, Mark Arum and Art & Roy.
I'm going to have the considerable nerve to add some people I feel are also among Atlanta's best radio talent:
WABE - Dennis O'Hayer
92-9 The Game - John Fricke, Hugh Douglas, Rick Kamla, Carl Dukes
Star 94-1 - Jenn Hobby, Heather Branch, Marino
94-9 The Bull - Otis (The O Show), Angie Ward
97-1 The River - Steve Craig, Kaedy Kiely
B98.5 - Madison James
Q100 - Adam Bomb
Kicks 101-5 - Dallas McCade, Scott Gaines
V-103 - Ramona Debreaux
104.7 The Fish - Kevin Avery, Taylor Scott, Parks Stamper
NewsRadio 106-7 - Rob Stadler, Jim Gossett
Majic 107-5/97-5 - Maria Moore, SiMan
The above are based strictly on my opinion. Feel free to disagree.
