Popular Star 94 pair bids adieu
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
What has been whispered about for months finally became official Thursday: After a successful, nearly unprecedented 17-year run, Star 94’s morning team of Steve McCoy and Vikki Locke will leave the airwaves Nov. 2.
Earlier this year, citing continuing health concerns, Locke announced her intention to leave the show when her contract expires at the end of the year.
McCoy, a veteran Atlanta morning voice for decades with stints both at Star 94 and the old Z93, will now join his on-air partner.
“The Star 94 family and our listeners are sad to see the Steve & Vikki Show come to an end after such a successful run,” said Mark Kanov, WSTR Sr. VP/General Manager via a press release sent to Buzz. “We couldn’t be more proud of their accomplishments and invite listeners to help us celebrate their success.”
According to station reps, Star 94 will salute the pair’s tenure on air with a month-long retrospective of McCoy and Locke’s ” all-time greatest bits, gags and stunts” that will run through Thanksgiving Day. The look back will be co-hosted by morning show regulars Tom Sullivan and Shannon Holly.
A nation-wide search for a new morning show will continue, according to the release. In a statement, Locke said: “My husband and I agree that my health is the most important thing. My doctor says a low-key schedule and more sleep will help get me back to 100%.”
Interestingly, there was no statement in the release from McCoy regarding his future plans.
Like Locke, McCoy’s contract with the station was due to expire later this year.
