97.9 The Beat in Dallas has decided to end the Rickey Smiley Morning Show to bring in Mark in the morning. Smiley sent a tweet to his fans thanking them for their support and letting them know about the change. Veda Loca will be the permanent replacement. No word on why Rickey’s show is out but it’s usually based on ratings or the Radio Station wants to go in a new direction.

Who tha fuck is Mark and why are you fucking with something that ain’t broken.
Mark McCrazy
Who wants to hear sex related convo from Veda in the mornings while they driving their kids to work….epic fail
Smh… This is the dumbest move that has been made, since K104 dropped Skip Cheetum and that team..! Expect your rating to drop!
Wtf who the fuck is mark and who is going to give me my tea.
Gone get his ass ran right off the radio
Bad call…plain and simple…
No more paternity test Tuesday??? No more political and health facts by the Dr.? No more Praise break??? How am I going to find out what’s going on in Heaven with James Brown and Michael Jackson???
????????????????????????????
????
I listen to Rickey morning show every morning gets my day going! I’m really disappointed the show is ending!!!
Wow, bad move.. I guess there’s behind the scene politics we don’t know about but this show will truly be missed..
Unless it’s Mark Curry, y’all seriously f’d up. Even then Rickey Smiley was hilarious and the show was dope
This is bullshit, y’all have really lost a LARGE % OF YOUR LISTENERS. I ONLY listen to 97.9 for the Rickey Smiley morning show. ✌ thank god for tunein radio, I’ll be listening to him on a different station!
They need to fire that loud mouth inappropriate talking ass women they gave up Rickey for this trashy mouth ass women
Thanks for ruining my mornings
This is a complete mess…i hate k104..those losers alll of em
This is horrible Rickey started in Dallas now y’all let him go it makes no sense. I can listen to him on the internet but I rather have heard him on 979 y’all have made a really bad move and are going to lose lots of listeners. Love you Rickey Smiley and will always support you
So disappointed to hear that Rickey Smiley and the morning show will no longer be on 97.9.
He brought more than laughs very informative and inspiration. Loved Gary with da Tea, terrible decision. Have to find another station. Miss you Rickey keep up the good work.
This has really hurt my heart. Why in the heck would y’all want to get rid of Rickey Smiley? This is crazy. My husband listens to another local station that has changed it’s format as well and he hates it. I’m done with 97.9.
There’s NO WAY I’m going to listen to Veta yelling, and talking about getting hit from behind, and picking hair off of her face… I’d rather Kick Rocks !!! So I️ guess they decided to go with Loud and Vulgar and Loud !!! S
all they had to do is bring back Ebony and everything
would have been good
This is soooooo jacked up!!! how are they!?!?!? Rickey’s show kept the listeners informed an gave insightful info. They could have gradually brought this on… I like Veda… she is not for mornings tho…I don’t want to hear about all the vulgar stuff she says when I’m taking my kid to school.
I like Vida Loca, she cool and funny, but for my ride home. Shit, I’ve been lost for the past two days not hearing Rickey Smiley Morning show. Damn, Damn, Damn……….
Stopped listening to local radio in 2012. XM radio is life!
That fool was on k104 garbage ass show mark mccrazy
I will miss listening to Rickey Smiley and the morning show. Gary with the T especially. My sister knew not to call while I was on my way to work because she knew I love listening to Rickey Smiley and the gang. What other radio station is worth listening to?
U guys will be missed, welcome girlfriend
I don’t want to listen to no dam Veda in the mornings!! Loud ass mouth!! All she talk about is sex jokes, Dillion, and Mint Denstry!!!!!!!! I will not tune in until 10am when she sign off!!!! Uuuuggggh!!! Ricky Smiley was always putting LIGHT on the TRUTH!! And I guess they didn’t like that so they shut him down!!!!
bad move what goes around come around
Rickey n Brat n them made my morning every morning!! This hurts my heart, what othe radio station do they come on?
If anyone wants to still catch Rickey Smiley in the morning,log on to Rickey Smiley morning show .com and you will get to listen to the morning show.
Bad move. Rickey will be back just like 94.5 brought Tom Joyner back. Vida is just not right for the morning. What the What?!
Thank God for TuneIn radio I’ve been listening and will continue to listen on the other stations but I enjoyed listening in the DFW area keeping me up on the news even though I don’t live there anymore! Such a bad move getting rid of Rickey and the crew on 97.9 the beat! They make my work day better!!! Bad decision!!!!!!!!
Veda in the morning no! Ricky was great for the mornings .
Bad move, the station will definitely loose loyal listeners. I being one of them! Bad business decision.. was the reason for the cancellation due to the knowledge Ricky bought to the community.. I think Jeff Johnson & all the other black educated men intimidated ‘white america”
Bad call I’m listenun to 97.9 no more! Oh Rickey you will be missed????it’s funny how they ended the show right after they interview the channel 8!weather lfsy????hmmm bad call
Very bad move I tried listening, it was extremely boring I’m now tuned into a different station because I don’t like it. Veda was more interesting during evening hours. You have given Veda some big shoes to fill; nothing like Rickey Smiley and the crew please bring them back.
97.9 cheap as hell, they hate to give a brother his money. He worked for it so he deserves it. They could have at least brought Ebony Steele back ! This is a joke
Bad move! Who’s going to tell me the “colour” of the day??? #Disappointed
If Rickey is gone, then I’m gone!!!
97.9 the beat is horrible since.. Rickey Smiley Morning Team left… Wtf… I now subscribe to xm radio….
