Dayton DJs appear on national TV show
The DJs from 107.7’s Mix Morning Show are going to appear on a network television show thanks to southwestern Ohio listeners.
Jeff Stevens, Kristi Leigh and Dave Alexander will have walk-on roles on the CW Network’s new show, ‘Life Unexpected’ because listeners from their station made the most calls in a eight-day contest where listeners cast votes for their local DJs.
One of the settings in ‘Life Unexpected’ is a radio station.
Listeners from the Dayton market were more enthusiastic and numerous in their voting than those in 46 other markets, including big markets like San Francisco, Chicago and Los Angeles, said Jeff Stevens operations director for Clear Channel stations in the region.
“In the end the battle was between us and WCOL in Columbus for the most votes,” he said. “We were just blown away by the support of our listeners for this contest.
The DJs will head to Vancouver, where the show is filmed, on Wednesday, Jan. 27. They don’t know yet when their episode will air. Also, one listener will go with them and another will win $1,000 from Delta Vacations as part of the contest.
‘Life Unexpected’ airs on the CW on Mondays at 9 p.m.

Listeners made the most calls here in southwest Ohio because they are all unemployed and have nothing else to do.

I’m so glad the news checks their stories. It wasn’t a call in contest, it was an online registration. Good to know that journalists can actually check their stories!

Chris is just upset because they are taking the DJ’s and not Chris. It’s ok, Chris. You can still watch and cry about not getting on the show.
