104.7 WFSH-FM The Fish(R) Voted ``Best Morning Drive Show'' by Atlanta Journal-Constitution Readers

Each year, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution holds a "Best of the Big A" contest where readers have the opportunity to vote for their favorites -- from their favorite restaurant to their favorite morning show. The AJC entertainment website, www.accessatlanta.com, had more than 1.15 million online views on the first day that the contest results were posted.

WFSH-FM General Manager Mike Moran said, "The Fish has an incredibly loyal following, and the listeners really came through to show their support for Kevin & Taylor. In radio, you don't get a chance to see your audience on a daily basis. But when you receive this kind of response in such a competitive market, it makes you grateful to be of service."
