When a radio station changes formats, it usually has to change staffs, too. In case you missed it, Emmis Communications' new Movin 93.9, which replaced country format KZLA-FM, is looking for a "sassy sidekick" for Rick Dees, who will return to the local airwaves as the station's morning host. Qualifications: "You must have a very pleasing voice, love Rhythmic pop music, be a pop culture junkie, know our targets 30+ Female lifestyle and love, music, movies, TV, concerts, etc." It's described as "an opportunity of a LIFETIME," which I'm sure it is. The new format will feature Beyoncé, Gwen Stefani, Gnarls Barkley and other R&B-minded performers.
