I think kiis did what they had to do. I've known a couple of the djs at kiis, and so I've been hearing of Rick Dees from around their for awhile. Even a year or 2 ago I heard things like "Wow, his ratings have really been going down!". And it's not hard to see why. His show got SO boring! He used to be an amazing DJ, but then recently he started using the same bits over and over again. Their was rarely anything new. He'd record something from the day before, and just play it over to take up time.
And then he wanted a raise! So they had to let him go...
I think Ryan Seacrest will be more interesting than Rick Dees. I listened to his show on Star a couple times, and it was good! He wouldnt be my favorite choice, but he's better than Rick Dees, I think.
And I used to love Rick Dees! He used to be a great DJ!
