One of Atlanta’s most famous personalities, radio host Ryan Cameron is leaving the airways to start on the ground level of his own branding agency as partner. In an emotional show Friday morning, Cameron recounted how he started at the station more than 18 years ago as an intern then slowly moved up from overnights to daytime to mornings.
He said that his big break came when he was called to do a radio gig for “The Hunt For Red October” starring Sean Connery. That assignment, which he got after the previous host was fired due to a drug problem, changed his life.

“Real Housewives of Atlanta” star NeNe Leakes is in the news again, this time for sharing her thoughts on the cast and who needs to be gone.
“If I had it my way, I would get rid of two girls,” Leakes told TooFab. Everyone who watches the show knows that she and Porsha Williams have been at odds since the start of Season 10.
“In my opinion, yes — the cast should be changed up a bit,” NeNe told TooFab in a recent interview. “If I had it my way, I would get rid of two girls and bring in two new ones for excitement. You know, after a while with some of the girls, they just don’t have anything going on exciting enough to be a main cast member.”
“But I better keep who I think should go to myself because the moment I say anything, all hell breaks loose,” she said.
She’s right. We’ll see how this goes over with the rest of the cast members.
