This morning, Friday, we thought that it would be funny to change the door knob to our studio. Unfortunately, for Chris Logan he had no clue that we were NOT going to let him into the Hot Studio at 10am for his midday show. While holding the station hostage, we decided to keep the Friday Morning Breakfast Jam going till 10:30am!!! Yes, we broke ALL of the station and radio rules in the handbook. R

One of the regular characters on the morning show with Chris Reed On-Air is the custodian for all seven radio stations here at Townsquare Media, "Big-D." He will often put the mop or vacuum down for a few minutes and join the show LIVE!! Yes, our custodian just walks into the studio and hops on the mic...We're that professional!!! However, hear what he had to say about our night jock, Br

On Friday Mornings we go-back for ONE hour!! We call that hour "The Friday Morning Breakfast Jam" and its all brought to you by our good friends at Express Employment!! For one hour only we give you the HOTTEST hour in ALL of radio and this week's mix was non-stop from start to finish.

Like most of you, I too sometimes wake-up on the "wrong side of the bed." However, with the help of Youtube, my sour moods can often go from gloomy to bright in just minutes. Yes I will admit, I often use Youtube to my advantage to start my day on the "right foot." Here are a few LOCAL videos that went viral and have since become a few of my favorites.

So earlier during day on the morning show, I decided it was time for me to pull a fast one on Chris Reed since HE is always the one giving me a hard time since I'm the 'New Guy.'  If your new to this I'll give you the 5 second rundown, its a friendly rivalry between us and so far its........Brad Striker 1  Chris Reed 0!!!!!!

As we do every Friday Morning at 9am on Hot 107-9, we cranked up the bass and threw it back once AGAIN!!! The Friday Morning Breakfast Jam!

Thursday morning with Chris Reed On-Air the custodian for Townsquare Media, Big D, showed up in-studio with a blank CD. Not knowing what to expect, Chris Reed put the CD into the CD Player and pressed "play" while Live On-Air.

Most of us love to listen to the radio but after driving 7 hours to Destin, Florida with Chris Reed and a couple of friends we all get a little nit picky with the radio.........

Earlier tonight, the Custodian For All Seven Radio Stations, "Big D," was buffing the floors here at Townsquare Media. Well, Digital and I were in the studio and we heard the buffer go silent for several minutes. As I walked into the hallway, I saw the buffer and NO "Big D." Being the kids we are, I thought I'd try to help finish buffing the floors...That's until someone turned

As I do every week night at 7pm, we open-up the phone-lines to all of you right here in Acadiana and in South Louisiana for out Hot Topic Of The Night. Tonight, Monday, I wanted to know what or who may have ruined your Monday? Whether at work or just in general, many of us get often get off on the wrong foot to start our work week. Tonight, two callers got rather emotional when they discussed thei

As I do every Monday, I dug deep into the archives this week for my "CD Pick Of The Week." If you recall, last week I was in a 90s mood when the radio wasn't on, but this week we take a whole different angle.

For several months now, OK maybe not that long, our custodian for all SEVEN radio stations has been promised an ice cold margarita from Chris Reed. Each Friday, "Big D" would come into the studio asking, "Chris Reed where is my margarita?" And too often Chris Reed's reply was, "next week Big-D."

The Cajun Heartland State Fair is underway at the Cajun Dome, and I recently went to the fairgrounds seeking my five favorite carnival games. As I approached the fairgrounds, I was most confident in my basketball skills. Lets see if my confidence would carry over towards the end of my visit.

It's no secret, we LOVE new businesses here in Acadiana. For a few months we have anticipated the opening of the Congress/Bertrand location of Rouses Supermarket in Lafayette, La mainly because it is just a block away from the studios, not to mention we are ALWAYS hungry-and thirsty ;). Chris Reed and Digital, along with Jobo from our sister station Planet Radio 105.1 visited Rouses on opening day

Yesterday Chris Reed & Digital thought it would be clever to make a video showing the world my senior pictures from 1993. I accidentally left them at the office after I had brought them to have something made for my mom on Mother's Day and never had the chance to bring them back. Regardless, I figured that if those two class clowns were so excited to show you MY senior pictures ... imagine how

Today, I truly stumbled upon a gold mine of awesomeness. I came back to the office to get some keys after-hours, and for those who don't know, I share an office with Chris Logan. I have no clue what told me to look in between our desks, but when I did something caught my eye. It was a paper bag that had a retro-style look on it that screamed "open me now Digital." When I opened it to rev

When we think back upon our childhood years, we reminisce on things that were fun. We also think back upon things that defined the years of our childhood. Whether it was was we did, what we wore, what we watched or listened to, or how we did things, every era is well defined by its surroundings. Now,  I will look back upon my childhood years, and highlight a few things that I'd like to bring back

After much consideration and after taking many of your phone calls LIVE On-Air, Chris Reed, Brad Striker, and "Big D" elected to throw their own party in the studio tonight. Not only is it Cinco de Mayo, its Chris Reed's 1-Year Anniversary.

Its hard to believe that "Cinco De Mayo" marks my one-year anniversary here at HOT 107-9. It was on "Cinco De Mayo" that the Hot Crew and the staff at Townsquare Media welcomed me into the family. And yes, it truly is a family here. In this one-year, so much has happened and so many opportunities have come for me personally and professionally.

Coming off of Spring Break for the University Of Louisiana at Lafayette, we sent The Custodian For All Seven Radio Stations, "Big D," to Panama City Beach, Fla to report back On-Air what was going on. Not only was he assigned to this project, he was even the driver of one of those big white vans students rent to take them down there. Well, he checked in and Chris Reed was blown away by w
