early in 1993, news came out that john boy and billy were being asked by mel karmazin (boss to howard stern) to move to atlanta and syndicate their show. at the time, wroq in greenville, south carolina, was the only other station carrying the show. wrfx general manager jack daniel said the station made a six-year deal that would keep john boy and billy at wrfx but also allow the show to be heard in atlanta, along with raleigh and columbia in the carolinas as well as texas, with the hosts getting a share of syndication income. one disadvantage: the show would include less locally oriented humor that people in other markets wouldn't understand.
