She is still recording shows for Z-Rock 93.3 in Bristol,Virginia.
Earlier this month, Z-Rock suddenly switched over to all Christmas music all the time.
There's still no word on what format the station will switch to after the holidays.
ORIGINAL STORY
CHARLESTON, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- A radio station known for rocking out is now decking the halls with holiday music, and it's causing plenty of static.
Z-Rock 94.5 in Charleston made a very unexpected move on Monday, switching to all Christmas music all the time. And the deejays are off the clock, too.
Details on the switch are staying secret, and the new sound is getting mixed reviews.
We contacted the owners of the station, Bristol Broadcasting. All they would say is that Z-Rock is undergoing some changes.
