Kordell Stewart, the former Pittsburgh Steeler and ex-husband of "Real Housewives of Atlanta" member Porsha Williams, is leaving 92.9/The Game after 19 months at the station.
He said goodbye on today's show and took calls from fans. I did not hear why he's leaving but will update this as I get more information. Was it voluntary or involuntary? Does he have a plan B?
Terry Foxx, the program director, declined to comment about where Stewart is going. He said there will be new staffing announcements on Tuesday. Foxx on air said Stewart will keep a relationship with the Game and clearly this is an amicable break up because Foxx actually allowed Stewart to make the announcement on air.
Carl Dukes remains on the show, which airs from 2 to 6 p.m. daily. I get a sense Foxx will name Stewart's replacement next week.
The Game now only has a handful of regulars who were there in October, 2012 including Carl Dukes, Jamie Dukes (no relation), Rick Kamla, Randy Cross and Mitch Evans.
Among those who have since left include C.J. Simpson, Jerome Jurenovich, Kristen Ledlow, Jason Goff, Rachel Baribeau and Mac McDonald.
The station pulled in a 0.9 rating in April, ranked in a tie for 24th, behind sports talk leader 680/The Fan.
Stewart appeared frequently during the fifth season of the popular show "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" when he was married to cast member Porsha. She painted a fairy-tale marriage in front of the camera but he appeared controlling on the show. He filed for divorce last year and the two officially divorced in December. In the midst of this, he fended off rumors of being gay by denying he was gay.
