I may be a bit late with this, but what's up with all of these djs/radio personalities jumping from behind the mic to either sitting on a sofa in front of a live studio audience or nabbing a reality show? Michael Baisden did it. Then Wendy 'I Insist on Wearing My Lion-King Wig 3 Inches Behind My Forehead' Williams was granted a six week trial run for her new self-titled talk show and now former Hot 97 radio host Miss Jones has made a bee-line toward reality television. According to online reports, this September, Miss Jones will debut her untitled reality series which will chronicle her on-air interviews, elements of her personal life and even her departure from Hot 97. The show was originally set to air on Viacom’s VH1, but it has been acquired by co-owned BET. Earlier this month (July 3), Jones and her cohorts DJ Envy and Michael Shawn kept it live and upbeat as they bid their final radio airwave goodbyes to the tri-state listeners of Miss Jones in the Morning on Emmis rhythmic WQHT (Hot 97)/New York.In the meantime and in between time, Miss Jones will continue to be heard weekdays on the radio -- this month Radio One urban WPHI (100.3 the Beat)/Philadelphia will relaunch Miss Jones in the Morning. Her show has been airing on WPHI since 2007. As for her two compadres, well, I hope they either saved up for a rainy day...or had something else lined up.
