Scott Riggs out at Rock 105.3

Scott Riggs sends: ” I received some not-so-great news earlier this week. After four amazing years at ROCK 105.3 FM San Diego, my DJ tenure and radio shows, The Inside Track and Guerilla Radio, will no longer be part of the ROCK 105.3 programming line-up. It wasn’t a decision against me or the shows but more to modify the Sunday night programming at ROCK so that it is more in line with the day-to-day programming of the station.

I am eternally grateful to ROCK 105.3 Program Director Shauna Moran-Brown for giving me the opportunity and freedom to program an Indie/Alt. show that was far outside the normal ROCK programming and letting me carry on for four years. This entire experience has really brought joy into my life and helped me love music and radio more than I ever knew I could…for that, I am grateful.

I also want to thank you for your support, kindness and patience with me throughout the years. I’ve really enjoyed being part of the San Diego Radio community and Indie music family for the past 15 years and hope that I can return soon and once again give a radio voice to such great music.

So, what’s next for me? One door closes and another opens…that’s what they say, right? My first goal is to get the show back on the air in San Diego. I’ll be shopping The Inside Track to other radio stations here in town and I believe there is at least one or maybe two stations that might be interested. I will, of course, let you know if any progress is made on that front. I’m also cooking up some other exciting things that I will let you know about as they get closer to becoming a reality.

Other than that, I’m going to keep going to shows, listening to great music and getting the word out in any way I can. Within the next month, I’ll be launching a new web site at http://www.riggsradio.com. There will be all kinds of stuff on there, but, my blog will be my new outlet for music release. Once it’s launched, I’ll let you know. In the meantime, you can go to http://www.myspace.com/scottriggs for the latest news.
