Damn Greg, that garage is nice. I guess we know who makes the big bucks. Sucks about the Kimmer. What happened? I knew something was up when Dave whoever he is was on in the Kimmer's spot.

lol...i remember Kroger. Story.....i used to work at that Arbys across the street when i was 17ish. Me and a buddy used to race his 67 impala and my dads 79 gmc truck down floyd rd at night when we would get off work. I blew that truck up eventually running it low on oil....got it to the Kroger lot and called my dad like i had no idea what happened
I used to lose the race until i learned to shift the auto manually so it would rev higher before it shifted. What a bunch of idiots..we would do 120mph on floyd road!!!! See i didnt just get dumb...i been dumb a long time!!!

Wow, remember when. A friend I went to school with Managed that Arbys for a while, but I think it's safe to say that was after you were gone.
I got Floyd Rd Stories, yo...I got popped by Cobb County one night after the Game for laying 135' or rubber in front of the Mable House. Damn, I'm smooth...

Default FYI---I'm done with WGST!!! *****'em!

Kim Peterson
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Kim Peterson (known as "The Kimmer") was a US television and radio journalist. From 1992 through 2006, he hosted a radio talk show on WGST-AM in Atlanta, GA. A former United States Marine, he served in the Vietnam War. Before becoming a radio host, Peterson was a television anchor in Chicago and New Orleans.

Peterson is a donor for the Marine's Toys for Tots Christmas drive, and from 1997-2005, he produced a comedy bits CD, donating all the proceeds to the drive. In addition, he hosted an annual charity golf tournament. Peterson is an avid motorcycle enthusiast.

From December 2005 to May 5, 2006, WGST began firing Peterson's support team. Jim Gossett, a celebrity impersonator who did the voices of Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush, George W. Bush, and Johnny Carson among others, quit in December after his girlfriend, Kari Dean, was fired. Two months later, WGST-AM's Sports Director Pete Davis was fired for reasons not disclosed by WGST-AM. The last firing was on May 5 when Peterson's producer, Wayne Kitchens, was terminated. Kitchens told an online media outlet (Buzz) that management was upset when he didn’t bleep out an anti-Muslim statement Peterson said on the air the week prior to his firing. Kitchens has speculated that the firings were an attempt to force Peterson to quit.

Peterson's final broadcast for WGST was on November 20, 2006, the station announcing the next day that he was no longer on the air.

The Kimmer Show

The Kimmer Show was the afternoon talk host on Atlanta's WGST. Referred to himself as "The Stain on Atlanta Radio". Known for giving other hosts nicknames, such as: Tom Hughes ("The King." Fellow broadcaster who hosted AM-Atlanta on WGST), Sam Memmolo ("Shadetree Mechanic," host of a weekend radio show on WGST, Stu Klitenic ("The Bank Robber," baseball radio pre-game and post-game announcer for the Atlanta Braves), Mark Lemke ("The Lemmer," former Second baseman for the Atlanta Braves who is now pre-game and post-game radio announcer for the baseball club.), Dave McBride ("Mac the Mechanic", works with Memmolo on his weekend radio program.), Gene Henssler ("Dr. Gene, The Money Machine," Chair of the Henssler Group, a financial consulting firm in the metro Atlanta area.). Recently divorced from the "Fantasy Goddess" (A lawyer in the Atlanta metro area.),served for the Marines during the Viet Nam conflict and blew out his prostate (He had bout with prostate cancer in 2003.), riding his Harley. He is also known by his laugh and shameless self-promotion. Since the "Fantasy Goddess" left him he likes to hang out at Earl Smalls Harley-Davidson (Marietta, Georgia).

Kim Peterson, and his production staff at WGST produced a best-of audio CD every year from 1996 to 2005, called the Kimmer Komedy Klassics. These featured the funniest spots, advertisements, commentaries and newsmaker line calls for that year. One year, the CD included an additional DVD of the Kimmer roast event. The final CD released in December 2005, included a bonus disc which contained all 10 years of Kimmer Komedy Klassics in mp3 format. All CD sales profits were donated to the Marine Corps Toys for Tots program as part of the WGST yearly Christmas fund drive.

As of about noon November 21, 2006 Kimmer's page on the WGST.com website has been taken down, and at 3 PM it was announced that The Dave Ramsey Show (originating from flagship 99.7 FM WWTN Nashville) will air live from 3-7pm in the Atlanta market from now on. Kimmer, along with the last remaining vestiges of local talent on WGST, Denny Schaffer and Tom Hughes, were fired on November 21 as part of the nationwide restructuring of ClearChannel's radio properties
