From the Visalia Times-Delta:

Tulare, California’s Daniela Earnest and her family will go to Disneyland after all and they won’t have to wait until they’ve raised enough money. KSEQ Q97 host Davey D gave the family four tickets to “The Happiest Place on Earth” after learning that Daniela’s lemonade stand, set up to raise funds for the trip, had been shut down by a Tulare code enforcement officer. “This is a huge deal for her,” said Daniela’s father, Ed Earnest. During his afternoon show Tuesday, Davey D recounted Daniela’s ordeal with the city. The 8-year-old Tulare Christian School student had set up the stand at Cartmill Avenue and Hillman Street, only to be shut down. “[Davey D] was really upset when he heard about the story. He has a 9-year-old boy,” said Daniela’s mother, Marisa Earnest.

From the Hear 2.0 blog:

Seacrest…out?

So Ryan Seacrest has reportedly been coached to talk less between the songs on KIIS FM.

In a competitive market, the PPM ratings decline when the mic opens, or so the general consensus (with plenty of exceptions) says.

Ryan is supposedly miffed, and who can blame him? There are, after all, lots of companies that pay him lots of bucks to say stuff in front of an open mic. Putting a lid on it is the last thing they want.
