Will Pendarvis Returning To 99X/Atlanta

• Stand by for the formal announcement before the end of the week, but consider the beans already spilled — Will Pendarvis, APD/night jock on the original 99X/Atlanta in the mid-’90s is returning to the recently relaunched 99X in a role TBA.

In a segment that in no way resembled a bit, Pendarvis was apprised of his new gig Wednesday morning when he was awakened during a spontaneous-sounding phone call from The Morning X with Barnes & Leslie. The audio is posted here.

After leaving 99X in 1996, Pendarvis went on to do mornings on WWDC (DC101)/Washington, followed by five years in afternoons at the late WXRK (92.3 K-Rock)/New York. Since 2004 he has worked for SiriusXM and currently serves as the Los Angeles-based Operations Manager and Director of Music Programming and host of the Friday night Party 360 on SXM’s Classic Alternative 1st Wave (Channel 33).
