Popular radio DJ Mimi Campbell was dismissed from her position with Townsquare Media almost three weeks ago.\u00a0 Following a post by a disgruntled fan in the Facebook group Texarkana Cheers and Jeers, Campbell’s fans and friends rallied to show support.<\/p>\n

Campbell had worked as a radio DJ for nearly 17 years when she was told that the station was going in a different direction.\u00a0 Listeners could hear Mimi on Power 95.9 in the mornings and Magic 93.3 in the afternoons. “I guess those corporate folks just didn’t know how much of a chameleon I can be. I can go with the flow; just tell me what needs to be done,” Campbell said in a Facebook post regarding her dismissal.<\/p>\n

When a disgruntled fan heard the news, she took to the Facebook group, Texarkana Cheers and Jeers, to air her frustrations.\u00a0 Neither the disgruntled fan, nor Campbell, expected such an overwhelming response.\u00a0 The post generated over 300 likes, 23 shares, and more than 90 comments.\u00a0 Fans posted moving messages, such as; #teammimi, #bringmimiback, and “I WANT MY MIMI AND MORNING SHOW BACK.”\u00a0 The general consensus of the commenters was that, without Mimi, the listeners were\u00a0changing the channel.<\/p>\n

Attempts have been made to contact the management at Townsquare Media Corporate Office in Shreveport.\u00a0 No one was available for comment at this time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
