Former OJ&B Co-host Becomes CW Austin Star!

I am BEYOND proud to announce that my former co host Amanda Dugan is the brand new CW Austin Star! “The CW Austin is looking for someone who will be the face, the voice and the personality that is The CW Austin,” said Deirdre Conley, KXAN, KNVA and KBVO creative director in an interview with The University Star at Texas State University and that is exactly what they got!

I met Amanda Dugan when Orange Juice and Biscuits was a nationally recognized morning talk show on KTSW-Fm 89.9. I was the executive producer and host for the show and my original co host and co creator of OJ&B, Adrienne Brown, graduated from Texas State. Because Brown was no longer able to do the show due to graduating I had to look for a brand new co host. I held a campus wide search for "America's Next Top Co host and had a great response! Amanda was one of the hopefuls who obviously got chosen to help host OJ&B!

Amanda has always had a spark to her and I have loved her "One life to live" attitude. I love how she goes for everything she wants! She tried out for OJ&B, she was a finalist in this year's mtvU's Oscar Red Carpet Correspondent Contest, and now she is the CW Austin Star! GET IT BOO!

I cannot wait to dish with her about all of the fab things that she is going to get to do in 2011! As she would say "It is going to be so dreamy!" I will definitely keep you guys and gals posted on Amanda's exciting journey but for now, let's take a trip down memory lane when Amanda and I hosted the entertainment segment on Texas State University's Studio B. I give you, "The Squeeze with Orange Juice and Biscuits!"
