Big Boy will begin DJing mornings Monday, March 9, on 92.3.<\/p>\n<p>The ruling stems from a breach of contract suit that Emmis filed on Feb. 3, seeking no less than $5 million in damages, as well as preliminary and permanent injunctions. On Feb. 10, the court granted Emmis a temporary restraining order &#8212; until now.<\/p>\n<p>Following Tuesday&#8217;s ruling, Emmis issued this statement: &#8220;While Emmis is disappointed with the Court&#8217;s ruling and will evaluate our legal options, we are pleased with the Court&#8217;s indication that damages are an available remedy at trial. Emmis remains resolute in continuing to protect our legal rights and committed to the continued success of Power 106.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>iHeartMedia is excited to get started with the longtime radio personality. &#8220;You can&#8217;t say hip-hop in Los Angeles and not immediately think of Big Boy,&#8221; says Greg Ashlock, president-Southern California, iHeartMedia. &#8220;He&#8217;s authentic. Passionate about the music with tight artist relationships. And, most importantly, connected with Los Angelenos. This is a major coup for us here at iHeartMedia Los Angeles, and a big win for the L.A. hip-hop audience.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You can&#8217;t imagine how psyched and ready I am to show my listeners &#8212; my family &#8212; what we&#8217;ve got planned at Real 92.3,&#8221; Big Boy added. &#8220;iHeartMedia 100 percent gets what I&#8217;ve been doing for over 20 years and together we&#8217;re going to take it to the next level. Love and gratitude to my listeners. You all mean everything to me, and I&#8217;ll see you real soon.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"post-excerpt\">The longtime L.A. radio personality is now free to work for 92.3 during a trial on the matter.
