Atlanta’s legendary airwaves are humming again. The iconic voices that defined an alternative rock generation are back. Originally founded in 1994 with a defining 10-year run on 99X, The Morning X returned in January 2023, reuniting original cast members Barnes and Leslie Fram. The reunion followed the historic comeback of The Original 99X itself just weeks prior.
The team continues to evolve. Jimmy Baron occasionally joins in a recurring role, and as of February 2025, Crash Clark returned to provide full-time, real-time traffic. Following the exit of Leslie Fram in March of 2026, the award-winning show is now The Morning X with Barnes & Crash.
