One of the most popular morning radio shows in Virginia will have a new sound beginning Wednesday morning. Tommy Griffiths officially announced Monday that he is resigning from "The Tommy and Rumble Show" on WNOR's FM 99. In a phone interview with WAVY-TV Monday night, Tommy Griffiths said, "I think it was just a combination of things that work and things that I've dealt with on a daily basis. And I just felt like...there's more out there. I'm still young enough to establish myself as a heritage morning show host in another market and I've started the standup comedy stuff and that's been going well." Griffiths signed on with the late Henry "the Bull" Del Toro in 1990 and stayed on when his current partner, Rick Rumble, replaced Del Toro in 1995. Griffith and Del Toro made headlines when during an April Fools stunt they announced Mount Trashmore in Virginia Beach was going to blow up. Both were fined and suspended. Rumble and the rest of the morning team will continue, with an on-air announcement expected on the show Wednesday. In a message to Facebook Friends, Griffiths wrote: "FYI: as of 8/3/09 I have left FM99 WNOR - no more Tommy and Rumble. It breaks my heart, but it's time to move on. Thanks for all the love and support over the years. All my best to WNOR and to RICK RUMBLE! Tommy Griffiths."
