Not quite... Mort came to 'BBM as insurance because someone wanted Kurtis. Mort was to become the new #1. But Kurtis stayed and Mort was plugged into Harry Porterfield's weekday spot. Which moved harry to the weekends.... Crim, tired of waiting for Kurtis to leave, went to Motown shortly after Post Newsweek took over Detroit's Channel 4. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/869-classic-video-thread-pre-2008/page/239/#findComment-201588 Share on other sites More sharing options...
