George then went back to his roots and became a co-host on the nationally syndicated "Doug Banks Show" WVAZ V103 from 2pm – 6pm CST, where he helped to secure the number 1 ranking in afternoons.
In 2015-2016 George teamed up with Tony Richards and Mo Ivory for WHUR's highly successful "TMG Afternoons", the show took the number 2 spot in the market.
In 2017-2018 George returned to the nationally syndicated "Michael Baisden Show". From 2020-2021, George took his talents to the “Rick and Sasha Morning Show” starring Rick Party and Sasha The Diva.
