KXNO/iHeart Layoffs

[CapnCy]

I'm sure the "details" can't be shared given their employment, etc...but i wonder if Murph and Andy flexed and IHeart realized they were about to lose the DM market?

 

[ArgentCy]

Have to think they’re putting it elsewhere?

I’ve come to enjoy the Woody Show on the way to work

I suppose they could try and merge the programming a little if there is time available.

I feel like there is a Donald Trump and Comet the Insult Dog meme here somewhere.

I'm thinking Chris does the Ric Flair strut and "woo"

Also, I'm super happy it's moving to FM...I live in central Iowa, but at times (if the weather is off, certain times of day, etc) the signal goes to crap.

I'd guess that advertiser cancellations has more to do with it than app deletions.

That makes sense, otherwise station would need to start fresh.

Also good on the hosts for not burning their bridges in their twitter post-firing twitter pronouncements.

I am glad for the maintaining of local content and coverage, and especially for the evening hosts. But I will continue to never intentionally listen to the garbage morning show of Travis Justice and Heather Burnside. Now that they have jobs back they can be legitimately criticized again.

Well they should have realized that before. Central Iowa has been die hard loyal to KxNo.

Glad everything turned out ok. On the positive side, all these shows are now more popular than they've ever been thanks to all the controversy.

Yep, was a rough thing to go through for them personally but for their actual shows it was probably a very good thing for them.

I liked 106.3, that part disappoints me

According to the ratings you and 3 others like that station.

It’s like walking in to the worst bar I can think of in 2005.

The signal sucks outside of the metro when the sun goes down.

How awesome, great job central Iowa advertisers!

FIFY

If that is what happened... That has to be terribly awkward and feel very insecure for the people brought back, right? If they have one foot out the door on you, I would think you would be plotting your own next move with one foot out the door...

If I was fired and the employer had to come back and rehire me 3 days later, I wouldn’t feel insecure... I’d bring a wheelbarrow to work, Randy Marsh-style.

Use the iHeart app on your smartphone.

 

[capitalcityguy]

So does this mean all the haters are safe to come out again and will start posting again about how much all these local shows suck and they never listen (yet they always seem to have a current opinion) ....

 

[Boxerdaddy]

I know they won't....but just think how much that ad space would be worth on their first episodes back!

The signal sucks when the sun is up at times. It sucks in DSM at night also.

Is now a good time to demand a raise...?? That would take some snow capped Tegridy.
