Changes at KILT

T

TheBigA

Sad to report that Chris Huff, PD at KILT, and Erin Austin, mid-day host, are among the casualties as part of Entercom's company-wide cuts:

Austin's mid-day slot will be filled by a national show hosted by Katie Neal of WNSH New York. There will also be a new national night show coming from Detroit:

Meanwhile, all of the company’s 21 country radio stations will carry national shows in middays and nights. Katie Neal from WNSH New York will anchor middays across the platform. A “Superstar Power Hour” will be part of the midday block, featuring a different music artist as co-host for a week, starting next week with Luke Bryan.

Having big name artists as co-hosts will “drive a better listener experience through contact with the artists they love on a daily basis,” said Roberts. The ACM Award winning duo of Rob Stone and Holy Hutton from WYCD Detroit will host nights across the 21 stations.

Roberts said the country stations will “continue to have a live and local presence in morning drive” and that afternoons will have either a regional host or a local talent.

Apparently being replaced by national content middays and at night. The Bull might want to hide that fact, lest they give 93Q something to beat them with. Of course, Cox is probably heading in the same direction, given the current economic challenges for radio.
 
The fact is The Bull has been running un-hosted music from 7PM to 5AM. So this change will add some human voices to that daypart.

KKBQ is running Lia off the bird at night, and I'm almost certain middays are mostly voicetracked.

It sounds like the Entercom Country stations will be provided programming workparts for middays and nights as the PR releases seem to indicate that each station will maintain its own music playlist. Or is some of this going to be linear, live shows from elsewhere?
