Chris Little interview about KFI

Let me get this straight. The news guy thinks some news item is more important than the station's biggest stars interviewing a senator in afternoon drive and just has to break in; it can't wait five minutes until the next break.It was called the John and Ken show, not the Chris Little show. Of course John is going to be irate.

Modern day Less Nessman. He still doesn't seem to understand what they told him. KFI is an entertainment station, not a news station."But you're getting rid of a real independent news voice" he pleads, as if the City will be missing its food supply, not three minutes of ToH news on an AM radio station.

I think that was the fundamental change that happened when all those cuts were made. The decision was made to keep the live & local hosts. The station's in house news staff was sacrificed for that. It's not as though iHeart didn't have news people in LA. they have an entire news bureau there. But having a staff of people who only did news for KFI was something they could' t retain.

iHeart isn't the only company making these kinds of changes. iHeart's broadcasting division lost $100 million last year. That was after all of those cuts at KFI. That's why they're making more cuts now. Yes change sucks. But it happened, and they have to respond to it.
