Citadel Media (Formally ABC Radio) Cuts

X

X-Man

Those cuts have affected the Urban AC format The Touch as well, morning host Ray Cooper and co-host Lady D are out. No word on who will take over mornings at The Touch but word has it after Doug & DeDe and Brian McKnight are gone that Sean Andre and Ron Chavis both from KRNB 105.7/Dallas-Fort Worth will fill the afternoon and evening shifts on the format via voicetracking.
 
Wow, just glad they didn't cut "The Touch" altogether! I like Ray Cooper who goes back many days to "Heart and Soul" and "Solid Gold Soul" with ABC Radio but in truth very few stations ran the morning show, in fact I can't name a single one, every touch affiliate I know runs TJMS, it has been like this for years.
 
The one I know that carried The Touch morning show were KMLK-101.5 in El Dorado, AR, WBCP AM 1580 in Champaign, IL and WDXR AM 1450 in Paducah, KY. Other than that not many Touch affiliates aired the morning show, most of the either aired Tom Joyner or Steve Harvey.
 
Thanks for the info. Those are 3 very small market stations, it is not surprising that Citadel doesn't think that justifies a separate morning show for the Touch.
