Another big cut has come out of Cumulus Media’s cutbacks in addition to the dissolution of Westwood One News as the company has announced the cancellation of The Blair Garner Show to affiliates.
Westwood One told affiliates that The Blair Garner Show will end on Sunday, August 9. The company will transition affiliates to “The Lia Show” to run from 12-5am afterwards. Lia has been in syndication since 1998 and previously worked at KRPM Seattle and KXDD Yakima WA.
Garner joined Cumulus in 2013 to anchor “America’s Morning Show” on its “Nash-FM” Country stations. He moved to the overnight show in August 2016 succeeding Kix Brooks. Prior to joining Cumulus, Garner hosted the syndicated “After Midnite” for Premiere Networks for 20 years. He also hosted afternoons at 95.5 WPLJ New York as ‘Skye Walker’ and at 102.7 KIIS-FM Los Angeles as ‘Blair Michaels’.
