Mereulo Media has converted a number of their previous furloughs into layoffs at their Los Angeles stations.
Rock 95.5 KLOS Los Angeles was strongly affected on the on-air side with Frosty Stillwell departing as co-host of the now just “Heidi & Frank” morning show. Stillwell had rejoined his previous co-hosts Heidi Hamilton and Frank Kramer in August 2016. Stillwell and Kramer were first paired together at the launch of “Alice 106” KALC Denver in 1994. They along with Jaime White would then be transferred to “Star 98.7” KYSR Los Angeles in 1998 and syndicated back to Denver. The duo would be let go the following year and joined Hot Talk 97.1 KLSX in 2000 along with Hamilton. After the station’s flip to CHR in 2009, they had a brief run at 790 KABC. Kramer and Hamilton joined KLOS for mornings in 2012, while Stillwell worked in San Francisco including a run in mornings at Hot AC “Star 101.3” KIOI before joining KLOS himself in 2016.
Gary Moore departs afternoons at KLOS. Moore returned to KLOS in 2009 after a previous stint hosting nights ended a couple years prior. Moore also has hosted mornings at 93.1 KCBS-FM and served as a reporter for 1070 KNX in Los Angeles among other national and digital positions in his career.
Also departing KLOS are weekendsers Frazer Smith and Jim Daniels. Missing from the station’s website, but whose exits are unconfirmed are evening host Greg Beharrell and The Sex Pistol’s Steve Jones, whose “Jonesy’s Jukebox” aired Fridays at noon.
At Spanish Rhythmic “Cali 93.9” KLLI, Jessica Flores has exited as evening host. Flores joined KLLI as part of its first morning show last September and moved to evenings in January. Flores previously worked as a producer and host at KPWR and on-air at Radio Disney. She is a singer/songwriter and social influencer and previously served as Music and Entertainment Partnerships Manager for Latin America for Musical.ly (now Tik Tok).
We have not confirmed any cuts at Classic Hip-Hop 93.5 KDAY or Rhythmic CHR “Power 106” KPWR.
