After 21 years with Hubbard’s “My Talk 107.1” KTMY Coon Rapids/Minneapolis, Alexis Thompson has departed mornings at the station in a budget cut.
Thompson has been teamed with Jason Matheson during her entire tenure at the station with the duo rising from weekends to afternoons and then mornings in 2013. Matheson told listeners this morning that Hubbard declined to renew Thompson’s contract.
In a statement to BringMeTheNews.com, Hubbard said, “Radio is changing. The radio business is still strong, but it is changing. The audio landscape is evolving, and we have been challenged to run our operations more efficiently going forward. We have nothing but the utmost respect for Alexis’ grace, professionalism, and her many contributions to myTalk 107.1. Future plans for the morning show are not clear. The next few weeks we will work with Jason and producer Holly Roberts to chart a new course. The remainder of the myTalk 107.1 schedule remains unchanged.”
