February can't get here soon enough for the OKC radio community.
On January 17th – just a few days after iHeart radio laid off a bunch of on-air talent in the OKC market – Cumulus Media made some staff cuts, parting ways with WILD 104.9 morning show hosts Mike Ipong and Maggie Flores, and other behind the scenes folks.
In addition to that, Jake "Opa" Trotter and former TLO alumnus Royce Young* were notified they would no longer be compensated for their call-in radio segments on The Sports Animal, which is probably why you no longer hear them calling into The Sports Animal.
This news was followed by locally owned radio conglomerate Tyler Media conducting a round of layoffs at their OKC radio properties yesterday.
According to The Ogle Mole Network, 107.7 The Franchise parted ways with morning show co-host Andrew Gilman, afternoon drive co-host Colby Daniels, and a former Thunder player with an extensive OSCN file – Desmond Mason.
