They have been several layoffs at Tyler Media today. Jack Elliott from 1520 KOKC has been let go as well as Andrew Gilman and Colby Daniels from 107.7 The Franchise also has been let go.

Layoffs always suck for those involved, but oh man, that's a super, super tough break for Jack Elliott... He got laid off from Cumulus 3 years ago, when they dumped the Jack & Ron Morning Show from Fun 96.9.

Awww. Poor Jack. He has to be the single most crude, crass man child in all of radio in this town.

I got really tired of The Impeachment Hearing Coverage on both of my favorite local NPR stations. So, I tuned the dial to Alice (96.9) after skipping over some truly lame "Country" stations. Alice had a nice playlist. Good variety. Maybe tomorrow I'll go in search of that jazz station about which there are rumors.

With all of the posts about decline in local radio, on a positive note, UCO just moved Classical Music KUCO FM downtown a few weeks ago into a brand new studio at the Santa Fe Plaza:

For those that are old enough to remember, WKY-AM use to broadcast just across the street from the Skirvin Hotel, I think up until the late 50's?

I've continued to tune into 96.9 because they play what I consider to be a good mix of music from back when MTV was worth watching to more contemporary tunes. I have a question that is more about a technicality than content. Do stations like this somehow digitally remix or enhance the original versions of the music for broadcast? Many of the old songs seem much richer and fuller than I remember them to be in terms of boosted bass, enhanced drums, etc. b.t.w. I'm listening on an old school, factory installed, radio in an old Chevy truck. Just curious.

p.s. Does anyone remember that All Jazz All the Time station from back in the 80's or early 90's?

Someone in thread said it was 97.9 KTNT. Not sure if that's the one you were thinking of. OKC radio never had a plethora of true jazz stations. I do think KGOU still does the national broadcast of the John Pitzarelli (sp?) show.

My SweetHeart and I like to refer to Saturday Night as Radio Night. Even after Garrison "A Prairie Home Companion" Keillor was declared a non-person by the media powers that be up around Minnesota a few years ago. The programming on one of the local stations is pretty good: "Woodsongs Radio Hour" (Kentucky). . . "The Underground Martini Bunker" (Kansas City) . . . "Weekend Radio." (Cleveland). "Radio: The Theater of the Mind" =~)

p.s. Mark Shannon was one of the best.

last i heard radio deluxe with John Pitzarelli is on sunday night i believe at 8pm

Since I have been WFH, I haven't been listening to radio in the mornings. I just realized that Mike Steely and Jessi Stone are no longer on The Franchise. Disappointing - I can't listen to the guys on the other station.

Have you tried T-Row in the morning in 1400. Toby and TJ provide a quality sports talk show in the morning.
