Format Change Coming to Power 105.1 KC's Hip Hop and R&B as Entire On Air Staff Exits
A blowout has happened at Power 105.1 (KCJK-FM) in Kansas City as Shay Moore and PD/Midday Jowcol ‘Boogie D’ Dolby are confirmed to be no longer with the station. Ivani and Jess Live's exit has not been confirmed.
Cumulus Media, which owns Power 105.1, is in the midst of a nationwide staff downsizing across the country, therefore a format change and staff exits are not a surprise. Kansas City which had two hip hop, the other one being Hot 103 Jamz (KPRS-FM) which is owned by Carter Broadcast Group, the oldest black owned and family operated radio broadcast company in the United States, had performed better ratings wise in the market. In today's media landscape, two similarly formatted urban stations in the same market, unless it's in Washington, D.C., Chicago, and Atlanta, is rare.
This is a developing story. Come back and check for updates.
