Today was the last day on air for Talk 107.3 radio hosts Kevin Gallagher, Bill Profita and Clarence Buggs, who have been let go by Guaranty Media.

quote:

Guaranty Media Vice President and General Manager Gordy Rush confirms the move was a business decision. He says the AM Baton Rouge show will stay local with Talk 107.3’s Brian Haldane hosting, while the rest of the daily lineup will remain. The station will pick up Fox News Radio’s Brian Kilmeade Show.

I enjoyed listening to Kevin & Bill in the morning and I hope they continue to keep a local show, but this seems like a move to eventually have all syndicated programming.

I really... enjoy listening to a man... like Clarence Buggs... discuss the issues of the day... with a conservative perspective... and with an eloquence that only a man of character... like him... can bring to the radio waves... of Baton Rouge.... He will be missed... and not forgotten.

Removing local personalities is going to impact their local advertising

When 1150 did this they lost audience to 107.3

Local radio is dying with podcasts and other options people have. It’s something old people listen to. I enjoyed all three of those gentlemen at one point or another and wish them well, especially Kevin.

Always amazed the way radio just cuts personalities without any real forewarning to the audience.

Believe me, they didn’t have any forewarning either. 10 minutes to pack their shite and get escorted off of the premises...

They were the only radio show that would bring in local officials and talk about local issues. This sucks

Guaranty feels awfully incestuous. They fired Haldane from Profita's show for Gallagher, Haldane ends up on 104.5 and now they've fired Gallagher & Profita for Haldane.
