The fallout continues at Citadel Media as the company moves to cut costs on the sales and programming sides. The latest victim is “The Brian McKnight Show” which will end it’s short syndication run with the network on January 22, 2010. The show airs on 98.7 Kiss FM in New York and through out the country on “The Touch” urban AC format stations in smaller markets.McKnight who added the evening show targeted to urban AC and smooth jazz stations to his portfolio- which includes a morning show on KTWV in Los Angeles and a newly syndicated late night television show-in January.
There is no word yet as to the future of the syndicated radio show with another syndication company or it’s co-host, former WRKS New York “Kissing After Dark” host Lenny Green. The change follows the cancellation of “The Doug Banks Show” which was announced earlier this month.
Never really understood the reason for a “Slow Jams/Quiet Storm” show needing two male voices? Unless there is always a need for a professional radio host to make sure things run smoothly over the air… Look for co-host Lenny Green to re-claim the night time slot at 98.7 Kiss FM.
