https://radioinsight.com/wp-content/images/2024/03/puckjim-200x200.jpgMidday hosts Jason ‘Puck’ Puckett and Jim Moore have exited iHeartMedia Sports 93.3 KJR-FM (https://933kjr.iheart.com) Seattle in a move only partially related to the recent layoffs (https://radioinsight.com/headlines/266140/cuts-this-week-at-iheartmedia/) at the company.
Puckett noted that he had been off the air for the past three weeks while negotiating a new contract with the company. After getting an offer he thought was agreeable last Monday, he found out the next day that the company had laid off Moore. He wrote, “The timing of the move left me angry, sad, confused and
conflicted. Since last Thursday I have grappled with what direction to go in. Many, many sleepless nights has led to my decision to part ways with the station and not seek a new contract.”
The duo had hosted 10am to 1pm together since October 2021. Puckett had been with KJR-FM and predecessor 950 KJR since 2002 in multiple roles including morning show producer and hosting middays with multiple partners as well as solo. Moore joined the station in October 2021 after previously spending eleven years co-hosting afternoons at Bonneville’s “710 ESPN” KIRO and serving as a writer for their SeattleSports.com. He also spent 26 years as a Sports columnist for the Seattle Post-Intelligencer.
