https://i0.wp.com/radioinsight.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/kmkt-200x200.jpg?resize=200%2C200&ssl=1Alpha Media has eliminated the majority of their local talent at their cluster in Sherman/Denison TX north of Dallas/Fort Worth.
At Country “93.1 Katy Country (https://www.931kmkt.com)” KMKT Bells, Zac Grantham exits as Content Director and morning host. Grantham had been with KMKT since 2013 after previously serving as Promotions Director and afternoon host right across the state line at Country 95.7 KKAJ Ardmore OK. Grantham also tracked nights at 97.9 KGNC Amarillo during his time at KMKT.
Alan Freemont is out as Content Director and afternoon host at AC “97.5 K-Lake (https://www.klake.com/)” KLAK Tom Bean. Freemont has been with KLAK since 2007 with time in mornings and afternoons and as Production Director. Freemont also has been heard on Westwood One’s Classic Hits and Classic Rock formats.
“Mad Rock 102.5 (https://www.madrock1025.com)” KMAD-FM Whitesboro loses afternoon host Scott Kilian. Cluster Operations Manager and KMAD-FM Content Director/morning host ‘Big Dave’ Hilton remains.
The stations were already running Westwood One network programming in all other dayparts.
The cuts follow similar purges made in May at Alpha Media clusters in Missouri (https://radioinsight.com/headlines/268399/alpha-media-makes-big-missouri-cuts/) and then in Iowa, Minnesota and South Dakota (https://radioinsight.com/headlines/269522/alpha-media-continues-to-purge-programming-on-air-staffs-in-midwest-markets/).
