After twenty years at Bay Area Hip Hop radio station KMEL
106.1 FM, morning show host Chuy Gomez was abruptly ousted on Thursday.
Caught by surprise, the 44 year old on-air legend Gomez was
called into a meeting at the offices of Clear Channel on Townsend Street in front of his bosses
and the general manager and immediately knew where that was going.
Where the station was going would not involve Gomez.
When Live 105′s Steve Masters referred to the rumors of the
ousting was due to “budget reasons,” Gomez said “…they didn’t blatantly say “we
fired you because we got no money for you.” They just said “change of
direction, bro!”
On Tuesday, Chuy Gomez visited friends and colleagues at CBS
Radio and Fernando &
Greg on CBS Radio’s KMVQ 99.7 NOW. Gomez recounts what happened and his outlook
on the future.
