NM Radio: After 13 Years Buck & Dex OUT At KTEG

iHeartMedia this week parted company with Buck and Dex. And according to KRQE News13 many fans are wondering why.

The news came as a shock to many, including Aaron Buck Burnett and Dex Toth. They say, after more than 13 years on KTEG 104.1 FM The Edge, it’s difficult to let go.

“It’s going to be weird not being there with these people, you know, with our army,” said Burnett.

“It’s tough, you know. The Edge is embedded in me. It’s going to be hard to let that go and start over somewhere else,” Toth said.

The two say they received an email to meet with their bosses after their morning show on Monday. When the two got to the studio, they say the general manager was there with two envelopes. The pair says iHeartMedia was reorganizing the station and they wouldn’t be a part of that.

They say it was like a dream, but reps with iHeartMedia say they put a lot of thought into their decision. They told KRQE News 13 this really began more than six months ago while analyzing the show.

“I thank Buck and Dex for their years of service and the job they did and it’s time to move forward for all of us, and we provided them with a nice severance package, if they choose to take it and we move on,” said iHeartMedia Regional President Chuck Hammond.
