“Business Decisions” Mean Cox Cuts In San Antonio

Sellers

The latest round of shocking cuts, which occurred less than a week ago, include (but are not limited to) KONO staple Steven O. Sellers  (47-years in radio) and Magic 105 lovely, Katrina Curtiss.

S.A. rock vet Tom T-Bone Scheppke of X106.7 (KTKX-FM), who, previously, had spent many years at KISS and KZEP, also got the ax, according to Jeanne Jakle at mysantonio.com.

Of course, none of these longtime voices got the opportunity to say goodbye to their loyal listeners.

What was at the root of the changes?   Dan Lawrie, vice president and market manager of Cox Media Group, said Thursday that it was “a business decision.” In other words, the cuts weren’t  performance related.

That was indeed confirmed by Sellers, who said he got a cheery exit interview that emphasized how great his ratings.

Sellers said he’ll miss his friends and audience. After getting his start at KONO-AM, he then hopped around the country a bit to larger markets before landing back in San Antonio and at the ‘greatest hits’ station 13 years ago.

His latest KONO gig was the prime afternoon shift – 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. That’s now being handled by Steve Casanova.
