The 45-year-old Barks had been on KMJ since 2005 when she took over for
evening on-air talk show host Jaz McKay when he resigned.
There's no word on whether Barks' show was canceled or she
resigned because Patty Hixson, vice president and general manager of Peak
Broadcasting, owner of KMJ, had no comment on the matter and the Fresno Bee
reports Barks did not respond to requests for comment.
Barks' KMJ broadcast originated from her hometown of Bakersfield , where she
also had a daily talk program on KERN 1180 AM 1180. She got a new radio home in
Bakersfield a
month ago taking over the 3-5 p.m. time slot at crosstown talk radio station
rival, KNZR AM 1560 / FM 97.7. Barks now follows McKay on KNZR.
KNZR vice president and general manager Mary Lou Gunn said
the change of Bakersfield stations had nothing
to do with Barks leaving the Fresno
airwaves.
It's been a rocky year for Barks. In March, she was off theair at KMJ for more than a week following her arrest in Bakersfield on charges of disorderly conduct.
The case is still pending.
