Scott 'Special K' Corchin |
Clear Channel Media + Entertainment has released more than a
handful of its employees nationwide this week, including some on-air staffers. Chicago was not spared
the budget ax, as popular nighttime personality Scotty Kay, aka Special K, is
now gone from WKSC-FM/103.5 Kiss FM. He was released on Wednesday, according to
Chicagoland Radio & Media.
In addition to being a highly-rated DJ for 103.5 Kiss FM,
Scotty Kay was also the station's Music Director.
Making this move even more of a surprise is the fact that
Scotty Kay's ratings were beating those of rival WBBM-FM/B96 in the all ages
numbers, the 25-54 demographic, and the stations' target demo of 18-34 year
olds.
On top of his two jobs at Chicago 's
WKSC-FM, Special K voice-tracked shows for Clear Channel radio stations in smaller
markets, such as Austin , TX . Those stations now find themselves down
one DJ, as well.
Yesterday's surprise release of Scotty Kay, aka Special K,
aka Scott Corchin (his true name), creates a pair of vacancies for the Chicago station. A search
is now on for a replacement DJ/MD. For now, weekender "ErikZ" is
filling in for the vacated weeknight shift.
