Newsradio KARN 102.9 FM seems to be undergoing some unexpected changes with the departure of three well known radio hosts.

Dave Elswick has announced via social media that he has been let go from Cumulus Media, along with morning host Bob Steel and News Director Jack Heinritz.

There is no word at this time who will replace the hosts.

The schedule on KARN's web page currently lists paid programming between 5:30 a.m. and 9:00 a.m. and between 2:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m.

The following is the statement on Facebook from Elswick:
"I ask for your prayers tonight. After nearly 14 years on KARN I was fired by Cumulus Media. Bob Steel and News Director Jack Heinritz were also fired. I have no idea what will be on the station tomorrow. Know that I love everyone of you who have supported me over these years. God Bless"
