Seattle Radio: Elise Woodward OUT At Sports KJR-AM

Elise Woodward

Elise Woodward, a longtime on-air personality at iHeartMedia's KJR 950 AM sports radio, was fired from her midday show on Friday, according to The Seattle Times.

Woodward co-hosted the program “10@10 with Elise and Jerry” with Seattle Times columnist Jerry Brewer. The program is in the midst of changing direction, with Brewer continuing the two-hour weekday segment from 10 a.m. to noon.

“We appreciate all the contributions that Elise did here during the time with us,” said Rich Moore, KJR’s program director. “We are going forward with a tentative show right now around Jerry Brewer.”

Woodward, who played basketball at Washington, started at KJR in 2002 and began hosting “Elise at Night” in 2008. She first moved to afternoons as a co-host with Mike Gastineau. When Gastineau retired in 2012, KJR moved to the “Elise and Jerry” format.

Woodward has been a sideline reporter for UW football games since 2003 and will remain in the position on KOMO. She is also expected to continue her position as color analyst for UW women’s basketball home games on 1150 AM KKNW.

Woodward declined to comment on the change. A source said the move surprised her and Brewer.
