L-A Radio: Entercom Boots Kevin In The Morning From KROQ

Gone from KROQ-FM

Entercom Alternative KROQ 106.7 FM Los Angeles has first it morning show.

The move comes just months after the November 2019 departure of longtime co-host Gene 'Bean' Baxter and just days after longtime PD Kevin Weatherly left to join Sportify.

The retitled morning show also featured co-hosts Allie MacKay and Jensen Karp. All were dismissed Tuesday, along with producer Dave Sanchez, Ruben, Beer Mug, and Destiny Lopez.

Hey party people! Not sure how to say this, so here it is:
Yesterday, @kroq called every one of us on the morning show and told us we were fired.

Met some great people, saw some awesome bands, laughed a lot with cool ass coworkers. Is the timing ideal? Not even a little....but I’m lucky. I’ve got amazing people in my corner. Thank you all. Truly. ❤️❤️❤️ pic.twitter.com/gEP084ucWA

The show originally debuted on KROQ on December 31, 1989, when it hosted the annual countdown of the year's best songs.

In February 2015 the Kevin and Bean show let go of long-time contributors, Lisa May and Boyd R. Britton (Doc on the ROQ). May started as a traffic reporter on the program and had grown to become a key contributor of the Kevin and Bean Show during her 24 years with the program, while Doc had been providing the news for 27 years. Kevin and Bean explained that management had made it clear audiences were not tuning in to KROQ for traffic or news, so the painful decision was made to make changes to the show. Allie Mac Kay later joined the show to help fill the role lost by the exit of May.

On April 14, 2015, Kevin and Bean were inducted into the National Association of Broadcasters Hall of Fame.

On March 6, 2019, declaring "Thirty years is a good time to stop," Bean announced that he would leave the show before the end of the year and move to England. His last day on the air was November 7, 2019.
