Alpha Media has recently made significant cuts in at least two of its Missouri markets. Let me share some details with you:

Farmington/Festus Cluster:

  • Country “J98” KTJJ
  • Talkers 800 KREI and 1400 KJFF
  • All but one on-air host has departed from these stations.

Among the exits:

  • Mark Toti, the morning host at KTJJ, had been with the stations since 1983. He previously held positions as News Director, Sports Director, and Program Director during his tenure.
  • Louie Seiberlich, the morning host at KREI, spent an impressive 46 years at the station1.

Moberly Cluster:

  • Christian AC “Glory 97.3” KTCM
  • Classic Hits “99.9 The Captain” KIRK
  • Country 104.7 KRES
  • News/Talk 1230 KWIX / 92.5 KWIX-FM
  • Unconfirmed reports suggest that the entire content team was let go.

Among the departures:

  • Brad Boyer, who most recently served as cluster Content Director, had a remarkable 38-year run at the cluster.
  • Other exits included news and sports reporters: JB Connelly, Steven Finley, Austin Ward, and Colin Schowe
