Unexpected layoffs are affecting Audacy’s Country 106.5 The Wolf (WDAF-FM) in Kansas City as staffers post on via social media that their time with the station has ended.
Assistant Program Director and morning co-host Codie Allen shared on Facebook, “I’ve been trying to find the right words, but all I can think of is this…. it’s the closing of one chapter and beginning of the next. I’ve had a blessed radio career in KC, but sadly, the Codie and Zeke morning show had its final curtain today.”
Allen, who co-hosted mornings with Zeke Montana for four years, expressed gratitude and noted she is still processing the change.
Afternoon host Jeff “Shotgun” Jaxson also posted on Facebook, stating, "This afternoon will be my last show on 106-5 The Wolf. I knew it was coming eventually. It's been a hell of a ride! I moved here from Omaha and started at Q104 on November 1st 1992, then from December of 2006 until now, I've been on The Wolf. Never would I have imagined being on the air in Kansas City for 5 years, let alone 33! That's like 100 years in DJ years! Kansas City, you've been very, very good to me and I can't tell you how much I appreciate the chance I've had to be a small part of so many lives over the years. Maybe you called in on Passion Phones back in the day and dedicated a song to your crush or "dropped your pants, did the dance, and sung along" to the Top 4 @ 9 song."
