KLOS-FM Fires Afternoon Hosts Kevin Ryder and Doug ‘Sluggo’ Roberts, Latest In Stream of Cuts at Owner Meruelo Media
The "Kevin & Sluggo Show" was missing Friday afternoon on Los Angeles' KLOS-FM, as hosts Kevin Ryder and Doug "Sluggo" Roberts were let go.
The decision to eliminate the afternoon drivetime slot at KLOS comes as owner Meruelo Media has made drastic cuts at several of its local radio stations, which also include KPWR-FM “Power 106,” KDAY-FM and KLLI-FM “Cali 93.9.” Ryder revealed the news of his and Roberts’ departure on Friday via social media, noting that earlier that day KLOS had strangely announced a “Where’s Kevin?” marketing campaign with Honda… right before letting him go. “Bringing Kevin Ryder on-board was a no-brainer, as this is the type of bold and disruptive move that delivers compelling voices and relevant content to our very deserving listeners.”
