Radio Out and About

As far as radio ousters go in Minnesota, this one was a bit unexpected... KSTP-FM/Hubbard has shown Staci & Hutch the door. Staci Matthews had been with the station since 2003 when "Moon & Staci" launched. Hutch joined in 2019 after Larry "Moon" Thompson retired.

 

No real word from Hubbard other than contracts were not renewed, and on the search for the next great afternoon show.

I consider that a shocker too, considering that Hubbard WPB has been renewing contracts with some of their radio shows down here, including my all-time favorite radio show... The KVJ Show on 97.9 WRMF.

 

And for the first time, they renewed for the next FIVE years, meaning they'll be on until 2031 (32 years on air, 17 years on WRMF when the next contract ends).
