They've also removed Tom Kent, AT 40: the 80's, and Beatle Brunch. This is awful, and I'm sure it'll get worse.

Also no more Awesome 80's Weekends. It's now 102.7 The Beach. The name is worse. It invites "The Joke" and "The B*tch" in mockery. Basically, it's the same format with a few different tunes. The magic really is gone. For this, they terminated all those people? And to drive more listeners away they are literally playing Blondie's The Tide Is High once every hour! How ridiculous is that? Too stupid for words! Could they have done a better job decimating the station? It hasn't been great the past few weeks but I think it was "better" yesterday.

So this is what they fired all those people for?

New jocks, and DJ Holiday, start on Monday. One of them is supposedly the morning guy from WKIS.

Exactly. But some at Facebook seem to like the new format. It'll be interesting to see what happens. To me, it's the ruination of a great station, to say nothing of the human toll.

DJ Holiday in the afternoons, and Pattie Moreno, the Latin Diva, from 8 to midnight weeknights. Pattie also happens to be the Program Director at the station.

They have set up a comment line and want positive and negative feedback. It's 305-521-5111. You can record your comments.

Pattie Moreno is gone. Wednesday was her last day. The Shark PD will supervise in the interim. No reason has yet been given. She lasted less than 6 months.

If Moreno was the one who decided to cut all those jobs, then glad to see hers got cut as well.

If Moreno was the one who decided to cut all those jobs, then glad to see hers got cut as well. Steve Young, who was one of the weekend hosts at Magic, and now does weekends at Lite FM, made this comment in December at a discussion of Magic at the Miami Herald: "Being one of those who was shown the door, Its not the program director who made this decision. It came from way up the chain of suits. She feels very bad having to make those phone calls and shutting the door with Mindy, Joe, and Vance to let them go." The article and comments are here: www.miamiherald.com/news/business/article48621735.html

He's the head of the South Florida branch of the company (at least last I heard, unless there's someone else calling shots)

OK, thanks, John. I still don't know any more details about Ms. Moreno's exit.
