CLEAR CHANNEL TOSSES OUT KISS-FM HISPANIC DJ, 'FLIP' IN STORE FOR STATION

Word is Clear Channel going to introduce an all new KISS-FM on November 15 and has started plastering billboards across town to "flip" the station. The rumor is that call letters 106.1 will flip with (alternative) KDGE 102.1. But these are just rumors. Most likely KISS-FM will gain new marketing and new evening programming.

Until then Clear Channel is tossing out a few extra employees. This week a Latino employee got their "unexpected" pink slips. Midday host Cruz and late night DJ Gina Lee Fuentez were shown the door. This also follows Clear Channel's killing of the long-running "Adventure Club" with Josh Venable, who got the axe last week.

Then again, this is radio folks - a natural thing, especially in the age of iPods and podcasts.

Cruz is not Latino. He was given the name Cruz when he started at Kiss FM by the station. His real name is Jeff Miles.
