Member-supported Denver radio station jazz89 KUVO is letting go two popular
hosts to cut expenses and buttress against a rough-looking 2009.

Ed Danielson and Rodney Franks will lose their shows next month, and two
part-time positions in the donor development office will be eliminated, the
public radio station's president and chief executive, Gene Craven, told
listeners in an e-mail Tuesday.

Danielson is the host of "The Morning Beat" from 6 to 9 a.m., and Franks
hosts "Drive Time Jazz" each afternoon from 4 to 6.

The worsening economy and new expenses are to blame, Craven said in the
e-mail.

Danielson and Franks will continue to be substitute hosts at the station, as
well as work on a proposed online program next year.
