[JPL] "jazz89 KUVO" public radio laying off two hosts

[MFA - Jazz Radio Promotion, Publicity & Consulting]

Wow!  This is so sad...I didn't realize things were so tight at KUVO!   
Both Ed and Rodney are almost institutions on the Denver airwaves and  
a significant part of the KUVO "sound."  I am really sorry to learn  
this.  Horrible way to end a terrible year.

As published in the Christmas Eve edition of the Denver Post. We will
continue to air jazz in the slots of the 2 hosts' slots as we change and
lengthened the shifts of the remaining staff and volunteer on air  
hosts.  Ed
and Rodney are our long time AM & PM drive time hosts.  Arturo

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.
