Default KTRH Houston drops afternoon News Block

Today is the last day for an afternoon news block on Clear Channel's
KTRH Houston.

5-staffers will be laid off (fired): PM Drive news anchor Jerry Hudson,
who has been with the station "maybe" a year, and longtime reporters
Darryl Azar (State Capitol Office) and Gail DeLaughter. Not sure who
the other victims are.

The afternoon news block will be replaced from 1-3 with a talk show by
TV personality Deborah Duncan, and from 3-7 with Chris Baker who moves
over from co-owned KPRC.

So far the long-time Sports beat program continues in the evening but
Clear Channel will soon debut an all-sport format on am-790 KBME when it
drops its locally grown "music of your life" format.

See a separate post on CC's dumping 101-KLOL's rock format for Spanish
language programming.
