More Cumulus Cuts Underway
• RAMP has learned that Cumulus is undergoing another round of restructuring, the extent of which is as yet unknown, resulting in the departure of several longtime employees:
• Houston: Kevin Quinn exits as APD/afternoon co-host at Top 40 104.1 KRBE after 14 years. Quinn joined KRBE in August 2013 following a 16-month stint as APD/MD/morning host at Hot AC WINK/Ft. Myers FL. Since 2022, Quinn’s pm drive co-host has been Audrey Rose, who is now rolling solo. In a video posted to Instagram, an emotional Quinn sat in his car and listened to his equally emotional co-host Audrey Rose break the news of his departure.
• Nashville: Brian Wilson is out at WWTN (SuperTalk 99.7) after nearly eight years. Wilson is probably best known for his stretch as senior correspondent and anchor for the Fox News Channel and as a co-anchor of the FOX 5 Morning News on WTTG-TV/Washington. Prior to joining WWTN as morning host in early 2018 Wilson co-hosted Mornings On The Mall on WMAL/Washington.
Wilson shared his news in a Facebook post that reads, in part, “I have been notified that effective 11/15 I will no longer be associated with SuperTalk 997 WTN. My last appearance was this morning with Dan Mandis. The parting was not something I expected, but it was not acrimonious. We part as friends. I am nevertheless saddened at the news. I have truly enjoyed my time at WTN and thank Cumulus for allowing me to serve on this amazing radio platform.”
• Minneapolis: Shannon Knight exits overnights/weekends at Active Rock KXXR (93X). Knight previously hosted nights at Classic Rock 92.5 KQRS from 2018 until April 2025 when she transitioned over to KXXR. Knight also confirmed her exit via social post.
• As always in cases like this, if you or a colleague have been similarly affected by this downsizing and would like to share your contact info with potential future employers, email Kevin@RAMP247.com.
