Alpha Cuts
Alpha Cuts: Alpha continues to make cuts, this time in Iowa and South Dakota. Among those exiting is KIAI/Mason City, IA Dir./Content and morning host Britt Bailey. "I am so grateful for my manager taking a chance on me to be one of the first solo women morning shows in north Iowa, and the great colleagues and loyal listeners that came with the position," she posted. Bailey re-joined the station in 2020 (CAT 8/23/20) following time at WKTI/Milwaukee. Reach her here.
Also exiting is Mason City cluster Dir./Promotions Jared Allen, who was also Dir./Content for three other stations in the cluster that he joined in 2006. His previous stops include Crawfordsville, IN and Bloomington, IL.
Classic Country KDLO/Watertown, SD Dir./Content and morning host John Seiber exits after 14 years with the station. "My only regret is that I didn’t get a chance to say goodbye on air to KDLO Country listeners," he shared. The cuts come on heels of multiple staff cuts at the company's Missouri stations last week (CAT 5/8).
