KFI Los Angeles axes entire News Department
RAMP has learned that News-Talk KFI-AM 640/Los Angeles has disbanded its entire 22-person news department, including longtime News Director (and 30-year station veteran) Chris Little, along with anchor Jo Kwon, reporters Kris Adler and Corbin Carson, and Editor Erin Ben-Moche, amid rumblings that iHeart’s 24/7 News Network will now supply content. Little confirmed this mass layoff in an Instagram post.
These departures follow last Friday’s exit of longtime KFI Program Director Robin Bertolucci and her husband, Don Martin, EVP of Programming for iHeartMedia Sports and PD of KLAC (AM 570 LA Sports).
This latest KFI news was originally reported by Barrett Media and independently confirmed by RAMP.
