T.J. Evans, Shotgun Jackson Both Out

As we are all recovering from post-election night hangovers, a boat load of news has happened over the past few days. Users of the Utah Forum for Radio are reporting that long-time KUBL "K-Bull" (93.3 FM) disc jockey T.J. Evans is no longer with the station. Additionally, "Shotgun Jackson" (the station's fourth or fifth DJ of that name) is also out. The station has been mum about what happened. Listener speculations range from T.J. and Shotgun leaving for other opportunities, to being fired in a "K-Bull Scandal." Check out the forums for more opinion.

KTCE Payson (92.1 FM) has dropped it's simulcast of KUUU "U92" (92.5 FM). The station is now running a Hot AC format under the moniker "92.1 The Edge." One reader described it as a sort of "Star 102.7" format. Before 102.7 FM became a simulcast for KSL 1160, "Star" had been a Hot AC format with an emphasis on current music and nineties pop.

More "HD" signals have come on-line: Clear Channel has taken it's cluster of stations digital with KODJ "Oldies 94.1" (94.1 FM), KZHT "97.1 ZHT" (97.1 FM), KJMY "My 99.5" (99.5 FM), and KXRV "The River" (105.7 FM) all going digital with side "HD-2" channel programming as well. However, most of us don't have a receiver, so it's still not clear what the "HD-2" programming is. Citadel's KBER "K-Bear" (FM 101.1" has also gone digital in recent days.
