KOSY Lets Go of Scot, 'Scott and Erica'

"Scot" of Scott and Erica in the Morning, on KOSY 106.5 was quietly layed off from Clear Channel on December 8 of last month. According to Scot's personal blog, Clear Channel-Salt Lake City created a "new position," eliminating his current position at the station. He reapplied for the new position, but wasn't hired. Erica Hansen, who has worked with Scot at KOSY and KISN 97 for over half a decade, will continue to remain with KOSY. Scot says he hopes to find a position with another station the valley.

Internet theories explaining recent disappearances of long-time talent from Clear Channel stations across the country, all point to the recent sale of Clear Channel to private investors. Of note, former KBEE "B98.7" afternoon host Pat Gray disappeared from Clear Channel's talker KPRC in Houston, back in November. Gray left the Bee in 2001 to do mornings in the lone-star state. He has since landed a new position with crosstown 700 KSEV.
