Scott 'Special K' Corchin |
Clear Channel Media + Entertainment has released more than a handful of its employees nationwide this week, including some on-air staffers. Chicago was not spared the budget ax, as popular nighttime personality Scotty Kay, aka Special K, is now gone from WKSC-FM/103.5 Kiss FM. He was released on Wednesday, according to Chicagoland Radio & Media.
In addition to being a highly-rated DJ for 103.5 Kiss FM, Scotty Kay was also the station's Music Director.
Making this move even more of a surprise is the fact that Scotty Kay's ratings were beating those of rival WBBM-FM/B96 in the all ages numbers, the 25-54 demographic, and the stations' target demo of 18-34 year olds.
On top of his two jobs at Chicago 's WKSC-FM, Special K voice-tracked shows for Clear Channel radio stations in smaller markets, such as Austin , TX . Those stations now find themselves down one DJ, as well.
Yesterday's surprise release of Scotty Kay, aka Special K, aka Scott Corchin (his true name), creates a pair of vacancies for the Chicago station. A search is now on for a replacement DJ/MD. For now, weekender "ErikZ" is filling in for the vacated weeknight shift.
