Sacramento radio host Walt Gray said he was laid off from KSEG 96.9 FM The Eagle Wednesday after finishing his morning show.
"There were a number of people across the station who were let go today - good people in several departments," he told sacbee.com. "They're cutting costs," Gray said. "They have to do what they feel is right for them going forward. ... I wish it could have gone differently."
He noted that his partner on the radio show, Kat Maudru, was also let go. She had been an Eagle personality for 23 years.

Kevin Geary, a spokesman for The Eagle's parent company, Entercom Communications Corp., declined to specify how many people were let go at the Sacramento station.
Gray joined The Eagle on Oct. 22 to co-host a classic rock show. Previously he worked at KCRA Channel 3 for 25 years as a news anchor.
"I would love to remain in broadcasting, certainly," Gray said Wednesday. "Television has always been a favorite."
Geary said The Eagle will be "music intensive" in the morning while the company looks for Gray's replacement.
