RadioInsight reports:
1. “100.7 The Wolf” KKWF has added Gabe Mercer to its “Morning Wolfpack” led by Matt McAllister.
Mercer will continue to
2. host 10am-12pm on both KKWF and (3) 107.9 KMLE Phoenix. She was intern at 710 KIRO before joining Audacy Phoenix in multiple roles including Promotions Coordinator and Sales Assistant in addition to on-air roles.
I would hope she is getting the pay of at least 2 people but I highly doubt that.

Text to airstaff company-wide: “We love you all and want to offer you the chance for real financial security, so effective 9/1 airstaff payroll is cut 30% across the board. We guess a third of you will bail on the spot and we are offering vacant shifts to those peppy and perky go-getters who submit lowest bid, as in “I’ll work for $9 per hour” might get to stay on whereas $9.50 would show lack of motivation, so “out ya go”. Bid six 10-hour shifts a week on maybe 20 different stations, and that’s $630 Every Damn Week with o.t., over thirty grand a year – – good dough for radio, ya gotta admit! As we like to say, “we love ya!!”
Interesting layoffs and hirings at Audacy.
