Mike Jimenez is no longer part of San Antonio’s Sports Star. He took to social media on Tuesday to announce that he had been let go and the mid day show had been eliminated.
“I found out this morning that I was getting laid off,” he said in a video posted on Twitter. “I got the news about an hour ago and I was actually prepping for my show at the time when I got the news.”
He noted that this does not create a financial burden for him. He has run a successful financial practice out of his home for nearly two decades.
Jimenez says there is one change the move creates that he isn’t happy about.
“The one thing I’m going to miss the most about being in San Antonio’s Sports Star, is the fact that they gave me an excuse to be sociable all over again. Having a financial practice, especially one that is at home, can be kind of lonely sometimes. And it was nice interacting and having work friends all over again. That’s the one thing I’m going to miss the most, but I’m in a good place. I have no financial worries or anything like that.”
He was the co-host of Jimenez & Spence with PD Tim Spence. He noted that he has no hard feelings to any of his bosses or co-workers and wishes them the best as they move forward.
“I understand it’s not personal. It was business. And that’s the economics of being in radio.”
