Cox Media Group has ended The Mark Kaye Show — which aired from noon-3 PM — on its news/talk stations around the nation.
In a memo to staffers obtained by Barrett News Media, Cox Media Group Jacksonville Vice President and Market Manager Jimmy Farrell said “Earlier today we let Mark Kaye know that we’re no longer continuing with The Mark Kaye Show. The show’s last airing was today. Moving forward, we’re excited to transition to The Erick Erickson Show weekdays from 12 – 3 PM.”
Like Mark Kaye, Erickson’s show originates from a Cox Media Group station, 95.5 WSB in Atlanta.
Kaye’s program — based in Jacksonville on 104.5 WOKV — was heard on Cox Media Group stations in Dayton, Tulsa, and Augusta, among others. The show was launched into national syndication as a replacement for stations that had previously aired Rush Limbaugh in the noon-3 PM timeslot.
On social media, Kaye teased a “new era” of the program “begins soon.” In addition to his nationally syndicated radio show, the host also featured a video simulcast on YouTube, which currently holds more than 30,000 subscribers.
I will pick longer listen to 104.5. Loved Mark Kaye.
I will longer listen?
I listened to WOKV for hours each day to catch Mark’s show. I guess I need a new station now until he starts streaming or whatever. I’m not sure why they want to turn away listeners like that.
Those COX-uckers have made a big mistake.
Disappointed. Loved Mark Kaye. Erik Erickson is a DUD. I switch channels when I hear his voice. Won’t tune in for him.
Big big mistake..I will no.longer listen Mark and Hannah are the best.. terrible decision
Why???
You had a great program with Mark Kaye!!! Why in the world would you mess with that? Eric Erickson is a DUD!!!! I always change the channel when I hear his voice!!! Mark and his crew are awesome!!! Big Mistake!!!! I hope it costs you big time!!!! But rest assured I won’t be tuning in any longer!!! Mark was informative and at the same time wonderfully entertaining!!! Bye Bye WOKV!!!!!
I’m conservative and enjoyed most of Mark’s commentary–but his parroting of Kremlin lies about Ukraine was pretty annoying. Whether he did it knowingly, or simply accepted Tucker Carlson’s “redistribution”, it was a point-by-point duplication of Russian propaganda.
I look forward to Mark’s show, what a mistake
