WBAP host Chris Krok is no longer with the Cumulus Media Dallas station after more than 12 years with the station, sources close to the situation confirm to Barrett Media.
Krok hosted the 8 PM-Midnight show at the station. He had previously spent two years in afternoons at sister station KLIF before moving to WBAP.
His exit coincides with a recent social media post that received pushback. Krok shared a meme about the wildfires in Los Angeles that said “LA County: 72 genders, 0 operational fire hydrants.”
In addition to his time at WBAP and KLIF in Dallas, Chris Krok also has hosted at WSB in Atlanta and KSTP in the Twin Cities, among other stops.
On social media, Krok confirmed his departure.
“Friends and family, I’m no longer with WBAP 820 AM. It’s been an amazing 15-year run at the biggest news/talk station in America’s 4th largest market,” he wrote. “We’ve gotten to know each other so well and I can’t wait to share the airwaves again, doing what God made me to do — tell stories, react to life, and have fun together.”
The Cumulus Media Dallas station has yet to publicly address the departure.
The news of Krok’s departure was first reported by RadioInsight.
