Paul Marshall is no longer serving as assistant brand manager and morning host at Audacy’s 98 Rock in Sacramento, marking another high-profile programming change inside the company’s rock portfolio as the industry continues to adjust staffing levels amid broader economic pressures.
Marshall shared the news publicly via Facebook with is departure coming less than a year after Marshall returned to KRXQ rejoining the Sacramento rock outlet where he once served as music director and afternoon host from 2001 to 2004 during an earlier chapter of his career.
“Well…this one hurts. As of right now, I have been what they call R.I.F.d. It’s another way of saying laid-off. I lost my job,” wrote Marshall. “TBH…I’m not sure what I’m gonna do. I’m pretty numb. If anyone knows of a radio gig or music programming position available, I sure could use the lead. Thanks.”
That reunion had paired familiarity with leadership responsibility, as Marshall stepped into both an on-air morning role and an assistant brand manager position designed to help steer the station’s sound and strategy in a competitive Northern California market.
Before returning to Sacramento, Marshall spent more than a decade building his resume in Phoenix, where he programmed and hosted afternoons at 93.3 KDKB until the station shifted formats in 2014. Following that change, he transitioned to KSLX, where he worked nights before moving into mornings in 2015 and later middays in April 2023.
During his most recent stint with Audacy, Marshall’s reach extended beyond Sacramento, as he also contributed on-air to additional rock stations within the company’s portfolio, including stations in Greenville, South Carolina, and Chattanooga.
