Hubbard Broadcasting is ending the Staci & Hutch show on Minneapolis CHR KS95. The duo’s contracts will not be renewed following a seven-year run in afternoon drive.
What We Know: The afternoon show hosted by Staci Matthews and Greg Hutchinson ran weekdays from 2–7 p.m. and launched in 2019. Matthews joined KS95 back in 2003 and spent 16 years alongside Larry “Moon” Thompson before Hutchinson came aboard. An internal memo confirmed the decision, though no public announcement followed. The station’s online schedule no longer lists the show, and its page has been removed from the site.
What They Said: Minnesota VP and Market Manager Dan Seeman addressed staff directly in the memo. “As you can imagine, this was an incredibly difficult decision,” Seeman wrote. “Chris and I will now be focused on finding the next great afternoon drive show for KS95. KS95 has always been a personality forward radio station and that will continue.”
What Remains Unclear: Hubbard Broadcasting has not publicly confirmed the timeline for the transition. Furthermore, the company has not revealed whether the change has already taken effect. No interim host or replacement format has been announced. A short-term plan for afternoon drive is apparently in the works.
What It Means: Afternoon drive on KS95 now enters a period of uncertainty. Losing two experienced personalities — especially one with over two decades at the station — is a significant shift. The Twin Cities market will be watching closely to see who steps into that seat.
