KyXy Loses its Boom - Layoff at CBS San Diego - More

By Joe Nelson
   Kevin Dean, co-host of KyXy's Afternoon Ride has been let go.
   Word has it this was a layoff, I am not sure if anyone else was affected. I will stay on this if anything changes.

   Editor's Note: Kevin, you are a good man and I am sorry to hear this. Thanks for all you have done for me.

NEW: Kevin spoke to SanDiegoRadio minutes ago and has this to say: "Well... I've been on the air here every day since I was 23.. This will be hard but I got the chance to work with the best in the business @ KyXy and God willing I will work some more! Boom"

SanDiegoRadio is Moving

SanDiegoRadio is moving! In an effort to broaden my scope of work, SDR is relocating to a new page, under a new name. Best of all, it will be powered by Wordpress, that will allow me to do so much more.

My previous platform, this one, discontinued their mobile app a year ago and I have been severely hamstrung. I couldn't do anything if something happened while I was not near my laptop.

The future looks to be great and I am excited about the possibilities. For more on that, head on over to www.SDMediaSource.wordpress.com - It's LIVE now as a bit of a 'soft open'.

These last several years have been fun, I am excited to move forward!







Thanks for tuning in.... see you on the other side! Joe
