Several people were let go from 99.1 Groove FM Wednesday morning, ChrisD.ca has learned.
The Corus Entertainment radio station terminated their program director Russ Tyson, on-air personality Jo Evans, as well as other unnamed staff.
A source says the station will now focus on playing more music.
Most of Groove’s programming has been voice-tracked as it was, leaving little room for live cut-ins.
In the Spring 2011 ratings book, Groove had a 1.6 share, down from its 2.1 share the year before.
The station is expected to flip to a different format in September.
No one from Corus was available to officially comment.
