Poor guy on the air sounds like he's forcing back tears talking about it. Tough

He knows he could be next. Sounds like a cull is happening. Honestly, about time. THat station sucks.

Because of the "QB's go to Utah to die" article?

His opinion piece on Elder Holland's BYU talk?

Because of the KSL buyout?

Still owned by the Jazz, I believe. But managed and operated by Bonneville/KSL.

KSL took over the zone? Get ready for more Ute coverage.

Politically I've been annoyed with KSL, but sports-wise they've been pretty fair

9/30/21 2:22pm

Actually a very good move. Enlarge your audience. Sports is usually a good

As of immediately? Not on the show today?

Ya, he's not on air

I actually liked Austin and thought he was funny. Maybe the only funny one

runnincoug

9/30/21 2:15pm

I did too except he didn't have a great radio voice unfortunately

Rhubarb

His voice was unique, but it worked for me. Part of his uniqueness.

Austin knew sports better than Jake and GM and also was funny

There's not a lot of on air talent in this market

it's a shame that Greg Wrubell won't do it anymore.

I don’t celebrate anyone losing their job even if that person may deserve it.

TempeCoug

9/30/21 2:13pm

This 100%

9/30/21 2:15pm

agree

9/30/21 3:53pm

He broke rule #1: 1. If you sell your radio station, you will probably get fired from it if you aren’t very good.

could september 2021 get any better???

Beggar

Too bad for him. I hope he lands on his feet. It's never easy to lose a job.

Gordon was compensated greatly. He also made a lot of money in the sale to the

I hope Mitch Harper can get a show. That'd be fun.

Does Gordo still write for the Trib?

He'll go back to 1320 and bring them all with him.

slowhiteguy

Probably true. The radio talent in this state seems to just move from station to

runnincoug

9/30/21 2:24pm

1320 was gone years ago

palangi

1320 plays Mariache music. Maybe Gordo can comment on that?

Don't cry for Monson, he is quite well off and still writes for that garbage rag

Never good for someone to lose a job, glad he still can write to support himself

If you have to ask, you aren’t loaded.
