Bring Me The News<\/a>, while \u201cKS95\u201d has yet to make a public announcement of the show\u2019s cancellation, management has informed station staff via an internal memo that the hosts\u2019 contracts would not be renewed. Additionally, the show\u2019s page no longer appears on the station\u2019s website, nor are any \u201cStaci & Hutch\u201d shows listed for this week in its online programming schedule.<\/p>\nSince 2003, Matthews had been part of \u201cKS95\u201d afternoon show, which she co-hosted with Larry \u201cMoon\u201d Thompson until his retirement in 2019. Hutchinson, who previously broadcast under the name Brad Steele at CHR \u201cZ99\u201d KEEZ Mankato, MN, replaced Thompson at that time.<\/p>\n
\u201cLoss for words\u2026 saddened\u2026 will miss you all\u2026\u201d Hutchinson posted on Facebook.<\/p>\n
The memo sent to staff by Hubbard Minnesota VP\/Region Manager Dan Seeman said, \u201cAs you can imagine, this was an incredibly difficult decision, and I think it\u2019s important that we take a moment to acknowledge the many successes that Staci and Hutch contributed to KS95. After 23 years at KS95, Staci Matthews has left an indelible mark on the radio station and the entire Minneapolis-St. Paul community. [Staci & Hutch] enjoyed early ratings success and helped the Twin Cities community stay positive through some very difficult times in Minnesota, including the coronavirus epidemic in 2020. Hutch has always been a tireless advocate for Hubbard.<\/p>\n
“[Hubbard VP Brand & Content] Chris [Eagan] 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. We will update you on a short-term plan for afternoon drive in the next few days. Please join me wishing Staci & Hutch nothing but the very best in their future endeavors.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Hubbard Radio hot AC \u201cKS95\u201d KSTP-FM\u2019s Greg Hutchinson and Staci Matthews, hosts of the station\u2019s \u201cStaci & Hutch\u201d…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":492341,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[156,4975,157,111,43,139,69],"class_list":["post-492340","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-music","tag-entertainment","tag-free","tag-music","tag-new-zealand","tag-news","tag-newzealand","tag-nz"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/492340","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=492340"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/492340\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/492341"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=492340"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=492340"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=492340"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
