HOUSTON
In Houston, Sunny 99.1 KODA Houston has been hit the hardest.
But before I continue, I am getting reader reports that former KPRC 2 Houston Life and 94.5 The Buzz KTBZ morning co-host Tessa Barrera has recently been heard filling in on Sunny 99.1 as of this weekend.
So, here we go with the KODA cuts.
Midday host Amanda Flores (also Star 102.1 KDGE Dallas-Fort Worth), afternoon host Chris Davis and overnight DJ Madison Reeves.
At sister station Sports Talk 790 KBME, Cole Thompson announced his exit from the recently announced “The Morning Drive with Dan & Cole,” which just debuted in 2025.
