Cox Media Group sent out pink slips to a number of their employees on Thursday across the country  in an effort to downsize and make their bottom line look better. Among those let go were Trina and Trick Daddy as morning show hosts on 99 Jamz WEDR-FM Miami. The morning show featuring the rappers of Love and Hip Hop fame (with no radio experience) was launched in January 2020.




Also exiting is Jill Strada, the Director of Operations for Cox Miami. Strada was Program Director of  Hits 97.3 WFLC and oversaw “99 Jamz.” Jill Strada gained industry acclaim by guiding both Hot 97 WQHT-FM and 98.7 Kiss FM WRKS-FM in New York from 2007 to 2011.



The parent company of Cox Media Group is reportedly seeking to purchase the Tegna television broadcast company.

• Gayle King and Charles Barkley are finalizing a deal that would have them jointly lead a primetime hour each week on CNN, according to people familiar with the matter and multiple news sources. The pact is not complete and there is always the risk it may not come to fruition, one of these people says. CNN declined to make executives available for comment.

• Tavis Smiley owned Los Angeles talk station KBLA Talk 1580 donated $20,000 in scholarship money to the NABJLA and MPJI. Smiley says, “The National Association of Black Journalists of Los Angeles and the Minority Photo-Journalism Institute are making a tangible difference in our community by helping students pursue careers in journalism and communications. KBLA ‘Talk 1580’ strongly believes in enlightening, empowering and encouraging tomorrow’s reporters, editors and potential talk radio hosts. Hopefully, our scholarships make a difference.”

• WLBT anchor and meteorologist Barbie Bassett is no longer with the Jackson, Miss., NBC station after racially insensitive comments. In early March, Bassett was speaking with her fellow anchors on air about Snoop Dogg’s latest business venture, Snoop Cali Blanc, a new wine in his wine label. In response to a comment about putting a Snoop Dogg tattoo on her shoulder, Bassett said, “Fo shizzle, my nizzle.” Bassett is white. Charlamagne tha God defended Bassett as he discussed the situation on The Breakfast Club. “She might be old. She probably has no idea nizzle is a derivative of the N-word. That’s not a fireable offense. I hope she sues.”
