After broadcasting & working remotely for 19 months, Cumulus Media Beaumont, TX has eliminated their real estate footprint in there and has relocated and merged the studios, office and staff with its cluster in Lake Charles, LA. Effective Monday, January 24, KTCX, KAYD and KQXY will now operate and broadcast from Lake Charles, LA which will now require Beaumont employees to relocate to Lake Charles or commute 130 miles daily.

In wake of the merge, Kelly Mac has resigned as PD for the cluster's Urban Hip-Hop and R&B outlet Magic 102.5 (KTCX-FM) to pursue other opportunities. Mac served as the Program Director and midday host for the last 3 years and said, "It's been an honor to be a part of the very talented, unique, and hardworking Cumulus Beaumont team. I'm extremely proud and pleased with the work we've done to enhance the overall branding, ratings, and revenue of KTCX online, on air, and in the community." Mac's career includes 20+ years of branding, on air, digital and programming experience in various markets including Greenville SC, Cleveland and Philadelphia.

• 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.”
