LOTUS Triple A KRVB (94.9 THE RIVER)/BOISE, ID veteran morning show host KEN BASS has exited after nearly 20 years at the station due to company layoffs.

BASS wrote on social media, “I have been contemplating my retirement from radio for a bit now, even thinking that I might do so after my 71st birthday in MARCH. Well, my decision was made for me today when the corporation owning 94.9 THE RIVER, where I have been the morning guy for nearly 20 years announced layoffs amongst all of their properties. Guess who is now laid off? Everything was handled nicely, with them giving me a nice severance package and their deepest apologies. I hold no ill will toward them. Management was very regretful and sad that this was happening, but budgetary cuts are budgetary cuts. The radio biz is pretty tough these days. I understand.” 

KRVB PD TIM JOHNSTONE told ALL ACCESS, “KEN was a valuable part of THE RIVER team for nearly 20 years. We were happy to have him and he was a valuable part of the community.: He will be greatly missed.”

BASS was most recently paired with MELISSA DAWN. There is no immediate plan to replace him at this time.
