3 local stations are making some big changes

At least three local stations have made significant changes during the past few weeks.

Kelly Monson has left KBZN (FM-97.9) after more than eight years to become the morning co-host on KOSY (FM-106.5) with Erica Hansen. Which means Scot Young, former morning co-host with Erica, has left KOSY after more than five years. Kelly and Erica started their new show together last Tuesday.

Young said he was fired by KOSY on Dec. 8 and that he still hopes to find a new radio job in the area. (His fans can check his blog at scot1065.blogspot.com/2006/12/what-happened-to-scot.html.)

Replacing Monson on KBZN in the morning is Stevie Davenport. She formerly worked at KRSP (FM-103.5).

All Access has also reported that Mike Peer is the new program director at KENZ (FM-101.9). He was formerly the operations manager at WFNY in New York. He replaces Bruce Jones, legendary "The End" program director who left the station after more than a decade.

LATEST RATINGS —KSL (AM-1160/FM-102.7) dropped a little in the latest Arbitron rating estimates but is still No. 1 for listeners, ages 12-plus, with an 8.4 percent share.

After a month lapse, KSFI ("FM-100") moved back to No. 2 with a 6.9 percent share. KXRK ("X-96") was third at 6.1 percent, followed closely by KUBL in fourth at 6.0 percent.
