AURN Dropping Bev Smith Show

Canceled

AMERICAN URBAN RADIO NETWORKS is ending the BEV SMITH syndicated show as of OCTOBER 28th, reports the PITTSBURGH POST-GAZETTE. 

SMITH told the paper that her departure is not due to rumored ill health, but alleged that the move is "about being a certain age and gender."  

Pres./Program Operations JERRY LOPES responded that the show's demise is one of "several expense reductions made in response to declining ad revenues and a sputtering economy" and noted that the show's ratings showed a large percentage of listeners over 65 years old.
