Jamie White to end host job

Jamie White’s nearly nine-year run as a morning host at KYSR-FM (98.7) came to an end Wednesday with the announcement that the “Jamie, Jack and Stench” show would not be returning.

In a news release, the station said that “Star 98.7 management decided that the show is not a long-term fit with the music-intensive, artist-driven direction that began last April....”

White had been teamed with Jack Hine and Mike Roberts on the talk and interview show since mid-2005. She previously partnered with Danny Bonaduce for six years and before that with Frosty Stillwell and Frank Kramer.

The station said it would announce plans for the morning show “in the coming week.”

White was involved in an on-air argument with KFI-AM (640) host Bill Handel last month that resulted in Handel being suspended for using obscene, threatening language. Management said that incident played no part in its decision.
