Clear Channel Does Some Clear-Cutting

[sheeats]

Clear Channel, the communications giant, swung the layoff ax across the country today, and it hit notably in Houston.

The biggest names: Brad Davies and Craig Roberts of the 790 KBME morning show. (On the non-sports side, Donna McCoy of Sunny 99.1 is gone; dentists' offices everywhere sob.)

Replacing Davies and Roberts will be even more of the (not so enjoyable) "Monsters of the Midway" show with former Chronicle columnist John P. Lopez and Ted DeLuca.

That pair will host a show from 6 am-8 am, then sit around while the station runs the syndicated Dan Patrick show (the ESPN host, not the nutty state senator/ex-radio guy), then come back on the air from 11 am-3 pm.

There's also speculation that 790 AM might not be the Sports Animal for much longer...
