Roscoe Red Out at Utica’s KISS-FM

UTICA-ROME — The Mohawk Valley’s heritage CHR pair, 97.9/105.5 KISS-FM (WSKS/WSKU), has removed Roscoe Red from its lineup this past week, according to news tips from CNYRadio.com readers.

Red had been hosting evenings from 6-10pm, but his bio page has been removed from the station’s website, and his name no longer appears on the schedule. However, as of Sunday morning, Red continues to identify himself as “from Kiss-FM” on various social media accounts, including the Facebook page cover image we captured below.

Filling the vacancy, locally-owned Roser Communications Network brings Promotions Director “Listen Its Liz” Ellis back from weekends to the weekday evening slot, about 6 weeks after she moved off the station’s morning show.
