The hits just keep on coming for KHITS 96. Last Monday it was the cancellation of JC Corcoran's morning show and a farewell to PM drive host, Katy Kruze. Now the station loses its studio, banished to the much smaller space once occupied by Emmis' ill-fated "martini music" project known as "Red." KFTK expands to take over the KHITS studio in addition to maintaining its current suite of studios. KHITS, by the way, no longer has any live hosts weekdays from 2 p.m. all the way to 6 a.m.In a situation at Emmis where management believes that more music trumps talk in the PPM ratings, Emmis management punishes the newly-talkless KHITS by moving them to a smaller studio and rewards the all-talk KFTK by providing additional studio space, built out to their needs at what must be a considerable cost of time, effort and ever-desireable cash.
