According to radio trade publication radioINSIGHT<\/a>, KRBE owner Cumulus Media conducted layoffs across the country on Wednesday, November 11, 2026, with Quinn being the Houston casualty.<\/p>\n

In addition to hosting afternoons, Quinn served as KRBE’s Assistant Program Director (APD), helping shape the station’s sound, develop on-air talent, and oversee promotions and branding.<\/p>\n

Quinn’s departure was addressed by his longtime on-air partner, Audrey Rose, during Wednesday afternoon’s broadcast.<\/p>\n

Rose became emotional while telling listeners that Quinn was no longer with the station and thanking him for his nearly 14 years at KRBE.<\/p>\n

“We’ve had so many great memories here, and we’ve been doing the Kevin and Audrey Show for almost five years together,” Rose told listeners. “I just wanted to make sure that we wish him the absolute best with his future and everything else that he pursues, and just know that he loved you so, so, so, so, so much.”<\/p>\n

Rose acknowledged that she would miss working alongside Quinn every day but reassured listeners that the afternoon show would continue.<\/p>\n

She plans to keep popular features including Car Line Comedy and the Daily Debate, while asking listeners to stick with her as the show transitions to a new chapter.<\/p>\n

“I hope that you still rock with me, know that I love you, know that Kevin loves you,” Rose said.<\/p>\n

As you can see below, Quinn posted a tearful video of himself listening to Rose’s announcement.<\/p>\n

The KRBE duo just wrapped up the fourth year of Kevin & Audrey’s Turkey Tour, where they broadcast live in various areas to accept food donations to help us fight food insecurity across Houston.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
