KOST-FM Cans DJ Bryan Simmons After Nearly Three Decades

Adult contemporary radio station KOST 103.5 FM fired longtime on-air personality Bryan Simmons on Friday evening, immediately following his regular weekday broadcast. Simmons, who was first hired by the station in 1982, was taken by surprise. He told the OC Register: “It’s been like a death in the family and feels very final this time. I’m still going through the process in my head, and it ain’t pretty.”
