After over 20 years across three stints, Antoine Davis has exited middays at Bonneville Adult R&B 102.9 KBLX San Francisco as part of cuts made at that cluster earlier this week.
Davis first joined KBLX in 1998 as a weekend host, while also hosting nights at Rhythmic CHR 97.7 KWIN Stockton CA. He would return from 2003 to 2012 spending time in middays and afternoons and then returned in November 2014 where he would also spend time co-hosting mornings. Davis’ career also included time at KQBR Sacramento, KQOD Stockton, weekends at “98.1 Kiss-FM” KISQ San Francisco, and afternoons at KRNB Dallas between his two long rums at KBLX.
Davis wrote on Instagram, “Well, as they say, nothing last forever. As difficult as this is to do, I am reaching out to let you know after 20+ years on 102.9 KBLX, it has been decided that it is time for me to move on. I want to thank you for always ing kind, considerate and loving to me all these years on the radio. This is a tough break up but, I do realize life happens to everyone. I’ll miss speaking those iconic call letters “KBLX”. I’m very proud of what I was able to accomplish and I realize I was the last link to a station we all loved and most of us grew up listening to. That being said, I hope to speak to you soon & a big warm, loving, THANK YOU.”
Davis was part of a handful of other cuts at Bonneville San Francisco this week. At least one additional full-time staffer and a part-timer were affected.
