HOUSTON, Texas –Radio host Shara Fryer has been let go from KTRH 740’s “Houston’s Morning News” after 12 years on air.

Fryer’s departure comes amid nationwide layoffs by iHeartMedia, the parent company of KTRH, as confirmed by her co-host, Jimmy Barrett, during a broadcast on Monday.

Shara Fryer, a well-known figure in the Houston media landscape, joined KTRH in September 2012. She had previously spent over 25 years in television news at ABC 13 Houston, earning a reputation as a respected journalist. Her move to radio was seen as a significant transition, and she quickly became a staple of morning radio in Houston.

Barrett stated that Fryer’s departure was part of a broader restructuring at iHeartMedia. The company, which owns numerous radio stations across the country, recently implemented layoffs affecting less than 5% of its workforce.

Barrett expressed his admiration for Fryer and acknowledged the impact of her absence on the show.

“Like many listeners, I will miss having her on the program,” he said. “Shara has been more than a co-host. She’s been a trusted colleague and friend. We look forward to seeing what she does next.”

The layoffs at iHeartMedia are reportedly part of an effort to streamline operations and adapt to changes in the media industry. The company has not disclosed specifics about the restructuring, but Fryer’s departure is among several high-profile exits nationwide.

Shara Fryer had become a familiar voice to Houston radio audiences, often engaging with listeners on various topics ranging from local news to community issues.

Fryer has not publicly commented on her departure, but according to Barrett, she is “doing well” and is expected to pursue new opportunities in the media industry. The news of her exit has prompted an outpouring of support from listeners and colleagues who are eager to see her next move.

The changes at KTRH 740 are part of a larger trend of consolidations and layoffs impacting radio stations across the nation. iHeartMedia, like many media companies, faces the challenges of adapting to a rapidly changing industry where digital platforms are becoming increasingly influential.

The station has not announced a permanent replacement for Fryer, leaving questions about the future direction of the program.
