Cumulus Media laid off Heather Brown and Adam Dunaway, the longtime morning hosts known as Heather and Poolboy, from Little Rock radio station Alice 107.7 on Friday as the company carries out a Chapter 11 bankruptcy restructuring.
Friday’s broadcast was the final Alice 107.7 morning show for Brown and Dunaway, who had been heard together in the Little Rock market for almost 30 years. Their departure was part of another round of cuts announced by Cumulus, a national radio company that owns and operates stations in Arkansas and other markets.
Local hosts affected by company restructuring
Cumulus began another round of layoffs Friday, with the reductions affecting employees at stations across the company. The Little Rock cuts removed the station’s established morning-drive team, which had been a familiar part of weekday programming for Central Arkansas listeners.
The layoffs follow an earlier round of cuts at Cumulus stations around the country in August. The company’s reductions are tied to its Chapter 11 restructuring, a court-supervised process for addressing its financial obligations while continuing operations.
- Heather Brown and Adam Dunaway were laid off from Alice 107.7.
- The pair hosted the station’s morning show for nearly 30 years.
- Their final broadcast was Friday, Nov. 13, 2026.
- The layoffs were part of Cumulus Media’s Chapter 11 restructuring.
Brown addressed the end of the program in a Facebook post Friday afternoon. The departure also removes one of the station’s longest-running on-air partnerships from the Little Rock radio market.
Cumulus had not announced plans Friday afternoon for how Alice 107.7 would handle programming in the affected morning time slot. The company’s restructuring has resulted in job cuts at multiple stations, although the local changes described Friday centered on the two Alice 107.7 hosts.
For listeners in Central Arkansas, the cuts mark the end of a program that had occupied the station’s morning-drive schedule for decades. Brown and Dunaway’s last show aired Friday before the layoffs took effect.
