KFAN Hit As iHeartMedia Cuts Staff Nationwide

MINNEAPOLIS, MN — Longtime KFAN 100.3 personality AJ Mansour confirmed Tuesday that he’s leaving the station after 18 years, becoming one of many employees caught up in iHeartMedia’s latest nationwide cost-cutting wave.

"Mixed emotions today cleaning out my office after 18 years at @KFAN1003 and @iHeartMedia," he wrote Tuesday morning.

"I’m sad that it had to end this way but I have so many amazing memories there! I don’t think it was an accident that my wall art from @scottthepainter was the last thing to get packed away."

Mansour was a fixture of KFAN’s "Power Trip Morning Show" and in the Initials game "HOF." He also served as the VP of digital sales.
