What happened to Shara Fryer? She hasn't been on air for the last 2 weeks and no mention of a "goodbye" that I heard.


I am part of the problem and you're the victim...

Dave Ward just got a shipment of Hendrix Gin and blue pills. She might be gone for a while.

My drive into work isn't quite the same without her. She really brought a balance of professionalism that Barrett simply doesn't have.

wow. I feel the opposite between the two. I thought she was always outlandish and interjecting with guests.

Agreed. Jimmy was play by play & Shara was the color commentator.

Also, didn't they change to Bloomberg financial news instead of Pat Shinn of Heritage Asset Advisors? I always liked his spots.

740 was better with Lana Hughes and JP Pritchard giving us straight news, not opinion pieces.

I liked Shara when she had Matt Patrick (RIP) to work with. It hasn't been the same with Jimmy Barrett IMO.

I think I heard them say she was going on vacation for two weeks

I don't think she's on vacation, her picture was removed from the morning show page...

It's very odd for a snap exit with zero notice.

Now that I think about it, the traffic guy in the morning hasn't been using her soundbites either.

They ran two pre-recorded ad spots she VOed this morning towards the end of the 7 AM hour.

It would be unusual for them to continue to use that content if she is no longer with the station, but hey, life can be unusual... and the broadcast industry today is largely populated by people who have no clue what they are doing.

I received the following response from Brian Erickson, program director at KTRH:

"Unfortunately, we have gone in another direction and Shara is pursuing other opportunities. We will miss her and wish her the best."

I think the morning show is flat without her. Oh well.

Why wouldn't they make an announcement? It's kind of a big deal, she's been a fixture in Houston news since the 80s. You'd think they would have made an announcement.

Strange use of "unfortunately" there....lol. Unfortunately she is not coming back because we told her to leave.

Maybe it ended badly. If her contract was up and things were amicable you think they would give her a big retirement send off.

I did a search for "Where is Shara Fryer" and this thread popped up.

That show isn't the same without both of them on there.

Also her X account linked on the KTRH website says it has been suspended… which is also strange

Companies rarely do the dignified thing when they cut employees loose. She deserved some recognition.

I wonder if they have a cut and paste answer or even an auto reply.

That's the exact email that I received.

"We have gone in another direction" does not indicate that is the situation.

True but maybe it was her choice as to how it was communicated.

And they are still running ad reads she's done. I heard at least two this morning, including where she introduces herself by name.

The clowns running these places have no freaking clue what they are doing.

Jimmy just confirmed they went through a reorganization/consolidation that Shara got caught up in.

I find it odd that with as long as she's been with the station and her rapport with the whole team there that she would be subject to a reorg. Gotta be more to it. Especially with the abrupt exit. Definitely will miss hearing her in the mornings!
