Sam Sylk's morning show on Power 99 is finis.
Sylk, who started on urban WUSL (98.9) a year ago after a starry career in Chicago, couldn't seem to get traction here. More recently, sidekicks Q-Deezy and Erica Kane left. Sylk didn't return my calls, and station management is tight-lipped about his replacement.
In the latest Arbitron ratings, the show was a tepid tied-for-10th among listeners ages 18 to 34, lagging behind rivals The Beat 100.3 and Wired 96.5 in audience share.
