Joe Escalante has left the KDLD-FM ("Indie 103.1") morning show. Escalante's departure comes as station owner Entravision makes some budget trims (as everyone seems to be doing these days).
Ted Roman is hosting the show for now, at least on an interim basis. No word if Roman will permanently replace Escalante, or if another host is on the way.
A bassist for the punk band The Vandals and owner of Kung Fu Records, Escalante also spent 12 years as a business affairs exec, including time at CBS. He first joined Indie in 2005 to host the weekly call-in show "Barely Legal Radio," where he offered entertainment legal advice to people in the industry.
When the station axed morning show host (and Mighty Mighty Bosstones singer) Dicky Barrett in May 2006, Escalante was tapped to replace him.
It looks like Escalante hasn't completely severed ties with Indie; he'll now go back to just hosting Barely Legal Radio.
