The station declined to extend his contract, according to a report by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Frank Ski shared a statement confirming this, saying,

“Though it will be difficult parting ways with all my friends at CMG, I’m excited about starting a new chapter in Atlanta. I’m equally excited about expanding my syndication to even greater heights and super-serving all our affiliates. Radio continues to motivate me daily as I feel a responsibility to help educate and entertain our communities while also giving back and making a difference.”

Who was Frank Ski hosting the popular radio show with?

His resignation from the R&B station coincided with co-host Ski’s six-month absence from the WALR morning program with Nina Brown.

Since August 2020, Howard University’s WHUR-FM in Washington has carried Brown’s co-hosting of The Frank Ski Show with Nina Brown, despite the changes at Kiss 104.1.

For the uninitiated, Frank Ski was born in New York City on May 9, 1964. His father reared him in Miami. Ski’s early exposure to New York’s hip-hop scene stoked his desire to work as a local DJ.

Ski had important interviews over his radio career, one of which was the final one with Coretta Scott King. He was honored by the Rainbow Push Coalition with the Journalist of the Year award in 2002.
