What’s New

It’s another crowded week on the Most Added list, with many new singles coming out for the summer season. Atop the list we have Steve Lacy with “the feeling,” getting eight stations on board. Tied for #2 is Jesse Welles and Sylvan Esso, each earning seven adds for “Won’t You Come Out Tonight” and “Hot Slob,” respectively. Next up is Slow Pulp with “Better Man,” getting support from six stations. And finally, the rest of the list is a tie between Ruthie Foster, Interpol, Wishy, Fantastic Cat, and Infinity Song, each earning five commitments for their new singles.

For next week’s summer listening, check out Bruce Hornsby’s "Memory Palace" and the funky “Cool Cat” from Us3. As always, you can find the complete Going For Adds listings on the Triple A Page here.​

KUT General Manager Debbie Hiott Exits

​

Anita L. Vangelisti, the interim dean of the Moody College of Communication at UT, sent an email on Monday afternoon to staff at KUT and music-based sister station KUTX, saying that Hiott's dismissal was effective immediately. On Tuesday, Gerald Johnson was named the interim GM. Johnson is listed as the Executive Director for innovation and partnerships at the Moody College of Communication. Johnson said he only plans to serve as interim GM for a few months, but will be involved in the search for a permanent leader.

 "I want to thank Debbie for the service she has provided in this role since 2019," Vangelisti wrote. "She has been a dedicated proponent of providing news, content and music to the Central Texas community and beyond."
