 On Sundays, simulcasts of ABC's "This Week with George Stephanopoulos" and NBC's "Meet the Press" were featured.During the three years of the news format, the station had low ratings; in September 2014, KROI was ranked in 26th place on Nielsen Audio ratings, with an overall audience share of only 0.9.On October 8, 2014, at 9 a.m., KROI ended its all-news format and laid off 47 employees; Radio One management cited poor ratings performance and "significant financial losses over the past three years despite the substantial financial and human resources invested" as reasoning for the decision.
