Update: The Playhouse to get new Portland home

(This story was originally published on December 1, 2009 at 3:02 pm.)

The PlayhouseKXJM ("Jammin" 107.5) has canceled Portland-based morning show The Playhouse, which was syndicated from the station's studios. The program's website, radioplayhouse.com, now redirects to jammin1075.com. More to come.

Update (12/1, 4:51 pm): The Playhouse can now be found at playhousedemo.com.

Update (12/2, 9:57 am): The voice of Dreena Gonzalez was heard this morning instead of The Playhouse. Gonzalez is voicetracked out of Clear Channel's KYLD San Francisco and is normally heard on Jammin afternoons.

Update (12/2, 4:34 pm): From a message on producer Ivan Trujillo's Facebook page:

Hey Party People, The Playhouse has been cancelled on Jammin 107.5. But we'll be back in early 2010 with a new Portland OR home! Till then continue to hear us on Fresno's Q97! Thanks for all the love and support! Keep checking back for my latest updates! Peace! -PH Producer Ivan-

Q97 (KSEQ) doesn't advertise an online stream on its website, but it does host Playhouse TV.

Old habits

I got it right both times in the story, at least. I still think Jammin 95.5 sounds better, though.

Why?

So anyone know why this happened? I'm dying to figure this out, which is strange since I don't listen to the show.

It's about what it's always

It's about what it's always about: money.

The show had top ratings in it's target demos but became too expensive for CC Portland to pay for.

PPM?

Media Ghoul,
Any idea how the show looked in PPM? That's part of why T-Man was out. Listeners just want the familiar music of the format, not necessarily a lot of talk... or so it seems.

Me, I'm the other way around, but that's why I've become a P1 for NPR affiliates and other non-comm. quality music stations.

F haters

PLAYHOUSE is the ONLY reason why i work mornings. and for the haters out there, F*CK OFF! your probably a Z100 fan.

and if the PLAYHOUSE was kicked off because of money, someone should have said something. i know that all the listeners would have done everything they could to help. i know plenty of people that would have held a sign if they needed to raise money for them and i would have had the biggest sign. if there is anything 503/559 can do to help, WELL DO IT.

F*CK HATERS!

It used to be a good show but

It used to be a good show but it really went downhill over the past year or so. It was great when it was on 95.5 and had Ebro, Sony, and Egypt (even though she annoyed me). But they clearly lost their mojo and you can't deny that. I was telling my daughter a month ago that I thought they were going to be canceled soon. It just wasn't the same show anymore. PK needs to revamp and realize he needs characters like he had before and he will be okay. But sticking your friends and wife on the show with you just isn't going to work long term. He's going to have to diversify to stay relevant.

YES!!!

I totally agree. It was the same old bit over and over. I was sick of hearing how Dorian was an idiot and couldn't spell. I turned them off months ago.

pk is an idiot, and whats

pk is an idiot, and whats with his voice trying to sound cool, well...hes not. the show was lame. i agree that if anyone didnt like it that they should change the channel, like i did. johnjay and rich show is original and funny. my daughter, who is 13, even said that 107.5 is better now in the morning cuz they play music. and what radio station in oregon doesnt play the same ten songs over and over again, oregon hip hop stations pretty much suck. they need to play music that hasnt been heard yet. more variety. clear channel sucks to. thanx

Playhouse gone - good

Most of us did change the channel - that's why CC canceled. They are all about the money. Live with it. PK and crew really sound - stupid. No other word works. They are the dull tools in the garage. I happened by last week and heard music. So nice. Wish them the best, but a talk show won't work since they really aren't talented enough.

Haters who cannot use real sentences...

If someone is to talk ish about people, one needs to learn the proper way to write sentences. Fragments of a sentence do not work in the real world or on paper, if it did work than everyone would be yoda's and haiku writers. "They are all about the money. Live with it." one would say that should be one sentence "They are all about the money so live with it.". That sounds significantly better and now you don't sound like a person breathing out of oxygen mask. "PK and crew really sound - stupid. No other word works" Is it possible to try and just use one sentence Don? "Pk and the crew really sound stupid (no dash needed), (comma it connects the two crappy sentences) no other word best describes them (you used a word that is for describing, so I figured it would be better if we stated that we were describing them). "They are dull tools in the garage" (YEAH! great analogy but I rather be a dull tool than a dull writer using horrible cliches) "I happened by last week and heard music." "I happened to change the channel to the playhouse last week and heard music" (As always Don... the question is What happened? Did you want to tell us how you felt after you heard music? You need to be a little more descriptive.) Ironically your last sentence "Wish them the best, but a talk show won't work since they really aren't talented enough." could be written better. "Wish them the best, but a talk show wont work without talent."

Look I am not here to start anything but for gosh sakes reading your comment was lik talking during an asthma attack.

The playhouse grew on me, and now they're gone. PK wont be getting the batmobile ever now.

Teachers who can't use real sentences....

Ouch! Perhaps 11:25 p.m. Saturday is not the ideal time to post a pedantic little screed on writing. Are you unaware of the proper use of commas and apostrophes? Do you not see your spelling and typographical errors? Get out the red pen and start marking off the mistakes on your own paper, "teacher," before presuming to teach anyone else.

PK and The PlayHouse

I just want to express my support for The Playhouse. I'm from Fresno and have been listening to the PlayHouse ever since they came on the air here. At first I really wasn't feelin the show but after really listen to PK and how that fool puts it down. I like that dude. He always keeps it real about everything. I have not heard a better show on the air Than the PlayHouse, and to keep it real David D and producer Art are not going to bring it like the Playhouse did. You guys are way better than BIG BOY On Power 106 in LOS ANGELES . His jokes blow, PK'S are way better. The PlayHouse needs to go to XM/Sirius Radio and go all out. I would pay $10 $15 just to listen to you guys. I wanna say whats up to PK, Tony, Ivan, Duryan, and Denise. Well I'll be listening for you guys to come back on the air. PEACE from FRESNO CA. Get @ me

I miss the Playhouse!!

It is a shame they canceled the playhouse. I looked forward to a few hours a day of not listening to the same 20 songs played over, and over, and over. The other morning shows are lame. How do people listen to Jon J and Rich? Jeezus it's bad. Best of luck Playhouse crew............looking forward to your return in the Spring.

PLAYHOUSE....COME BACK!!!!!!!!!!!

I HAVE LISTENED TO THE PLAYHOUSE SINCE THEY STARTED THE SHOW. I LOVED THE SHOW THEN AND I LOVE IT NOW. I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT RADIO WOULD CANCEL A NUMBER 1 SHOW. I LOVED TURNING THE RADIO ON WHILE DRIVING TO WORK JUST SO I COULD LAUGH AT THEM. THEN WHEN I GOT TO WORK I'D TURN IT ON AT MY DESK, EVERY DAY.

I WANT THE PLAYHOUSE BACK.

GOOD LUCK PLAYHOUSE, I WILL LISTEN TO YOU WHEREVER YOU GO.

It's not worth listening to

It's not worth listening to the radio in the morning without the playhouse. I don't even turn it on anymore. I have been a listener since day one, when the playhouse had sonie, ebro and scooter. hope to hear you again, soon.
There is no reason to listen to the radio in the morning without you.
PK we miss you and the playhouse, stay strong.....

PK should be on somewhere soon

The show was great in my opinion. I had a blast listening to the pranks, the crap they made duryan do, and listening to the stupid news segment. Im glad they didnt play much music cuz the music now a days is crap. Its going back to the 70's with the use of the voice box, techno type beats, and all the other garbage they can package. Skinny jeans? Come on, you have to be kidding me! Anyways, its not the same in the morning cuz there's no playhouse. As soon as you guys get back on the air, we will all migrate to where you go.

I Love The Playhouse and I vote!

The playhouse is hands down my FAVORITE radio show! I have never laughed so hard! Obviously some a-hole with no sense of humor is behind the cancellation of this hilarious show.

They will be back and until they are I will be listening to CD's on my way to work. All of the other morning shows on the dial are LAME and quite frankly, ANNOYING!

I miss PRANKS on the 40!

Love you Playhouse! See you soon!

The Playhouse will be back!!

The Playhouse was the only reason why my entire family listened to 107.5. They woke me up and got me started in the mornings with all the hillarious pranks and wacky stunts. I'm a total grump when I first get to work now. I know P.K. and I know they will be back - even better than before. We'll be waiting!!! Love you guys!!!

I hope the next show has more entertaining hosts

I stopped listening to the Playhouse in the mornings some time in November after PK totally dissed a guest so bad that he made himself look like a complete moron. The guest was some math genius who was explaining how he figured out how to perform equations in his head really fast. Well, apparently PK was so irritated with this guest that he actually hung up the phone on him- AS THE GUEST WAS TALKING.

I think PK's attitude is unprofessional, crappy, imature, rude and certainly not necessary. I was so completley turned me off to the whole show that I hadn't turned it back to 107.5 since then. I was pleasantly surprised when I heard the news last night that the morning show got cancelled.

Don't get me wrong, I did like aspects of the show like the crank calls and when other listeners called in so I hope the next morning show is just as funny but with less of a creepy, hatefilled attitude. I was getting tired of hearing how drunk PK and his crew gets and how un-intelligent his "crew" was....Get over yourselves guys and CLASS UP a little!

WE MISS THE PLAYHOUSE ;-(

So I thought maybe they had taken some time off for the holidays at first. We were okay with that than we realized okay WTF its still not on where is PK and the crew. My daughter and I would listen to them in the morning during our commute, so she tells me today as she's getting out of the car,"Mom you have to google them and see what's going on" so here I am. I also missed Egypt even though at times when she'd go off I thought she needed to shut up I was tired of her interrupting every 2 seconds. We don't listen to the radio anymore in the morning its boring. I hear music the rest of the day my mornings were to wake me up get me going and to enjoy the time I spent driving in the morning. I don't care to hear anything anymore because the playhouse is gone. We'll be checking on the Playhouse to see where they land so we can follow them!!! Wish you all Luck!!!

I have to say that there was

I have to say that there was a time when I did listen to the show. However the show grew old and tired, listening to PK drone on and on about his wife or some other repetitive subject. Its like a bunch of frat boys lighting their farts. Sure its funny at first, but it gets old quick. I'm not a hater just a realist. For those people stuck in their frat days, and drunkin stoopers they will be missed, but as for the rest of us music is a welcome change to the grating voice of PK!!! And for those of you who say that its simple just change the channel well I did and so did many other listeners, perhaps one of the many reasons that they are no longer on the air!

And if they are such a beloved show then I would have expected to see pages upon pages of dedicated fans demanding their return to the air waves. However to be quite honest the few comments left on here are pathetic. All this demonstrates is that there were really only 20 people who really cared about the loss.

Pathetic

Okay the only thing that is pathetic is u whiners! The playhouse is the best thing that PTown has to offer as a show! The radio stations all suck ass!

I am sooo glad this show is

I am sooo glad this show is off the air. I did listen to the show when sony, ebro, etc were on there. That's when it was truly "fresh" and funny. The same crank calls and stupid comments by duryan daily got old about 3 years ago. If the original crew were brought back together it would really be worth listening to. It really was annoying hearing PK brag about what car he was driving, what vegas trips were happening, his [?]ty wife and so forth... Speaking about his wife, I think it's crazy he even got married! I remember listening to him say he would NEVER get married. I'm glad the show is off the air. A REAL funny show is THE DONKEY SHOW on kfly in Eugene in the afternoons... I wish they were on in the morning on 107.5.
