WWRZ Morning Team Has Left The Building 1-8-25
The morning team at Hall Communications' WWRZ-FM 98.3, Eric Michaels and co-host Mike Lee have left the station. Eric wrote on Facebook; "Today, January 6th the Big Max Morning Show Eric and Mike was terminated effective immediately. Over the past 15 years we’ve gone through many challenges; hurricanes, pandemics, marriages, but somehow you always welcomed us and allowed us to do the thing we love. You have no idea the pride and joy we felt when one of you would mention something specific we had done on the air and how much joy it brought you. Your dedication and loyalty was like nothing we’ve ever seen and we’ll always be grateful. I’m sure you’re asking “Why” and the answer is very simple, economics. Any business person will tell you, if something isn’t making money then changes have to be made and sometimes that means letting people go. While writing this, I feel as if I’m writing a eulogy but I don’t want you to be sad. We will pick ourselves up and move forward. On behalf of Mike and myself, thank you for everything. - Eric
