Syracuse: 95X Morning Duo Walk

When Hunter Scott and Josh Grosvent decided it was time to leave their positions as co-hosts of Syracuse rock radio station WAQX 95.7 FM 95X’s morning show, they picked a late-October appropriate way to go out.

“We figured the most interesting way to do it was to be killed off by zombies,” Grosvent said told  Mark Bialczak at Syracuse.com Wednesday, describing their final on-air scene Tuesday morning.

Afterward, the pair went to the office of Cumulus Syracuse general manager Shane Bogardus with the news that they’ve resigned.

Scott, who also had served as the 95X program director, and Grosvent had been the morning team at the Cumulus-owned station for two years.

Grosvent said the two are exploring other employment opportunities. Scott, who comes from the Midwest, is looking there, Grosvent said. Grosvent, who also is a comic writer who’s hosted a weekly Wednesday night improvisational “Walk Up Radio Show” at Wise Guys Comedy Club in Syracuse, said that’s on hiatus, as usual this time of the year.

Bogardus and Grosvent both said the resignations are not a stunt to promote Cumulus’ O’Zombie Crawl 2012.
