After some 35-years, N/T WNIR 100.1 FM’s Stan Piatt has
mapped out his retirement plans.
Piatt announced this week and he’ll sign-off no later than July
31, 2014 and move to Pittsburgh .
Billed as “the leader of WNIR’s family-friendly morning
circus” morning show, The 62-year-old Piatt is the bus driver for The Morning Show which
includes Steve French, Phil Ferguson and Maggie Fuller.
The station plans to have a nationwide talent search and
on-air auditions in the selection process, much as it has done to fill some
previous openings at the talk-radio operation.
It’s another change in the lineup of on-air personalities at
the station within a short period of time.
Howie Chizek died in June 2012 of a heart attack on a youth
group trip to Disney World, and Tom Erickson died in November of complications
of peritonitis.
Meanwhile, Station
Manager Bill Klaus says “We’re looking for a talent who is fun, funny and
engaging in a live, ad lib environment”.
