Phil Moore |
Cumulus/Albuquerque has announced that veteran Morning man, Phil Moore, has retired after 37
years on air. The last 17 years, Moore hosted “The Moore Music Morning Show” on
KMGA 95.5 FM Magicbuquerque. Prior to that, he was on-air at sister station KKOB-FM.
The new morning show on KMGA, “Magic in the Morning With Simon & Rachel”
debuted today, moving over from KRST, which became the all-new NASH-FM 92.3
KRST last Friday. Moore signed off on Friday morning’s show.
Rachel Michaels has lived the majority of her life in
Albuquerque, and her radio career has deep roots at KMGA, dating back to 1999.
Scott Simon has a long radio career that includes stops at WKIS in Miami, KUPL
and KWJJ in Portland, along with stops in San Antonio, Oklahoma City, Milwaukee
and Virginia Beach.
Kris Abrams, Operations Manager for Cumulus Media
Albuquerque said: “Phil had a remarkable run… 37 years in one ‘building’. That
dedication is something you don’t see any more, in any business. We wish him
the very best in his retirement and thank him for his significant contributions
to our stations, listeners and community. He is truly one of a kind.”
Michaels said: “Coming home to Magic is a dream. It is the
station where I got my start. And I am the target audience, so I assume I can
just do whatever I want.”
Simon said: “Working with Rachel the last year has been
great. And her excitement about coming ‘home’ is infectious. It is an honor to
follow Phil. Following him is just an honor.”
