FL Radio: Longtime AM Host Timmy Vee OUT AT WA1A

Timmy Vee
Longtime Top40 WAOA 107.1 FM /WA1A morning show host Timmy Vee is no longer with the station.

"He gave us his resignation yesterday," Terry Simmons, program director for the Cumulus-owned radio station, told Florida Today. "Cumulus plans to take the show in a different direction to better serve our listeners."

However, Vee's lawyer, Mark Warzecha of Widerman Malek, told Floria Today he has been hired to look into the circumstances of Vee's departure.

While Vee said he couldn't comment on the details of his departure, he said his dedication to helping nonprofits in Brevard would continue. "Everything that I do in the community is going to stay," he said. "I'll do the same type of thing without a microphone.

"I'm not done in this market. I'm not done," he added. "I've still got a lot of radio in me, maybe."


The station currently seeks a new co-host for Cheree Carter, who joined the morning show in February 2013.

In an email to Florida Today, Simmons said: "Cumulus Media is focused on taking the WA1A morning show in a different direction. Timmy Vee has elected not to be part of those changes and gave us his resignation Thursday. We sincerely appreciate everything Timmy has contributed over the years to make WA1A a market leader and wish him continued success."
