Springfield IL Radio: Greg Bishop Exits WMAY Morning Show

Greg Bishop
Greg Bishop has left his morning talk show on WMAY 970 AM / 94.7 FM radio in Springfield, but maintains his full-time job with Illinois News Network, an independent project of the Illinois Policy Institute.

Bishop, 33, said he “loved every minute” of his more than 10 years at WMAY, and said he will now “be able to provide even more focus on the Statehouse for newsrooms across the state” through his continued reporting for INN and the Illinois Radio Network, which has been a division of INN for more than a year.

Acccording to sj-r.com, Bishop started his radio career at Midwest Family Broadcasting, the owner of WMAY, and “strove to be a part of the station because I knew it was a place for the community to sound off on the important issues happening in our backyard.” He said he can’t thank the company enough for the “incredible opportunities” he had there.

The new morning talk-show host on WMAY is Ray Lytle, a longtime radio personality who has had past talk shows on that station as well as WTAX.
