Roxanne Wilder is stepping down as co-host of the "MJ Morning Show" on WRBQ-FM (Q105) Tampa. She has been with Q105 for over 8 years, previously co-hosting mornings with Mason Dixon and serving as the midday personality on the Beasley Media Rock outlet. Wilder is also known for her 14 years with FoxSportsFlorida.com.
In a heartfelt Facebook post, Wilder shared, "I won't be coming back to Q105 after the holidays. Q105, and the listeners will always hold a special place in my heart. For four years, and during both my pregnancies, I worked with radio legend Mason Dixon. Being a part of the morning show with Mason, Bobby, and Andrew was what I can best describe as good for the soul."

“I’m moving to the Bahamas…just kidding. Ahhh, but I won’t be coming back to Q105 after the holidays. Q105 and the listeners will always hold a special place in my heart.

Andrew, thank you for meeting me at my car every single morning during both my pregnancies to carry my stuff and open doors. One of a kind human. In the fall of 2020, what a surprise to find out the legendary MJ Morning Show was coming back to Tampa, and I was going to be a part of it. We had lots of laughs…and lots of characters from Cajun Fester to Hal Herman. Speaking of Froggy, whenever he walked in the studio something (Big/Crazy/Fun) was about to happen. I never take for granted the honor of you, the listener, choosing to hear what I have to say. And my intention was always to elevate your mood….”
MJ and Dom ‘Fester’ Siciliano remain in mornings at WRBQ-FM.
To me as a long time listener of MJ Morning show, Roxanne's post feels off-note. . The playful just kidding part start to a serious annoncemnt of such an abrupt career change, leaving a major radio show, where you dont even mention or thank the two most recent personalities you worked along side you, MJ and Fester, seems off-putting and reveals some backstory we are not privy too. That being said, her playful "Im off to the Bahamas" comes off as phony, fake. Why not be classy, even if she felt things weren't fair on why she left, to just say a thank you and wish MJ and Fester well as fellow human beings who she worked along side with on a major show. Doesn't sit right w me. Just had to share that.
ReplyDeleteRoxanne should have been in MJ's spot, leading the show. MJ is obnoxious. Stopped listening years ago. Every once in a while I tune in and am reassured MJ and his last remaining cohost are single-handedly lowering the IQ of central Florida. 10:01 am is the best time to tune in.
