According to a story at mlive.com, Bakita, who was program
director at WBBL for most of his tenure with the station, announced at the
start of Wednesday’s “Bakita & Bentley” morning show that he will be leaving.
“I'll be in touch and appreciate all the nice calls and
comments that we've gotten," he said near the end of his broadcast. He
also thanked his colleagues.
Most of Wednesday's show was dedicated to calls from
coaches, friends and listeners.
Bakita, who joined a fledgling WBBL in May 1994, has
accepted a job with Clear Channel Communications doing sports radio work for
Wisconsin stations in Milwaukee at WOKY-AM 920-AM and Madison at WTSO 1070-AM).
“I was approached and it was an opportunity I couldn’t turn
down,” he said. “Because of technology, I won’t have to leave Grand Rapids.”
Clear Channel also has affiliates in Grand Rapids with
all-sports WMAX-FM 96.1-FM and news-talk station WOOD-AM 1300-AM, among others.
