WGN 720 AM late night host Turi Ryder, who officially
started with the radio station just over six months ago, announced tonight she
is leaving the station.
According to Chicagoland Radio & Media, her last night
on the air for WGN Radio will be Thursday.
Ryder was informed by station management that they are
taking the station in a different direction and will be making changes. One of
those changes was the removal of Ryder's show.
However, management gave Ryder the opportunity to do one
last week of shows. Ryder called WGN-AM a "classy radio station" ad
said the gesture to allow her to remain on the air through Thursday night
"so lovely, so gracious."
Oddly enough, the cancellation of her show comes as she in
the process of moving her family from San Fransisco, where she has been doing
her show remotely, back to the Chicagoland area. That very move is taking place
this week. Regardless, she is coming back home to Chicago , where she was born.
Really Enjoyed you, Turi ...
ReplyDeleteI am a longtime fan of WBZ radio and have been disappointed in their decision for the nighttime programs since they decided to buy into syndication on the weekend evenings. Larry Glick wannabes are in scarce supply evidently. Morgan White is willing but totally boring. I still want comment on current local/national events. I much prefer Bradley Jay who at least is entertaining. I prefer to sleep at night, thank you, but when I am unable to, I prefer talk and not trivia. Please 'BZ, keep on 'trucking, and find someone who interesting to talk to us in the wee hours.
