After some 35-years, N/T WNIR 100.1 FM’s Stan Piatt has
mapped out his retirement plans.
Piatt announced this week and he’ll sign-off no later than July
31, 2014 and move to Pittsburgh .
Billed as “the leader of WNIR’s family-friendly morning
circus” morning show, The 62-year-old Piatt is the bus driver for The Morning Show which
includes Steve French, Phil Ferguson and Maggie Fuller.
The station plans to have a nationwide talent search and
on-air auditions in the selection process, much as it has done to fill some
previous openings at the talk-radio operation.
It’s another change in the lineup of on-air personalities at
the station within a short period of time.
Howie Chizek died in June 2012 of a heart attack on a youth
group trip to Disney World, and Tom Erickson died in November of complications
of peritonitis.
Meanwhile, Station
Manager Bill Klaus says “We’re looking for a talent who is fun, funny and
engaging in a live, ad lib environment”.
Family friendly? With regular callers like "Dirty Mary" and "Kegel Lady" and a barrage of inuendo and potty jokes I wonder how it could be called that? Sure, it's no Howard Stern Show and I don't expect Radio Disney but at best the show rated PG-13 if not flirting with R. Maybe the new host will be able to keep it clean and out of the gutter.
