Longtime WMMM 105.5 FM Triple M radio personality and
program director Pat Gallagher will have his last on-air shift on the station
between 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Thursday.
According to captimes.com, Gallagher’s last show was kicked
it off with R.E.M.'s "It's the End of the World as We Know It (And I Feel
Fine)."
Gallagher found out from the station’s parent company,
Entercom, this week that his position was being eliminated. Gallagher has been
with the station since 1992, and his Facebook page and Triple M’s website were
flooded with messages from well wishers.
“He is also the kindest guy I know in a tough business,”
WMMM morning host Jonathan Suttin wrote on the station’s website. “His only
downfall is he does a really crappy job of picking morning DJs.”
In addition to hosting the station’s popular “Radio Deli”
lunch hour show, Gallagher was the station’s program director since 1998. An
avid cyclist, he’s used his passion for bicycling to raise thousands of dollars
for charities, including several AIDS rides.
