Madison Radio: After 21-Years, Pat Gallagher OUT At WMMM

Pat Gallagher
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.
