Grand Rapids Radio: Andy&Dave OUT At WFGR-FM

Andy & Dave

Andy O'Riley and Dave Kaechele were dropped Friday by the Townsquare Media WFGR 98.7 FM, according to mlive.com. 

O'Riley confirmed their departure hours later on Friday on their Facebook page for the "Andy and Dave in the Morning Show".

"Thank you for a great run at WFGR. We enjoyed your company; we appreciate you being part of the show, and we certainly wish the best to the staff there," O'Riley said. "I hoped we would have had a little longer time with you. But, it wasn't to be."

Tom Cook, brand manager for Townsquare Media Grand Rapids, on Sunday said ratings were to blame.

Weeks ago, former mid-day personality Matt Hendricks also was dropped from Classic Hits 98.7's lineup.

"Andy and Dave in the Morning" debuted in October 2012 with Russ Hines, vice president and general manager of Townsquare Media Grand Rapids trumpeting that Andy and Dave's local insight will bring a fresh perspective to our community."

O'Riley began his radio career in Grand Rapids in 1989 at WKLQ-FM. He was on air at WMRR-FM in Muskegon and 101.3 The Fox in Grand Rapids prior to joining WFGR.
