Ed Baer today |
WHUD-FM program director Steven Petrone calls it, “the end of an era,” with one of New York’s radio greats.” Ed began his run on 100.7 WHUD in 1986 when he took over the morning show from retiring morning man, Joe O’Brien. For 14 years, Ed woke up the Hudson Valley with his top rated “Ed Baer Affair.”
In 2000, Ed retired from the morning show and began “Pop Rewind,” which began its 16th year on WHUD in April.
Said Ed, “the more than 30 years spent on WHUD were probably the most fun I’ve had in my entire broadcasting career. I wouldn’t trade those years for anything. I will miss the fine folks I worked with, but most of all, I will miss the many loyal listeners who continue to stay in touch with me. I hope they will continue to do so.”

In 1986, he took over mornings with the Ed Baer Affair on 100.7 WHUD while also beginning fill-in stints on WCBS-FM, and often heard on their Radio Greats Weekends. After retiring from the WHUD morning show in 2000 and the start of his weekend show, “Pop Rewind,” Ed also began a four year run with Sirius Satellite Radio, where he did the morning show on the 50’s and 60’s channels.
