Pittsburgh Radio: Chris Winter OUT At WSHH

Cris Winter

WSHH 99.7 FM personality Cris Winter announced Tuesday on her “Cris Winter In The Morning” Facebook page that after working close to 40 years in Pittsburgh radio, her days on air are over, for now.

Winter said she was dismissed after her show on Rhenda Broadcasting's WISH 99.7 on Friday.

“When you look at covid-19, it’s a situation where everyone is making cuts,” she said. “It is such a bizarre time, and everybody is struggling right now. It’s just an unprecedented time for everyone. We are all just trying to keep our heads above water. “

Winter said she still plans to post about music, concerts, pop culture and defending animals.

TribLive reports she hasn’t had a lot of time to think about what’s next, but will certainly entertain another radio job or do something with animals. Anyone who knows her knows her love and passion for animals.

She said she won’t miss getting up at 2:50 a.m.

Her Facebook post said: “As if 2020 hasn’t been a sucker punch to the face for all of us…huh?” she wrote. “I don’t know what the future holds, but I do love adventure and I have to be honest…it’s nice to sleep in until 7 a.m.!”

Her time slot was the 5:30 to 10 a.m. on WISH, where she worked for 14 years. She’s also been on air for 102.5 WDVE, 3-W-S, 100.7, WXXP and Double X.
