Fort Wayne Radio: Barb Richards Ending 37-Year Career


One of Fort Wayne’s long-time radio personalities is calling it a career.  Barb Richards, the mid-day personality for AC WAJI MAJIC 95.1, announced she is retiring after a 37-year career. Richards moved to Fort Wayne from Ohio when she was seven years old.

“I think you’ll know,” Richards said. “When the time comes people would always say to me, ‘You’ll know when the time comes’ and that’s how I felt when I told Kelly at the Embassy that I was ready to go.”

Richards adds she is ready to do the things she and her husband have put off – such as traveling and spending time with her grandkids.

Richards previously served at PD for WAJI from 1995 to 2012. And she is expected to continue be an active part of the MAJIC 95.1 on-air and will continue on-site at various station appearances and live broadcasts.

According to WAJI PD DAN KENNEDY, "BARB has been an important part of Magic and has served many years building great relationships with the citizens and community organizations. We wish her well in her new career and we’re excited that she will still be an important part of the station!"
