Milwaukee Radio: Morning Host Shaun Ridder Out At iHM's WMIL-FM

"Ridder, Scott and Shannen," the morning show at Milwaukee country radio station WMIL-FM (106.1), is now "Scott & Shannen."

Shaun "Ridder" Ridderbush is no longer on the show, according to The Milwaukee Sentinel, citing ongoing layoffs at WMIL's parent company, iHeartMedia, for Ridder's exit.

In an email, Ridder confirmed that he was "let go" April 3 but the station didn't make it official until a couple of days later. "I have not even began to think," Ridder said of his future plans.

Scott Dolphin and Shannen Oesterreich are still listed as hosts of the show — which, as "Ridder, Scott and Shannen," is nominated for large-market on-air personality of the year at the Academy of Country Music Awards, being given out May 11.

Ridder joined WMIL's morning show in 2017, after spending three years as imaging director and afternoon host at the station. He joined the show after longtime personality Karen Dalessandro retired. (Dalessandro un-retired soon after and joined then-all-country station WKTI-FM, and later worked at WKLH-FM before leaving Milwaukee for good for a gig at a radio station in Phoenix.)

In addition to his radio gig, Ridder has a YouTube channel dedicated to kayak bass fishing called "Return2Wild with Shaun Ridder."
