Milwaukee radio veteran Dave Luczak's last day on the air at WKLH-FM (96.5) was Friday, and he'll be replaced after the holidays by a familiar voice from the station.
The Milwaukee Sentinel reports Dave Coombs, who's been the midday host at WKLH since 2020, will take over Luczak's spot on the station's morning show starting Jan. 2. Coombs will join Dorene Michaels and Marcus Allen on the show, which airs weekdays from 5 to 10 a.m.
Luczak announced in October 2023 — the month he turned 65 — that he was retiring at the end of 2024. He came to Milwaukee in February 1984 from Pittsburgh to co-host the morning show on what was then WMGF-FM. According to the station, he was the first on-air voice heard when the station switched to a classic-rock format and changed its call letters to WKLH in January 1986.

Before joining WKLH four years ago, Coombs was the morning host on WLZX-FM in Springfield, Massachusetts — like WKLH, a Saga Communications station — and was a morning host on a slew of other stations going back to 1984, per his LinkedIn page.
