Boston Radio: WERS' George Knight Discloses Throat Cancer


Veteran Boston radio host George Knight is undergoing treatment for throat cancer, he announced on the non-com WERS website.

Knight, host of Mornings with George Knight on WERS, revealed that he began treatment in early May after noticing swollen glands and seeking medical advice. “After tests, it was determined to be serious but treatable,” he wrote.

Reflecting on the emotional impact of his diagnosis, Knight noted the loss of his father and a co-worker to cancer. Initially reluctant to share publicly, he chose to open up to support others facing similar challenges. “By sharing my experience, I hope to show those dealing with cancer that they’re not alone,” he said, urging others to seek early medical checks to improve treatment outcomes.

Since May, Knight has undergone extensive radiation and chemotherapy, maintaining his on-air presence despite vocal challenges. He has no plans to step away from his show, described by WERS as a music-focused morning program with news, weather, and traffic updates for dedicated listeners.
