Jeff Hoag, a beloved country music DJ and long-time host at WSM-AM in Nashville, is no longer with the station.
He hosted the weeknight show "WSM At Night" and the Opry warm-up show, becoming a familiar voice to country music fans.
Hoag, who moved to Nashville in 2003, started as a musician, playing lead guitar and mandolin, and was known for his extensive knowledge of country music history, making him a fitting successor to Eddie Stubbs.
He also served as an announcer for the Grand Ole Opry. His departure was reported Friday, by Saving Country Music, though no specific reason for his exit was provided.
Hoag had expressed that working for WSM was a lifelong dream to preserve classic country music traditions.
WSM-AM stated it was committed to keeping Classic Country airing nightly. Stay tuned for future programming moved.
