mlive.com is reporting that veteran radio man Reese Rickards, a fixture on B-93 and WOOD Radio for 24 years, has been let go by the Grand Rapids-based iHeartRadio-owned properties. Rickards made the announcement himself on social media, Thursday morning. He wrote…
“Good morning, My job was eliminated on Wednesday. I will be shutting down this Facebook page in a few days. My current email addresses have been terminated, and this Facebook page is the only way to contact me. If you would like my new email address, send me a message. Thank you very much for all of your support at B-93 and Wood Radio over the last 24 years.”
Rickards, 61, had been the morning drive DJ on 93.7 FM with Neal Dionne until being moved to the WOOD news director role in 2014. His dismissal evoked emotion from fans and friends.
At least he gets a pension and his health care remains intact – right?
