Randi Kirshbaum exited Saga Communication’s cluster in Portland ME after 38 years today.

Kirshbaum, who served as Brand Manager of AC “Coast 93.1” and AAA 98.9 WCLZ where she also hosted afternoons as well as midday host at Country 101.9 WPOR, stated on Facebook that Saga gave the reason that, “The reason they gave is that I cannot effectively do my manager’s job without being in the office, although I have been successfully working remotely for the past six weeks. Due to a serious medical condition that would make contracting Covid-19 very dangerous, if not fatal for me, my doctor has recommended that I continue to work from home in order to avoid exposure. I am not willing to ignore my doctor’s guidance and put my health in jeopardy.”

Kirshbaum joined WMGX as midday host in 1982 eventually rising to Program Director. She would move on-air to WCLZ and WPOR in 2006. She added programming duties for WCLZ in 2014. Prior to coming to Portland, Kirshbaum worked on-air at Freeform Rockers KQRS Minneapolis, WKTK Baltimore, WHFS Washington DC, and WBCN Boston.
