Former “B93” WBCT Grand Rapids afternoon host Dave Conrad has joined WYGR LLC Classic Country “Jethro-FM” 1530 WYGR Wyoming/94.9 W235BN Grand Rapids/99.5 W258DF Lowell MI as midday host.
Conrad had departed WBCT as part of iHeartMedia’s January layoffs after 27 years with the station. He will debut on Thursday as 10am-2pm host at WYGR and will also work in sales for the station.
Conrad told WOOD-TV, “This is going to be live radio and I haven’t been on the radio in nine months. It’s going to be a train wreck. I don’t think anybody wants to miss it. I got to tell you; morning shows are great but getting up early sucks! So, this will be much more fun I think.”
