He wrote on Facebook, “Today, I had to say goodbye to the mighty KBEQ Q104. Budget cuts have impacted us, as they have across much of the industry right now. While it’s a difficult moment, my overwhelming feeling is gratitude. I’m so thankful for the last nine years—the friendships I’ve made, the personal growth I’ve experienced, and the chance to follow my dreams in a place I love. It’s been a journey filled with navigating challenges and celebrating big victories, and I wouldn’t trade it for anything.
In the past few years, I took a leap and started my own radio company, and now I’m excited to focus more energy on growing those stations for our community and clients. I still deeply believe in the power of radio—it’s magic that connects us in ways nothing else can. I’m actively seeking investors to help take the next steps in this venture and am optimistic about what’s ahead. To my Q104 team—you are the best in the business, and I have no doubt your success will continue. Jenny, thank you for reigniting my love for being on air. Being part of the morning show with you was an absolute blast! Here’s to new chapters and the incredible connections that radio brings. Thank you to everyone who has been part of this journey so far. Let’s keep building something amazing together!”
