Townsquare Media News/Talk 950 WIBX/92.3 W222DA Utica NY morning host Bill Keeler has exited after thirteen years as part of that company’s ongoing cuts.

Keeler joined WIBX in 2013 after three years in mornings at Classic Rock “92.7 The Drive” WXUR from 2007 to 2010. He has also held on-air roles at 106.9 WRCK from 1989 to 1992 and again from 1997 to 2002, WKRL Syracuse from 1992 to 1995, and WWKX Providence RI from 1995 to 1997. CNYRadio.com reports that his show producer Davey Smith has also exited the company leaving the Utica NY cluster with only three local on-air talents.

Keeler posted, “I was informed today, following my program, that the morning show on WIBX has been cancelled by corporate. As a result, my last day with Townsquare Media was today, although I was told I could apply for other positions that might be available with the company outside the market. Based on what I’ve seen happening throughout the radio industry nationwide, I knew a day like this could eventually come, although I certainly didn’t expect it to happen today. I’m extremely thankful for the nearly 13 years I’ve spent at the Marcy studios, and especially grateful for the people I’ve had the privilege of working with over the years. These are some of the most talented people in the industry, and many of them have become very close friends. I also can’t say enough about what I believe has been the greatest audience in radio. Every day, that audience inspired me to get up in the morning and do the work I’ve been passionate about since I was 17 years old. I will always be grateful for that relationship and for the incredible support listeners have given me over the years. As for what comes next, plans for my next career move have actually been underway for the last six months, and the thought of going down a different road has been incredibly exciting. Please stay tuned. I’ll have much more to say about the future sometime next week.”
