Murphy & Meg On The Loose
• iHeartMedia Classic Hits WRIT (95.7 BIG FM)/Milwaukee has parted ways with longtime morning duo Dave Murphy and Meg McKenzie. PD Brett Andrews is currently listed as the station’s 5-10am personality. Murphy & Meg in the Morning has been on WRIT since 2008, dating back to its previous incarnation as Oldies 95.7 FM.
According to coverage in the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, McKenzie joined WRIT 11 years ago to co-host the morning show, crossing the hall from sister WOKY-AM. Murphy was a 15-year veteran of iHeartMedia Milwaukee; he was APD and midday personality at WRIT before his elevation to mornings in 2007.
In a statement sent to OnMilwaukee.com, Murphy and McKenzie wrote in part, “We are sorry to announce that April 2nd was the final broadcast of Murphy & Meg in the Morning on 95.7 BIG FM. The change that our former employers, iHeartMedia Milwaukee, decided to make was business-related and we understand that. No one will miss our show more than we will.”
The statement continued, “The past decade that we spent mornings with you will forever be one of the most cherished times of our lives. We also feel blessed by the many close friendships we made at iHeartMedia Milwaukee and will truly miss seeing those co-workers on a daily basis. Most of all, we’re grateful for our own friendship. We spent 15 years working together and became family along the way. Thank you, southeastern Wisconsin… we will miss you! Ob-la-di, ob-la-da…”
RAMP reached out to the station for confirmation last week but had not heard back by press time.
