Free Agent: Roxanne Steele
• RAMP has confirmed that Roxanne Steele has exited as co-host of Broadway In The Morning on Cumulus Country WDRQ (New Country 93.1)/Detroit.
Without getting too far into the backstory behind her departure, we will instead refer you to a lengthy Facebook statement Steele posted late Sunday evening where she explained that she ran up against the Cumulus-mandated vaccination deadline of October 8.
Steele originally joined WDRQ as a part-time talent in August 2018, following a two-year run in middays across the street at then Entercom Country WYCD. She was named interim morning co-host in Nov. 2020, following the departure of “Krissy T” Williamson and was upgraded to permanent status in May 2021.
Ms. Steele’s extensive major market resume includes 12 years with CBS Radio Chicago, doing afternoons on B96, and later, afternoons on sister WCFS (Fresh 105.9) until 2010, when she relocated to Detroit. After two years of part-time on Cumulus Hot AC WDVD, Steele was elevated to middays on former CBS Radio Top 40 WDZH (98-7 AMP Radio). She joined WYCD in Nov. 2015.
Steele will retain her position as a Format Specialist for Futuri’s Prep +. She can be contacted at onairroxanne@gmail.com or her website, roxannesteele.com.
