WROR/Boston Morning Host Bob Bronson Retires
• Beasley Classic Hits 105.7 WROR/Boston announced the retirement of morning personality Bob Bronson, capping a distinguished career that entertained listeners across New England and beyond for decades. Bronson’s co-host Lauren Beckham Falcone (“LBF”) and Producer Aaron Natti will continue with the show.
After a decade hosting the No. 1-rated morning show at iHeartMedia’s WLTW (106.7 Lite FM)/New York, Bronson returned to Boston in July 2019 as co-host of The ROR Morning Show with Bob Bronson & LBF, succeeding the retiring Loren Owens, who had co-hosted the legendary Loren & Wally show for four decades. Co-host Wally Brine retired in Dec. 2016.
Bronson, who grew up in Maine, began his broadcasting career following three years of service in the United States Navy. He attended Emerson College in Boston and quickly became a familiar voice on the Boston airwaves, hosting shows on WMEX, the late WVBF, and WSSH, later working in Raleigh, Manchester, NH, and ultimately, New York City.
“Bob Bronson has been a trusted voice in morning radio for generations of listeners,” said Mary Menna, VP/Market Manager of Beasley Media Group Boston. “His warmth, humor, professionalism, and genuine connection with audiences helped make WROR mornings special for so many people throughout Boston and New England. We are incredibly grateful for his many contributions and wish him nothing but happiness and success in this exciting next chapter.”
LBF commented, “Bob is a talented broadcaster and friend who made every morning entertaining. I’m grateful for the friendship that we have created, filled with memories and laughter, and I’m excited for him as he begins this next chapter.”
WROR PD Scott Morello added, “Bob has been a memorable part of our listeners’ mornings over the past seven years, bringing charisma, creativity, and humor to the show every day. We appreciate the connection he shared with our audience and wish him happiness in retirement. LBF and Aaron will continue building on the strong foundation that Bob helped create at WROR.”
“I’ve been incredibly fortunate to spend my career doing something I truly love,” said Bronson. “From my early days in Maine and Boston to New York and back home again, radio has given me the opportunity to connect with amazing listeners and work with some incredibly talented people along the way. Returning to Boston and being part of the WROR family — especially working alongside LBF and Aaron every morning — has been incredibly meaningful. I’m grateful to the listeners, my teammates, and everyone at Beasley Media Group for all the memories and support throughout the years. I look forward to spending time with my wife Carolyn, who has been my strongest supporter through my entire career, and to shutting the early morning alarm off and seeing what the world is like after 8pm.”
