Kathy Romano Out At WMMR/Philly
• UPDATED: More cutbacks have come to light inside Beasley Media Group — the latest departure is Kathy Romano, longtime co-host of the Preston & Steve morning show on WMMR (Rock 93.3)/Philadelphia. Heidi Raphael, Beasley’s Chief Communications Officer, tells RAMP, “Kathy’s contract was not renewed. We are very grateful for her many contributions over the years and wish her the very best in her next chapter.”
Romano broke her news in an Instagram post that reads: “After 22 amazing years, my time with the Preston & Steve Show on 93.3 WMMR has come to an end. This was in no way my choice or Preston & Steve’s choice. We are devastated. It’s been the ride of a lifetime sharing mornings with the best team and the most incredible listeners. Thank you for welcoming me into your lives every day. This isn’t goodbye — just turning the dial to what’s next. Stay Tuned!”
Romano had been with the guys since 2003 when the show was based on the former WPLY (Y100) and migrated with them over to WMMR in 2005. Since 2017 Romano had also hosted the community affairs show Her Story, which aired on WMMR and Adult Hits WBEN-FM and has spearheaded Kathy’s Cuts to benefit Wigs for Kids for the past 16 years.
We understand that the rest of the show’s cast — CaseyBoy, Nick McIlwain and Marisa Magnatta remain intact.
