Pros On The Loose: Beau Daniels

• Longtime Detroit air personality Beau Daniels will exit afternoons on Audacy Classic Hits 104.3 WOMC this Friday, Nov. 13. Daniels’ departure doesn’t exactly sound voluntary, as evidenced by his recent Facebook post that begins, ominously enough, “I’m being taken off Detroit radio Friday, November 13th.”

Daniels has been a prominent member of the Detroit radio community since his arrival from WSSX (95SX)/Charleston, SC in 1988, when he joined the late, great 96.3 WHYT. In 2002 he crossed the street to Clear Channel WKQI (Channel 95-5) when the station launched, serving as APD/MD/afternoon talent until early 2011. After several months off, Daniels was hired at WOMC.

Daniels’ Facebook post continues, “I want to give a shout out to the great people I have worked for — Tim Roberts, Dom Theodore, Michael McCoy, Rick Gillette, Brian Philips, Scott Seipel, Jim Catfish Pruittand Jerry Dean. Also props to Paul O’Malley for what he does running Charleston radio stations where I did radio back in the day at WSSX. I now plan on returning to the Charleston area.”
