Ft. Myers Ponders Life After Stan & Haney
• Stan & Haney, beloved longtime afternoon duo on Beasley’s WRXK (96K Rock)/Ft. Myers, FL, announced today that they will be retiring at the end of this month, bringing their 30+ year run on Southwest Florida’s Heritage Rock Station to an official close.
An emotional Stan Nawalaniec told their listeners, “I love this show. This is who we are. It’s our identity. We have done it our entire adult lives, and for most of our adult lives we have done it in this building. I just want you guys to know we love ya! Thank you for just the best audience that we could ask for. Thank you.”
Their on-air announcement is posted here.
VP/Market Manager AJ Lurie remarked, “This sadly marks the end of an era as we say farewell to Stan & Haney, who have been the heart and soul of 96K Rock for over 30 years. While we will miss their presence on the airwaves, their contributions will always be remembered. Thank you for an incredible journey and for being such an integral part of our community.”
Mark Haney has been on the radio since he was 15 years old, and he and Stan debuted as a team on WRXK in 1993. Their retirement will leave a significant void, not only in the hearts of their loyal fans but also among the team and staff who have had the honor of working alongside them throughout these unforgettable years. Their last official day on the air will be August 30 from 2-6pm. If you would like to send the guys a nice note, you can email them at stanandhaney@96krock.com.
