Hemmert Ready For Side 2
Hemmert wrote, in part, “After 45 years at WXRT, I’m going to figure out how to turn the record over and see what plays on the other side. My doctor will be thrilled I’ll be getting eight hours of sleep a night. After all these years.”
Hemmert, who was inducted into the Radio Hall of Fame in 2010, said she will continue to host her long-running Breakfast with The Beatles program on Sunday mornings and do vacation fill in as needed. In closing, Hemmert said, “I love music. I love radio. I love our listeners. And I love my radio family. Some things change, but that never will.”
