Magnum Inks Milwaukee Pro Ridder
• Shaun “Ridder” Ridderbush, former longtime co-host of the Ridder, Scott & Shannen morning show on iHeartMedia Country WMIL (FM 106.1)/Milwaukee is back on the radio — Magnum Media has wisely inked Ridder to lend his talents to Country duo WVTY (92.1 VTY Country)/Racine from 8am-noon and to WMBZ (92.5 Buzz Country)/West Bend, WI from 10am-2pm.
Dave Magnum stated, “We found out during Ridder’s first week with us how dedicated he is — one of the days he wasn’t able to work from a studio, so he did his shows from his truck. We knew about his CMA recognition, that he’s fast-paced, topical, and engaging, but that made us smile even more.”
Ridder, who has been a free agent since exiting WMIL in April, remarked, “Between VTY and Buzz we cover a lot of territory. I’m excited to be back on the air connecting with people. I’d done it for seven years, so I really missed it. The great people of the Milwaukee area are my life. My life is here, and I never want to leave, so this fit feels sooo good.”
In addition to his radio gig with Magnum Media, Ridder has a YouTube channel dedicated to kayak bass fishing called Return2Wild with Shawn Ridder.
