The End...My Friend

Post by Dave Allen »

After 20 years Dave In The Morning is coming to an end. I have decided to leave the morning show at WVOW in Logan. I have given 25 years to this business but I feel its time to move on. I'm leaving WVOW on very good terms. They even used the term "legendary" in the recruitment ads! I have started my own company, Dave Allen Communications, and you will be hearing much more about that in the months to come. In the meantime the question..how does one LEAVE radio? I will still be involved with WVOW. I will still be doing the bulk of the remotes, but the daily grind of getting up at 3am is over. I have given 25 years to this business and need advice from my brothers and sisters. The man with a 62.3 share is stepping down. Help!! LOL

62.3? Whoa, baby!

Congratulations on leaving on your own terms, Dave, and for your new company! I thoroughly enjoyed the few times we've gotten to talk to each other.

Thanks, Rock. Some plans on hold. Seems the guy they hired to replace me is currently in jail.

It happens.

No, wasn't him. Search continues, though. New company launches January 1st so I guess I will do both for a while.
