Cleveland sports radio is going to sound very different next month. Adam The Bull has announced he will leave Audacy’s 92.3 The Fan after April 1. He made the announcement on Wednesday and said that he has been overwhelmed by the support.
“I just felt like I needed a change and I want to do something different,” Adam said in an interview with the online publication Scene. “I may even delve into other things, maybe politics, maybe talking about being a man with weight issues, branching out to other things. Now was the time but nothing specific beyond I thought it would be a better time for the station than in the summer and right before football season. I’m leaving the station on great terms and I wanted them to be able to have time to find someone. I want them to be in good shape going into football season.”
Adam The Bull reiterated on Twitter that this is not about any relationships with the station or the people that work there. He also noted that some people will likely read something into the date of his departure.
“This is going to be very emotional,” Bull said when asked what his final show with Dustin Fox may sound like. “We’ll probably reminisce. It’ll be very emotional for both of us. He was emotional when I made the announcement on the air, and he already knew, and then I started getting emotional. We’re like brothers; we’re very close. Same thing with Keith our producer. We’ve been like a family. It’s tough to give up. I’m going to miss a lot of things.”
Adam Gerstenhaber came to Cleveland in 2011 after spending the previous four years as an update anchor on WFAN in New York. In addition to his time on 92.3 The Fan, he also hosted shows on CBS Sports Radio from 2013 to 2018 and served as the play-by-play voice of the Cleveland Gladiators of the Arena League from 2015 to 2017.
He told Scene that he does not know exactly what the future holds for himself and his family. Adam The Bull acknowledged that it is possible he could leave Cleveland, but noted that he considers the city his home. In addition to his son being born there, he also says there are too many good times to remember professionally for the city not to have had an impact on him.
“I’ll miss those relationships and moments, and there have been so many great moments to remember, from LeBron coming back to the Cavs winning the championship and all the Finals runs and the parade day and the World Series and the remotes we’ve done downtown and the fans being bananas. It wasn’t an easy decision. It was tough. This is tough to give up. I just need to do something different.”
