104.5 The Team afternoon host and Program Director Dan Bahl has announced his upcoming exit from the Townsquare Media sports station in Albany.
Bahl has worked at the station for the past three-and-a-half years, and is leaving the station for a job outside of the market, he shared.
“I came up here in 2021 as a 22-year-old, and had really essentially no idea what I was getting into or what I was doing,” Bahl said. “It is amazing how quickly three-and-a-half years can go by in the blink of an eye, including almost three and a half on this particular show.
“However, I have made the difficult decision to tender my resignation, and I will be leaving 104.5 The Team. First of all, there are some things that I cannot tell you, and that is specifically where I’m going,” he admitted. “I’ll share more on that in the coming days and coming weeks. But what I will say is that I am staying in the radio industry, which is something that’s very exciting to me and exciting to my family. I will be leaving the Capital Region, at least as a full-time resident, coming up at the end of the month, and going to a different market.”
Bahl is an established play-by-play voice. In addition to his role with 104.5 The Team, he served as the television announcer for RPI men’s and women’s hockey in the region, as well as the National Lacrosse League’s Albany Firewolves broadcasts.
His final day with the station will be on Friday, November 15th.
