Joe Cicero is leaving WZSR “Star 105.5” in Crystal Lake, IL, after 15 years of co-hosting the morning show with Tina Bree.
Cicero announced that his final show will be Friday, and in January, he will join the McHenry Outdoor Theater.
Cicero told the Shaw Local News Network that his time at the station was “nothing short of amazing. I never saw myself do anything outside of radio.”
Station Manager Kathleen Cahill said in a prepared statement, “For the last fifteen incredible years, Joe and Tina have been the voices listeners tuned in to every morning creating a remarkably strong bond with our audience. After getting up everyday before dawn to entertain and connect with our community, Joe Cicero has decided to step back from his role as Star’s beloved morning show host to allow himself more time to pursue a new opportunity.”
Bree added, “It’s been 15 crazy and incredible years on the air. Thank you for allowing us into your lives, your homes, and your hearts. Your support, laughter, and connection have meant the world to us and kept us going for all those years. Though this chapter ends, the memories and moments we’ve shared will stay with me forever.”
Cicero’s new position as McHenry Outdoor Theater Marketing Director allows the 48-year-old to indulge his love of movies.
“I love movies. My whole life, I have loved movies,” Cicero said.
