Connor Kenny has announced his departure from Top 40 B100 Quad Cities IA/IL, where he has been hosting middays.
Kenny, blogging on the B100 website, said, “If you’ve followed radio DJs in the past few years, most aren’t leaving on their own accord. Typically, people in this industry get told to leave because of layoffs and don’t get to tell listeners goodbye. In this rare instance, I get to tell you and prepare you for my exit at B100 as I prepare for a new job in the industry.”
The Quad Cities area native stated he grew up listening to B100.
“For the past 5 years, I’ve had the extreme pleasure and opportunity to work on a radio station that is close to my heart. Every radio DJ in this industry dreams of doing one thing: working at the radio station they grew up listening to. For me, that is B100.”
“I thought the only time I was going to even be close to being on this station was when I was given an opportunity to shadow Red Hot Brian Scott and Cody Tucker back in the summer of 2013. Without them so graciously allowing me to watch and help, I don’t think I would have even gotten into radio because once I walked into the same studio that I’m about to leave, I was hooked.”
Kenny has not announced where he is heading.
