After 33 1/3 years, Kitty Dunn has announced her retirement from Audacy’s AAA 105.5 Triple M in Madison, WI. She has been the longtime co-host of the station’s morning show alongside cluster OM and Triple M PD Jonathan Suttin.
Dunn’s last day will be tomorrow (8/29)
She told Barrett Media that the time seemed right, “Well, radio is changing. I’m changing. My boyfriend is retired. It seems awfully appealing not to get up when it’s super dark outside.”
Dunn said that meeting and interaction with the listeners is what she will miss the most.
“Meeting the listeners and knowing the impact that I’ve had on their lives. So many people come up to me and they’re like, I don’t know how I’m going to start my morning if you ever really retire. They’ll be okay. I told them they could be my friend on Facebook and I’d write snarky comments to them.”
And what does she anticipate to be the hardest part about stepping away after all this time?
“I think the thing that will be hardest for me is when I see a story in the news or something going on, and I think of what I would say about it on the radio. Because when you’re in radio and you’re an air personality, your life is show prep.”
You can stream Dunn’s final morning show here tomorrow morning from 5 to 10 CT.
