Terry Clifford retired in 2023 following a 37-year run as part of the morning and midday shows at WBEE in Rochester. Now, she’s returning to the airwaves with CJ Country.
Clifford will helm middays for CJ Country, which recently closed on its purchase of an AM signal and several translators that will cover the areas between Buffalo and Rochester in upstate New York.
“Terry has spent decades entertaining listeners across Rochester and beyond with her warmth, personality, and unmistakable voice,” the station said in a statement announcing her return. “Now she’s bringing that same energy to CJ Country, keeping you company through the middle of the day with the mix of old and new country you love. Whether you’ve listened to Terry for years or you’re meeting her for the first time, we’re excited to have her on board.”
Terry Clifford will begin her tenure with CJ Country beginning on Wednesday, April 1st. In a post on social media, she joked that it was not an April Fool’s joke, no matter how much she loves to play them.
She replaces Kelli Carson, who exited the daypart last year.
