There’s another change in middays at 93 WIBC upcoming. Host Casey Daniels is set to exit the daypart.
What We Know: Casey Daniels announced on Thursday her plans to exit the midday show she’s helmed for the past four years. She was previously paired with Rob Kendall. However, he exited the station in January. Most recently, she had been helming the show with her husband, Jim, who was a regular fill-in host on 93 WIBC. Daniels’ final show with the station will be on Friday.
What They Said: “After a defining chapter, I have made the decision to begin a new journey outside of WIBC. My time at WIBC has been one of the most rewarding and also challenging experiences of my career. Over these years, I’ve had the opportunity to work alongside incredibly talented people, cover stories that matter, connect with listeners across Indiana, and be part of a team that truly cares about serving its community. I’m proud and thankful to have been part of such an iconic, legendary station. This decision is entirely my own. And as one chapter closes, another begins.” -Casey Daniels
What Remains Unclear: Who will take over the timeslot previously occupied by Casey Daniels. The station has listed the job opening and is accepting applicants to fill the upcoming daypart. While Daniels shared that she and her husband will move to Virginia after her departure, she did not give any more details about any future media endeavors there.
What It Means: It marks another change in the daypart for 93 WIBC. Daniels had steadied the ship after the exit of her partner earlier this year. The opening is a prime opportunity, as the Indianapolis news/talk station regularly finishes as one of the top stations in the market.
