Bob Bronson is retiring. The beloved 105.7 WROR morning personality officially signed off today after a remarkable broadcasting career spanning multiple decades.
What We Know: Beasley Media Group confirmed Bronson’s retirement from The ROR Morning Show on May 22, 2026. A New England native, Bronson began his radio career after serving in the U.S. Navy. He later attended Emerson College before building his Boston brand. His journey included stops in Raleigh, Manchester, and New York City — where he hosted the #1-rated morning show at 106.7 Lite FM — before returning to Boston in 2019.
What They Said: “Bob Bronson has been a trusted voice in morning radio for generations of listeners,” said Mary Menna, VP and Market Manager of Beasley Boston. Co-host Lauren Beckham Falcone added, “Bob is a talented broadcaster and friend who made every morning entertaining.” Meanwhile, Bronson himself reflected warmly: “I’ve been incredibly fortunate to spend my career doing something I truly love.”
What Remains Unclear: The show itself will continue. However, whether a replacement co-host will eventually join LBF and producer Aaron Natti remains unannounced. Listeners should expect continuity — at least for now.
What It Means: Bronson’s exit is part of a growing wave of veteran personalities stepping away from morning radio. Across the industry, long-tenured talent is transitioning out — reshaping the sound of local radio nationwide. Nevertheless, WROR appears well-positioned to weather the shift. As Program Director Scott Morello noted, LBF and Aaron will keep building on the strong foundation Bronson helped create.
