What We Know: DeLucia joined the station in 1983. He later moved to mornings in 1990. He originally got into the radio business at the age of 17. Scott DeLucia’s final show as a member of The Infomaniacs is set for Friday, June 5th.
What They Said: “It’s been the tradition of the show generally that when one of us leaves to go do something different or not do anything at all we kind of announce it ahead of time. And so today it’s my turn … I figure if I’ve done it for 59 years it’s probably enough … Everything’s fine, my health is fine. My wife’s health is fine. We’re just deciding that it’s time to go enjoy the rest of our life that won’t include getting up at 4:20 in the morning. So we’re going to do that. I’ll get to sleep late — like I do on the weekends — until six o’clock.” -Scott DeLucia
What Remains Unclear: Who will step into the chair after DeLucia exits.
