Bob Miller has signed off from Classic Hits 92.9 WBPM. His exit ends a 47-year radio career spent entirely in the Hudson Valley.
What We Know: Miller had hosted WBPM mornings since 2011, following 17 years at Oldies-turned-AC 97.7 WCZX. Colleagues, listeners, and local broadcasting veterans celebrated him at a retirement party. However, his show page vanished from the station’s website just hours after the final toast. Beyond the studio, Miller regularly supported nonprofits, including Alzheimer’s Association benefits.
What Remains Unclear: It’s unknown whether WBPM plans an on-air tribute or an archive of his work. Wake up with Randy Turner will succeed Miller in the daypart effective tomorrow.
What It Means: Ultimately, Miller’s legacy extends well beyond morning drive. Miller’s distinct cadence became the authority of the region. When he was asked what his immediate plans were for his first day of retirement at his celebration, Miller offered a very simple response: sleeping. As a result, his exit closes a chapter of radio built on deep community trust.
