WCBM 680 has announced that morning co-host Bruce Elliott is departing the station.
Elliott has been with the station’s morning show since 2019, after former co-host Frank Luber exited. Elliott had been paired with longtime morning host and WCBM Program Director Sean Casey in the daypart. Casey has spent the past 33 years helming mornings for the Baltimore news/talk radio station.
Bruce Elliott originally joined WCBM 680 in 2015 as a fill-in host before joining in a full-time capacity in 2016 following the death of Tom Mars.
According to a release from the brand, the morning show will be rebranded as Casey & Company, featuring Casey and a rotating cast, including newscaster Maggie Hunter, traffic anchor Chuck Whitarker, sportscaster Gary Stein, and producer Kristen Haegerich.
Casey & Company will air from 6-9 AM each weekday morning.
Elliott’s final day with the station was Friday.

what is the real reason Bruce Elliott left the Morning Drive show on WCBM. Did he want to leave or was he made to leave due to problems.
I agree with you. Bruce brought a relatable quality to the mix. Casey is too bloviated. I’ll miss Bruce.
Something is not right. I do not believe that he voluntarily left. I miss his energy and would like to know where he ends up. The interaction with Chuck is not as fun. I don’t like the person that Sean is interacting with for the news. Don’t like her voice and is not funny. And what about Kirsten. She no longer interacts with them
I heard he was fired over a conduct related issue. They are making it sound more pleasant, I suppose out of respect for him, but apparently the entire station is aware of what happened. If this is indeed true, the truth should really be told since now people are trashing the station and Sean Casey.
As an occasional listener when I realized Bruce was gone I listened for about 10 minutes and moved on! Big mistake WCBM !
