Jay Weber has been with 1130 WISN for 35 years, hosting mornings for the past 18. That will end in 2026, however, as he’s moving to a new podcast format.
Weber will end his daily morning show at the end of the month. At a yet-to-be-determined date, only labeled as “Spring 2026” by the company, he’ll begin a twice-weekly iHeartPodcast.
Additionally, he’ll continue to serve as a contributor to WISN programming and initiatives.
“It has been an incredible honor to wake up Wisconsin for the past 35 years, and I’m grateful to every listener who has made this show part of their morning routine,” said Weber. “I’m not retiring — just shifting formats — and I’m excited to continue the conversation in a new twice-weekly podcast.”
“Jay Weber has been one of the best talk show hosts in America for a long time,” said 1130 WISN Program Director Jerry Bott. “He’s built a bond of trust and credibility with his listeners, and after 35 years on the daily morning clock, transitioning to a twice-weekly podcast is much-deserved while still delivering for his loyal listeners. We fully support Jay with his decision and are proud to help him continue his legacy on the iHeart podcast platform.”
Currently, Jay Weber hosts the highest-rated morning drive show in Wisconsin. The station did not announce who would replace Weber when he departs.

Congratulations to Jay Weber! I’ve listened to your show for years, and feared the day this would happen, however, I’m happy for you. Following RUSH, you were the best, as you reminded me so much of him.
Enjoy your semi-retirement, and all you do in the future.
