93 WIBC midday host Rob Kendall won’t return to the Indianapolis news/talk station following a contract dispute that left him off the air for several weeks.
Last month, representatives for Kendall shared that he had been missing from the Kendall & Casey program due to a contract dispute. He shared that his contract ended on October 31st, and proposed some changes that had been unresolved since that time.
In a post on social media, Rob Kendall shared that he won’t return to the station where he had worked since joining in 2017.
“Today was my last day as a part of 93.1 WIBC,” Kendall wrote. “I want to thank the literally hundreds of thousands of you who became a part of my radio family the last 9 years. Being your voice, using my platform to speak up for you, to take on the powerful, the connected, the politicians, has been the greatest honor of my professional life.
“I also want to thank those of you who have written letters in support of me the last 3 weeks,” he continued. “I was so moved by the outcry demanding this beautiful thing we’ve forged together keep going at the place we made it happen. If you want the answers why it will not occur, that’s a question for Urban One.”
Radio One Indianapolis representatives confirmed that Kendall had indeed departed the station.
“Rob Kendall is no longer with the company,” a statement from the company shared. “As a matter of company policy, we do not comment on personnel matters. We wish him well in his future endeavors.”
