A longtime 550 WDUN host is set to exit. Martha Zoller has decided it’s time to ride off into the sunset and call it a career.
What We Know: Martha Zoller has spent nearly 25 years with the station over the course of two separate stints. She was a part of the lineup from 1994 to 2009. She then rejoined the station in 2019. She currently hosts a show from 9-11 AM. Her final show is slated for Friday, June 26th. However, after she departs her program, she’ll remain with the 550 WDUN as a political analyst. She’ll also host a daily commentary for the station.
What They Said: “This has been one of the great privileges of my professional life. WDUN has allowed me to talk with governors, senators, local leaders, neighbors, and listeners who care deeply about their communities. I’ve had a front-row seat to history, politics, and the people who shape North Georgia. I am grateful for every conversation, every caller, and every experience I’ve had on WDUN.” -Martha Zoller
What Remains Unclear: Who, if anyone, will replace Zoller in the window. 550 WDUN hosts a local morning show from 5:30-9 AM ahead of Zoller’s show, but is nationally syndicated for the remainder of the day.
What It Means: Martha Zoller has been a staple on 550 WDUN for decades. Her exit leaves a hole in the station’s lineup that will be diffiuclt to replace. However, coming to an agreement to keep a daily commentary and to make appearances as a political analyst is a win for her, the station, and the audience.
