It’s been 4 months since we heard his voice over the airwaves but this morning, Rick McNeal joined Cutter on The Rick and Cutter Show to announce that he’s stepping away.
Rick McNeal and WAPL released a joint statement via social media this morning:
Hey folks, it’s with heavy hearts that we announce some tough news. We had exciting plans to celebrate Rick’s retirement and honor his remarkable 39-year career of entertaining Northeast Wisconsin at WAPL.
Unfortunately, due to his ongoing health issues following the WAPL International Incident in early March, Rick is now stepping away.
As a result, we’re now faced with moving forward without him as we start the search for a new co-host to join Cutter in the morning. It’s a tough spot all around, no doubt about it. Sucks for him, sucks for you, sucks for us.
If Rick is feeling up to it, he may return as a guest in the future.
Let’s come together to send Rick our best wishes and gear up to welcome a new voice to the team. Stay tuned for updates on his upcoming benefit event.
