Another longtime voice at WFAN is stepping away from the microphone. This time, it is Bob Heussler cutting down his work schedule. He won't be gone completely from the station though.
Heussler, who has been at the station since 1993 and is affectionately known to listeners as "Mr. Met," will no longer be a full-time voice on WFAN's airwaves. His last day as a full-timer will be May 12th.
"This is my last week as a full-timer," he said on Tiki & Tierney. "I will be in the rotation a little bit. It's not like I'm going to completely disappear. I'll pick up a part-time shift here or there. But for all intents and purposes, Brandon, this is it as far as an everyday presence is concerned."
Heussler reflected on being an original listener of WFAN when it went live in 1987. He said he's always been an avid radio listener and been passionate about the industry. Getting to work at WFAN was at the top of his career achievements list.
"Arriving at The Fan was a huge moment for me," he said. "I told some people recently that I am one of those people who was listening on July 1, 1987 when The Fan went on the air."
Heussler also talked about the evolution of the role update anchors play. With how fast news travels nowadays, the role has changed.
"Back then, and certainly at the beginning in 1987, the updates were the key to the works early on," he said.
