After more than two decades in Baltimore radio, \u201c98 Rock\u201d WIYY midday host Amelia has announced that she will retire at the end of the year. Amelia has been with the Hearst-owned station since 2003 and has been heard in nights, mornings as part of the \u201cMickey, Amelia, and Spiegel\u201d show, afternoons, and middays. In addition to her weekday midday program, Amelia hosts the station\u2019s Sunday public -affairs program \u201cMaryland Perspectives.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cFor over two decades, Amelia has been synonymous with 98 Rock. Her dedication to our on-air product as well as our community service efforts is truly unmatched,\u201d said Dan Joerres, President and General Manager. \u201cThis is a retirement that is well deserved.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cRadio stations go through different eras, different lineups and different trends, but Amelia has always been one of the constants listeners could count on,\u201d added Justin Johnson, Program Director. \u201cShe brought heart, personality and credibility to every shift she worked, and 98 Rock simply wouldn\u2019t have been the same without her.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Amelia added, “98 Rock has changed my life on so many levels, not just professionally but personally. I leave with so many great memories and life lessons that I will take with me for the rest of my life.”\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201c98 Rock\u201d plans to celebrate Amelia\u2019s career throughout 2026 with special programming, guest appearances and listener tributes leading up to her final broadcast later this year.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"After more than two decades in Baltimore radio, \u201c98 Rock\u201d WIYY midday host Amelia has announced that she…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":479449,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[264],"tags":[18,117,6282,19,17,337,5],"class_list":{"0":"post-479448","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-music","8":"tag-eire","9":"tag-entertainment","10":"tag-free","11":"tag-ie","12":"tag-ireland","13":"tag-music","14":"tag-news"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@ie\/116556937739094787","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/479448","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=479448"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/479448\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/479449"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=479448"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=479448"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=479448"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
