Anna Kinkade has announced her retirement from afternoons at Cumulus Media Rock “105.7 The X” WIXO Peoria and late mornings at Classic Rock 95.5 WGLO Pekin IL after 25 years with the stations.
In a blog post on WIXO’s website Kinkade wrote, “Welp (insert knee slap here) after a 25+ year radio career, the time has come for me to hang up the headphones and turn off the on-air light. I have often said to others, ‘The magic happens outside your comfort zone!’ and it is time for me to lead by example and get outside my comfort zone. I have accepted a position locally outside of radio that will allow growth professionally and personally. I will share more details in the future. My last day on-air will be Friday, April 7th.”
