Patrick departed WXLK earlier this month. In a Twitter thread, Patrick said that it was his decision to leave. He wrote, “Simply put, it’s just time for new adventures. There’s no way I can convey how grateful I am to have been a part of things at K92. To my co-workers, on and off the air, it has been an amazing ride and sharing it with all of you has been an honor. The on-air crew I was lucky enough to work with during my time here was, in my opinion, the absolute best of the best in this business. We lived, breathed and loved radio and I hope you enjoyed listening to us as much we enjoyed crafting it for you. I don’t know what the rest of my career looks like, but the next chapter of my book is filled with empty pages. Pages that I can write however I’d like, without limitations, and I’m excited about the notion of having the freedom to choose my next path.” Prior to his 22 year run at WXLK, Patrick worked at WAYV Atlantic City NJ and KSYN Joplin MO.
