Randy Rundle will retire from his Brand Manager/morning host roles at Midwest Communications AC “Mix 106.9” WSWT Peoria IL on Friday, December 29.
Rundle will conclude his 52 year radio career. He has been with WSWT in those roles since 1990 after a previous stint from 1984 to 1987. He also served as Operations Manager for the cluster from 1990 until 2019. Rundle oversaw the station’s rebrand from “Lite Rock 107” to “Mix 106.9” in December 2014. Rundle also served as OM at 1430 WIRE/93.9 WXTZ Indianapolis from 1987-1990 and has worked at WZOE Princeton IL and WGSY.
Co-host Shelli Dankoff will also depart the station after four years. Dankoff told listeners that she only stayed with what was supposed to be a temporary fill-in position because of Rundle as she also has a full time job.
Bill Fox, Brand Manager/morning host at Country “104.9 The Wolf” WXCL Pekin, will succeed Rundle and Dankoff at WSWT starting Monday, January 8 and assume the Brand Manager duties. Mike ‘Stetch’ Stechman, who hosts middays at WXCL and afternoons at Classic Hits “93.3 The Drive” WPBG will take over mornings on The Wolf..
