WEBE Talent Storm N Norman Retires After 40 Years

RADIO ONLINE | Thursday, August 1, 2013

AC WEBE-FM/Bridgeport, CT, 108 and parent company Cumulus Media announce with mixed emotions that Storm N Norman is retiring from the Wake-Up Morning Show on August 3. With nearly 40 years behind the microphone, and as one of WEBE's original hosts at its launch in 1984, Storm N Norman has become a radio fixture in Fairfield and New Haven counties.

Operations Manager Danny Lyons commented, "In the 30 years I've worked with Norm, it's amazing, everywhere you go with him he meets people who seem to be old friends or say they went to high school with him in Norwalk! His family at WEBE loves him just the same and while we will miss him in the halls and on our air we are happy to see him enjoy the next chapter of his life."

Concurrently, the station welcomes back Robby Bridges as Program Director and mornings host, effective August 5. Bridges joined Cumulus in 2008 as WEBE's afternoon host, rising to Assistant PD before heading south in December, 2011, as PD of WFAS-FM/Westchester while also hosting weekends/swing on WPLJ-FM/New York and Cumulus Media Network's True Oldies Channel. Previously he was heard in Providence, Boston and Philadelphia.

"It just feels great to come home and join the WEBE 108 world class team once again. I'm very excited to work closely with our OM Danny Lyons and to do big things for our listeners on air, online and all over WEBE-Land! We are going to have some fun each morning; and to stand beside Danny as only the third PD in WEBE's 30 year history of ratings and revenue success is an incredible honor."
