RADIO ONLINE | Monday, July 16, 2018 |
Bernie Eagan, a mainstay on Indianapolis airwaves for nearly four decades, has announced his retirement, effective July 20. "Since Bernie joined Emmis, he's hosted nearly every daypart on two stations, served as the Music Director and Assistant Program Director of 97.1 WENS, and as importantly, served as an inspiration to us all," said Emmis/Indianapolis VP/Market Manager Bob Richards.
Eagan started at Emmis in 1981 on WENS-FM (Lite Rock 97.1), which is now Country 97.1 HANK FM. His first day on the air was July 11, 1981. In 2002, he became the morning radio personality on Soft Rock B105.7 and later moved to afternoons.
Eagan was recently selected by the Indiana Broadcasters Association to be inducted into the Indiana Broadcast Pioneers Richard M. Fairbanks Hall of Fame. He will receive that honor this November.
