WZLX-FM/Boston Morning Hosts McKenzie and Ford Depart

Pete McKenzie and Heather Ford

WZLX-FM/Boston morning hosts Pete McKenzie and Heather Ford depart the iHeartMedia Classic Rock outlet. The duo launched their show on WZLX in 2005 alongside Kevin Karlson after relocating from New York, where they previously worked together. Karlson, who hosted radio shows in Boston for nearly 20 years, died last year. WZLX plans to replace McKenzie and Ford with a new show, slated to debut "soon."

"First and foremost, we'd like to thank Pete McKenzie and Heather Ford for all the laughter, wild stories, and fun moments they have brought to Boston morning radio over the years," a message read on-air stated. "We truly appreciate them. With that said, we have decided to close that chapter of WZLX."

"After careful consideration, it was our decision to bring you, the loyal WZLX listener, a new show to take us into the future. We will debut this new show soon. Stay tuned to WZLX for more details today," said an iHeartMedia spokesperson.
