Jonathan Adler, the long-standing morning host for Milwaukee Radio Alliance's WLUM (FM 102.1), has announced his departure from the station after nearly two decades. Adler has been a key figure in the station's morning lineup since joining in March, 2006, during its transition from the Rock-focused "New Rock 102.1" to an Alternative format. He initially co-hosted the morning show with Brian Kramp until Kramp's departure in 2013, after which Adler took over the morning slot on a solo basis.

In a recent Facebook post, Adler shared the news of his exit, stating, "March madness indeed! Sadly, due to budget cuts (and not performance) today was my last day doing the morning show at FM 102/1. For 19 years...and 4 days, I've had nothing but fun and can't emphasize that enough." He credited his enjoyable tenure to the station's dedicated listeners and his colleagues at the Milwaukee Radio Alliance.

Adler is now reachable via email.
