Johnson said, "It was great to be part of the team to improve Fanatic ratings the past 2 years. I wish all my former co-workers nothing but the best going forward. I've been at this radio game for 41 years and have met many talented people along the way -- and will always be grateful for that. Now I have a little time to enjoy the holidays and decide what to do next."
