Rich Dickerson to Retire From ''The Love Doctors''

RADIO ONLINE | Wednesday, November 16, 2016

iHeartMedia/West Palm Beach announces that noted radio personality Rich Dickerson will retire from "The Love Doctors" on December 16. "The Love Doctors" airs weekday afternoons on WZZR-FM (Real Radio 94.3). Dickerson launched "The Love Doctors" in August, 1991 on WZZR after hosting an earlier incarnation of the show on co-owned Rock WKGR-FM. He is also the co-founder of The Love Doctors Charities, which has raised more than $2.2 million for a variety of local causes including Florida Diabetes Camp, the Challenger School playground and victims of the 2004 hurricanes.

"The Love Doctors" team will celebrate Dickerson's career during his final month on-air with special guests, show highlights and listener surprises. After December 16, current "The Love Doctors" co-hosts Dr. Glenn Curtis, Dano and Lea will continue hosting the program.

"After doing this show for 25 years, I've decided it was time to hang up the headphones," said Dickerson. "Though I'll miss my time on air, I know that Glenn, Dano and Lea will continue with the compelling insight, irreverence and cutting edge humor that The Love Doctors has been giving the Treasure Coast for over two decades."

"To say Rich is a one of a kind personality would be a major understatement," commented iHM West Palm Beach Senior VP/Programming Rad Messick. "He pioneered the FM talk radio landscape for the Treasure Coast and Palm Beaches, and has been an important, influential and fun companion to thousands of area listeners daily for more than a quarter century. We're honored and grateful Rich chose to share his time and many talents with us and wish him the best as he moves on to the next phase of his life."
