In a Linkedin post, Crowley wrote, "After 34 incredible years in radio -- thank you, Mark Murphy, for giving me my first shot at 101.3 KGOT -- last week I got the news: my time with iHeartMedia, and likely my radio career, has come to an end.

"While I'm not shutting the door completely, I've grown to love Charlotte and its amazing people so much that my days of packing up and moving are officially over.

"I'm incredibly proud of my time at iHeart, especially at WEND, where I had the privilege of working alongside the brilliantly talented Woody & Wilcox Show. Together, we hit the highest ratings in the brand's history-a highlight I'll always cherish.

"A huge thank you to Lisa Worden, Garner Goin, and Steve Geoffries for your insight, guidance, and for always being willing to listen. And to Chris Rozak, the epitome of a team player, thank you for being an outstanding colleague."
