WGRR Hosts Exit Radio After Marconi Win!

Keith Mitchell, Program Director, WGRR-FM, and Operations Manager, Cumulus Cincinnati, noted: “Chris and Janeen and Married With Microphones are part of the fabric of Cincinnati, waking us up with laughter every morning. But their reach goes beyond the radio with their charity efforts and work in the community. SPCA Cincinnati, Disabled American Veterans and The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society are just three of the numerous charities they have worked with to draw attention and much needed funding. It’s been my privilege to work with them for 17 years. They will always be remembered for their impact on Cincinnati radio.” 

Chris O’Brien commented: “2024 will mark 60 years since I first went on the air in my South Carolina hometown. I have had one amazing career, specifically since arriving in Cincinnati in 1974. My nearly 50 years in Cincinnati radio – 32 years at WGRR and the last 28 with Janeen as cohost – have been phenomenal. It’s all due mainly to our loyal listeners. The greatest compliment we have continually received is “you sound just like us!” Thank you for letting us tell our stories and for making us a part of your family.” 

Janeen Coyle remarked: “For 45 years, I have been fortunate to work right here in my hometown. It has always been about one thing for me: the listener. Whether I’m talking to them on the phone, out in public or in my mind’s eye. I focus on that one person as they drive to work or fix a cup of coffee in their kitchen, to bring a laugh, a smile, or a memory. I thank those people for allowing Chris and me to be their friends for our 28 years together on WGRR. I will miss you.”
