Bob & Sheri
After 29 years, morning duo Bob & Sheri are exiting AC WLNK (The Link)/Charlotte, as the station’s new owner Urban One “takes the station in a different direction.” Urban One acquired the Entercom-Charlotte cluster last November in a station swap. The pair will continue to be heard in syndication, but are now looking for a new home station. Their last day on WLNK will be Friday, April 30.
Bob Lacey and Sheri Lynch issued a statement, saying, “After 29 years on WLNK, we understand that Radio One is going in a different direction. We came to an agreement with the management at WLNK to stay on till the end of the month, and we will. We are actively looking for a new radio home in Charlotte. We love our listeners across America and around the world. Charlotte is home and will always be special. We want our fans to know they can continue to listen to us via our daily podcast, our off-air Oddcast, as well as streaming 24/7 at bobandsheri.com.”
Tony Garcia, who together with Lacey and Lynch owns NOW! Media, the company that syndicates Bob & Sheri, stated, “Charlotte is home for Bob & Sheri and WLNK was the springboard for their amazing success story. As we talk with broadcasters in the Charlotte radio market, who want to connect with women in a relevant and unique way, we will continue to serve AC, Classic Hits and Hot AC affiliates in 70 markets, engaging their listeners on-air, online and via social media.”
