Matt Siegel

iHeartRadio Top 40 WXKS (Kiss 108)/Boston’s Matt Siegel, host of the long-running Boston morning radio show Matty in the Morning, announced his retirement Tuesday morning after 41 years on the air.

Just after 8am Siegel took to the airwaves in what sounded like a recorded heartfelt announcement, “This past year has been a little rough; I had brain surgery and a broken foot, and started to get a little grumpy on the radio, which I hate, because all I want to do is make people laugh. I got off target, I guess you would say.”

He continued, “I’m a lucky guy for a million reasons, but five of them are a great wife and four great kids. And my great wife and my great kids talked with me over the last several weeks and helped me come to a decision, and the decision is this — as of now I am retired. Leaving Kiss 108 and starting my new life as a mediocre golfer.”
