Randy McCarten Announces Retirement From WRVE (99.5 The River)Albany, NY Morning Show

Gone Fishin'

Veteran ALBANY, NY programmer and air personality RANDY McCARTEN took to the airwaves and followed that with a FACEBOOK post announcing that he’d be retiring from iHEARTMEDIA Hot AC WRVE (99.5 THE RIVER)’s morning show on FRIDAY 12/9.

McCARTEN was at the station for 26 years total, spending many of those in the PD chair, and the past 2 ½ years waking up the CAPITAL DISTRICT with RACHEL DAVIS. The move wraps up a 40-year radio career, and allows McCARTEN to not only lose his alarm clock, but also continue his successful audio book recording business.

CHRIS MARINO, SVP/Programming iHEARTMEDIA | ALBANY, NY – POUGHKEEPSIE, NY – HUDSON, NY – SUSSEX,  NJ told ALL ACCESS, “While my time with working directly with RANDY was only a few months, by virtue of being a part of the ALBANY area all these years off and on - I would occasionally hit him up for some VO for spots or promos for the HUDSON VALLEY and have always been a fan of his sound. While he may be turning off that alarm weekdays, he’ll still be involved from time to time with his IHEART/ALBANY home. In the meantime, we will be looking for a new solution for RIVER mornings soon and will post the position shortly. Thanks for everything RANDY and enjoy retirement!”
