In a Statement scheduled to air on WKDD this morning (10/30) at 7:45a, PATRICK explains his upcoming departure. "I have decided that the time has come for me to step away from this microphone. WKDD, and this, the greatest audience in all of radio has been my home for over 30 years. That is ALL of my adult life. I have had the greatest job in the world, but now the time has come to say goodbye. You have given my family a gift that is greater than you will ever know. Thank you!"
PATRICK started his AKRON radio career at what was then Rock station 96.5 WCUE in JULY of 1979. The station later morphed into Top 40 WKDD.
