Kristi Gustafson Barlette reports in the Times Union that Randy McCarten retired from WRVE (99.5-FM) after 40 years working in local radio. "I may be doing some part-time on-air work after the first of the year on The River," McCarten said. "I am also continuing my voice-over work and audiobook narration." It isn't the first time he left the local airwaves, as iHeart Media let him go with many others in a re-organization but McCarten returned to "The River" station in May 2020 nearly five months. McCarten had hosted "The River Morning Show with Randy McCarten," which became "The River Morning Show with Randy and Rachel." His co-host Rachel Davis also left the station, and now Kevin Rush, host the station's morning show from Florida until a permanent replacement is named. Read more about this story in the Times Union.
