Janet Snyder Doing Last Show Friday After 32 Years On WKSE-FM Buffalo
She's believed to be the only primary female morning radio show host in the U.S. And after Friday's program ends, she'll be something else - retired.
Janet Snyder's Friday finale on Kiss 98.5 in Buffalo concludes a career that's been going on at the station for an amazing 32 years. And she's leaving not only at the top of the ratings, but on top of her game.
So why now? It's all about timing.
“I’ve learned recently, you can make a lot of money, but the one thing you can’t buy is time. I don’t want to take that for granted. That’s being like the deep me.”
Snyder and her second husband, Jeff Bailly, the chief executive officer of UFP Technologies, Inc., which specializes in single-use and single-patient medical devices, decided to retire at the same time. He retires next week."
A KISS goodbye: Janet Snyder bids farewell to her historic radio run
WGRZ did a special report with Snyder on Thursday. You can see it here.

Never heard of Janet Snyder or listened but congrats to her on a long and successful career. Looks like she was 18 or 19 when she started at WKSE.

It doesn't say that at all.
...if she wanted to extend her legendary career as the first woman in the country believed to host a Top 40 morning show.

Karen Carson has been in the NY market for 30+ years, but not at the same station. She has been doing AM Drive at WNEW for 15 years.

Daniels has only been in the Morning Drive chair for close to four years. She replaced Bill Lacy who retired after 20 years of waking up WHTT listeners.

Not surprising since CKWR operates on 98.5 as does WKSE.

Liz Mantel did mornings solo when 107.7/104.7 was known as The Wolf.
Also: Though she has an on-air partner, Cass is the primary AM drive host at 103.3 .

I'll also add that the reddit group r/buffalo had someone post about Janet's final show...and let's just say that Snyder-away from the mic-does NOT have the best reputation.

And here I was of the understanding that she preformed her part of the show remotely from Boston. Was that not the case?

I doubt she will last 30+ years in her current position.
