A beloved radio personality bids farewell to his fans, leaving a lasting impact on the airwaves. Willobee Carlan, the charismatic Program Director of Indie 102.3, has decided to embark on a new adventure, leaving his dedicated listeners and colleagues with a mix of emotions.
Carlan’s journey began in 2019 when he joined the station, then known as ‘Open Air’. He played a pivotal role in its rebranding to Indie 102.3, shaping its unique identity. But here’s where it gets personal: after nearly seven years at the helm, Carlan has decided to move on, leaving a legacy of success and a team of talented individuals. And this is the part most people miss: his departure comes at a time when the station is soaring to new heights, achieving its best ratings ever.
Carlan’s impact on the station is undeniable. He led a team of exceptional broadcasters, including Dana Meyers, who revolutionized morning radio in Denver, and Alisha Sweeney, a champion of the local music scene. He also worked alongside Jason Thomas, a skilled Music Director and host, and Jessi Whitten, a beloved nighttime voice. Shawn Lucero, a radio veteran, was instrumental in promoting the station to new audiences.
In his farewell message, Carlan expressed his pride in the team’s accomplishments and hinted at a new project in London, leaving fans curious about his next move. But the question remains: what’s next for Indie 102.3 without its visionary leader? Will the station continue to thrive, or will it face challenges in maintaining its success? Is it ever truly possible to replace a leader who has left such an indelible mark?
