McKay Departs WGH:
Max WGH/Norfolk PD Mark McKay has exited the station after 19 years. McKay joined WGH in 1999 and was upped to PD in 2012. He has been filling in as morning co-host since October. "I am proud of what I accomplished in nearly 20 years with WGH," McKay tells Country Aircheck. "It is a great staff, and I leave with great memories." McKay is currently on the hunt for his next opportunity; reach him here. Max/Norfolk VP/Operations & Programming Rusty James will handle PD duties in the interim, and midday host Karen West will fill in for mornings. The search is on for a PD and morning co-host. Contact James here.
