Hopping Away: Cumulus WIVK/Knoxville morning team Andy Ritchie and Alison Mencer are ending their 20-year run on the station. "I have so much love and respect for Andy and Alison," says PD Nikki Thomas. "I am sad to see them go, but I'm happy for their decision to spend more time with their families." Ritchie adds, "I'm incredibly excited about new adventures with more time to work from my home studio, spend time with family and sleep late!" Mencer shares, "It is time for me to move on, do some traveling with my husband and find some new adventures in life." The show has a combined 10 CMA and ACM awards. They have agreed to stay on while the station conducts the search for their replacement. The position will be posted here.
