WMNF Tampa fires host, staffer and co-founder Rob Lorei
https://www.cltampa.com/news-views/local-news/article/21047792/wmnf-tampa-fires-host-staffer-and-cofounder-rob-loreiRob Lorei has been with Tampa community radio station WMNF 88.5-FM since the beginning. Lately, you could hear the Best of the Bay-winning media personality as the host of daily, hour-long talk show Radioactivity.
Not anymore.
Calls to Craig Kopp, WMNF’s general manager, have yet to be returned, but WMNF did take to social media to confirm that Lorei — WMNF’s News and Public Affairs Director, and a member of the group which founded the station almost 40 years ago — has been given walking papers.
“We are deeply grateful to Rob for all he has done for WMNF. Rob is one of the co-founders of WMNF and has represented the station well in the community over the years,” the station wrote.
“We wish Rob well in all his future endeavors.”
The station added that there there will be a national search for its next news director.
