Matty in the Morning’s host and well-known face of Boston talk radio, Matt Siegel, recently announced his retirement after 41 years.
Siegel announced on May 3 that he was leaving the show and said:
“My great wife and my great kids talked with me over the last several weeks and helped me come to a decision. And the decision is this: As of now I am retired, leaving Kiss 108 and starting my new life as a mediocre golfer.”
Siegel’s longtime co-host Billy Costa will now take his place as the main host and said:
“What he’s done for Boston radio, New England radio, and all of you guys is unprecedented. Forty-one years, but he also ruled the airwaves. For 41 years. That’s impossible to do in this industry. What he did was create more than a number one radio show and award-winning radio show. He created an institution.”
The announcement comes following Siegel and co-host Lisa Donovan’s absence since April 19.
