Marty Martinez has been WRAT's morning show co-host for 13 years. His last day on the air will be Friday, February 28. Martinez said, "After 37 years of rocking the airwaves, I believe it's time to enjoy what life has to offer next. I felt like part of the Greater Media and the WRAT family from day one til right now. I'd like to thank Dan Finn for his faith in me and Carl Craft for sharing the insanity. The staff here is the best in Rock radio."
WRAT PD and co-host Carl Craft said, "Working with Marty for the past decade has been a total blast. We had some great times together on the air. It was like we were plugged into the same electrical current. I could list a million stories, but at the end of the day it always came down to having fun and doing the right thing for the audience."
Martinez began his career in 1977 as an overnight radio host at WNEW-FM, where he eventually went on to serve on the station's morning show from 1980 to 1999 before working as the Program Director of EYada, a pioneer in Internet talk radio, from 1999 to 2001.
