Read on for Ron Ross Biography to learn more.
What happened to Ron Ross?
Ron Ross was fired from Sirius XM in March 2023 after 16 years with the company.
Disappointed, the radio host wrote on Twitter on March 7, “Well, I survived a merger, a heart attack, and a global pandemic, but after almost 16 years, it’s over. I was fired from @SiriusXM yesterday in their purge. No more #RonRossMorningShow. Thank you, thank you, thank you for having me on your mornings. Had a good time, didn’t we?”
Obviously this upsets many regular customers.
“@SIRIUSXM I am so sad that you are canceling Ron Ross on Pulse. He is a great DJ and a joy to listen to during my morning commute. My motivation to continue my SiriusXM subscription has dropped to zero. Sadly, greed is killing this company and I don’t want to be a part of it,” one fan wrote.
While another added, “So sad to see this! My morning commute is not the same anymore. Good luck to you.”
But in Sirius XM’s defense, they announced that they would be laying off about 475 people, or about 8% of their total workforce. The layoffs come after advertising dollars began to dry up due to the uncertain economic climate.
