Abe Kanan 95.5 Exit
The Angi Taylor Show Executive producer and co-host Abe Kanan left the show due to contract issues with WCHI-FM, also known as Rock 95.5 Chicago.
Many radio personalities have undergone significant changes at a time when networks are losing money, laying off staff, and adding new shows. While others have been handed notices, in other cases, talent has chosen to advance their careers elsewhere. So it’s easy to assume that the state of the industry is to blame when news of popular radio personalities leaving their networks makes headlines.
But many contract disputes are the result of disagreements over “green,” or money. After The Angi Taylor Show co-host and 95.5 Chicago radio executive producer Abe left the show, fans clamored for information about her departure. Here’s 4-1-1.
Rock 95.5 Chicago’s Abe, who spent three years as executive producer and co-host, outlined his reasons for leaving The Angi Taylor Show in an Instagram post on July 25, 2023. “After negotiations with Rock 95.5, we were unable to come to an agreement on a new contract,” Abe said in his online statement. “I loved every minute of working at this station and with Angi. Angi is the best. There are too many to name, but I’ve worked with so many great people. Our listeners are amazing. Thank you for spending the morning with me for the past three years. Thank you to everyone. I salute you.”
Abe Kanan New Job
While Abe Kanan has been fairly transparent about his intentions to leave 95.5 in his social media posts, he has been tight-lipped about his future plans for his radio career. So details about his new job have yet to be made public. Fans curious about his future probably won’t have to wait long for him to secure another position.
After all, according to Radio Insight, Abe has a very impressive resume that includes stints at WLUP Chicago, WIIL Kenosha WI, and WDYL Richmond in addition to hosting Howard 101 on SiriusXM. Additionally, from 2019 to 2020, Abe worked the morning shift at Cumulus Media Rock X93.9, WNDX Indianapolis, and later found out he was laid off from WKQX Chicago due to COVID-19 cuts.
