Oh wow, they aren't there anymore? I have sirius now so I never listen to the reg radio anymore. But, I used to intern at BLI years ago and did all the annoying work for the morning show 3x a week. Steve and Maria were so nice... I wonder what happened!

We were just talking about this at work today. Steve left for another career (I believe) and Maria (like Ro said) is on 97.5.

Found this:

Steve Harper Exits WBLI After 25 Years
July 19, 2006
By Sven Philipp



In a shock move, Cox top 40 WBLI Nassau-Suffolk, New York (Long Island) morning-drive legend Steve Harper hosted his last morning show Wednesday (July 19), leaving after 25 years with the station.

Message boards are buzzing with the rumor that Harper, who is known as the “Crank King,” is being moved to Cox sister AC WEZN (Star 99.9) Bridgeport, Conn.

While the station is searching for a new morning star, APD Al Levine is expected to handle mornings with Dana DiDonato and Big Randy.

Hungry on-air talents can send their applications to WBLI PD Jeremy Rice at WBLI, 555 Sunrise Highway W. Babylon, N.Y. 11704 or email them to [email protected].

This actually had been in Newsday a few days ago. I believe I saw that Steve has left the show to pursue another career. Maria is also gone. I know I read this is Newsday...just not sure what day. Stinks right? I used to love listening to them two!! I've since switched over to Z100.

I liked Steve and Maria... Randy is too high-strung, I find him more annoying than anything.

From Newsday:

THE BUZZ
July 21, 2006


HARPER LEAVES WBLI. Morning show host Steve Harper signed off from WBLI/106.1 FM for the last time Wednesday after 25 years, reports Newsday's Rafer Guzmán. Yesterday, the Mineola-born Harper described his departure as amicable, though he cited creative differences over the "direction" of his show. Harper began his career at WBLI as an evening DJ on Nov. 7, 1980; his tenure there is unusual in an era when radio hosts jump from station to station. Harper said he hopes to reappear on another local station soon. "People know me on Long Island," he said. "This is my place."

Chat Icon shows how observant I am! I flip through different stations in the morning but I didn't even notice they were gone Chat Icon

I never liked Maria. something about her personality and voice really annoyed me.
