Keith Bilbrey Out At WSM Nashville

Sorry to hear about his exit, loved his style on the air.

From The Tennessean newspaper
After 34 years with the company, WSM air personality Keith Bilbrey has been relieved of his duties.

Keith will no longer be on the air, and will no longer serve as a Grand Ole Opry announcer.

“The station assured him he had done nothing to provoke this, it was that they are doing away with the midday show… it will be strictly voice tracked,” wrote Bilbrey’s wife, Emy-Joe Bellenfant-Bilbrey, in an email to music industry friends and associates.

What a disgrace this decision is. Keith is one of the most dedicated, well liked gentlemen announcers in all of country music. To let him go in this way after all of his years at WSM and The Opry, is just wrong. Management is just wrong on this decision!
