Charlotte, NC – January 13, 2025 –
This morning, during the popular Bob & Sheri syndicated morning show, Bob Lacey announced his retirement on the air. Lacey has been on the air for four decades, including 32 years with partner Sheri Lynch. Bob & Sheri will continue with Lynch and the morning team, which includes Lamar Richardson,Max Sweeten, and Kary Bowser.“We knew this day was going to come, we just didn’t know it would be today,” explained Tony Garcia, Co-Founder of Now! Media, which syndicates Bob & Sheri.
“Knowing it was coming, we’ve done the research, and we’re prepared. The show is strong and will continue asBob & Sheri.”In making the on-air announcement, Lacey explained to Bob & Sheri listeners why now is the right time is. “I was listening to some promo on the air the other day on television, and it was some show business award thing, and they mentioned Jelly Roll, Bunny XO, Doja Cat, and Zendaya. I have absolutely no idea who those people are. If you do what I do, what we do, and you’re not familiar with Bunny XO, you need to find out about Bunny XO, but I just don’t want to at this… at this point in my life, I’m just going to be honest… I wish Bunny XO all the best. But at one point, you know, you start to sound a little foolish, and I don’t want to arrive at that point.”
“No one has worked harder and contributed more creativity, vision, and strategy than Bob,” stated Lynch. “Bob has earned the right to choose the timing of his retirement. I could not be more proud of him and honored to have been his partner. I’m weepy to see him go.”“We’ve always been a listener-first company and show,” added Garcia. “We gave Bob the decision and the space to make this announcement the way he wanted to. We remain as committed to our affiliates and our listeners as we’ve always been, and the show goes on. About Bob & Sheri:Bob & Sheri is syndicated via Now!

So excited for Bob’s retirement. Grew up watching Bob on PM Magazine and listened to Bob & Sheri every morning on 107.9 and switched stations when they moved. Those two have such good chemistry and I will miss listening to them. He always makes me think of the romantic type sipping wine with his wife. I wish him all the best and I hope he enjoys his retirement. He is the best of the best!
My name is CJ. Yo BOB!!! Wow!! I was stunned to hear of your soon to be retirement. I just thought this was going to last forever, lol. I am happy for you as well, you deserve the best. I’ve been listening to you guys since 1992. I was 25 years old, trying to figure out my life, getting out on my own and you have been there through it all. It never failed, if I was having an issue, and boy did I have issues, there always seemed to be something that you guys would be discussing that would help me get through it. You’ve been a very large part of my life for so long now, I feel like you are family, both you and Sheri. As a matter of fact, if something comes up with my friends that you have addressed during a show, I will say “my friend Bob told me this or my friend Sheri told me that” etc. In “CJ-land” we are pals! I can’t imagine what it will be like to not hear your voice everyday. I want to thank you for being there, even though you never knew you were. I’ll really miss you and wish you and your family the best. I’ll miss all the updates about your girls. I feel like I watched them grow up on the radio. One more thing Bob, now that you are retiring your will have more time to think about “WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT HEZBOLLAH”, what are you going to do about HEZBOLLAH Bob!!! That whole bit cracked me up. Anyway, all my best my friend and have fun. Maybe Sheri will let you come back as a guest host here and there. Thanks for everything! I’ll miss ya!
