Richards departing mornings; LaQuatra to anchor

Radio Insight reports WDSY (107.9) morning host Stoney Richards will leave the station for the second time to focus on his acting career. Richards returned to WDSY after some time at sister KDKA-AM (1020) to relaunch its then-faltering morning show. His departure will be official next week, but Kristen Buccigrossi and Maria D’Antonio will remain as the station searches for a new co-host.

WTAE announced today that Elena LaQuatra has been promoted to weekday morning traffic reporter and noon anchor beginning Monday. LaQuatra, a native of Mount Lebanon, grew up watching Channel 4 and said in a press release that she is honored to carry on the station’s tradition of serving Southwestern Pennsylvania.
