Searight Exits Lima’s 93.1 The Fan And 419sports.com, Joins Barrett Sports Media

(8-16-22) Mercer County native Garrett Searight announced in a July Tweet that he was leaving his position at Woof Bang Radio after 9 1/2 years.

After more than 9 and a half years, my run with @WBRadioLima has come to an end. I’m definitely not driving home with Every Rose Has It’s Thorn on while I cry. That would be preposterous.

The following is from a press release from Barrett Sports Media announcing Searight’s new position with the company-

First, please join me in welcoming Garrett Searight to BSM and BNM. Garrett has been hired as our FT Brand Editor, which means he will oversee BSM and BNM’s website’s content M-F during normal business hours. He will work closely with yours truly (Jason Barrett), our nighttime editors Arky Shea and Eduardo Razo, and our entire writing teams to create content opportunities for both of our brands. Garrett joins us after a decade long stint in Lima, OH where he most recently worked as program director and afternoon host at 93.1 The Fan. He also programmed classic country station 98.5 The Legend. His first day with us is August 1st, but he’ll be training this month (July) to make sure he’s ready to hit the ground running.
