This is as much a Long Island story as it is NY. Bob announced he is not renewing his contract with WAXQ, and that his last day will be August 12. Bob of course, spent the early years of his professional career as the morning man and PD at WBAB. If you were a rocker from Long Island from 1979-2001 you probably listened to Bob Buchmann before school or on your way to work. Bob's a real nice guy and by all accounts a pleasure to work with.
Bob has owned and operated a couple of rock themed Bar and Grills with his wife as well. His latest, the The Radio Grill (which I frequented), closed down earlier this year. The place seemed to do very well, and I always suspected that the closing was his decision to get out of the biz.
Good luck you you Bob, hope to hear you on the airwaves again soon
