Chris Emry - Where Are You?

Anyone a regular listener to 100.7 The Bay and wonder what happened to Chris Emry in the morning? Michael Fillipelli's okay, but the show was much better with Chris. I have checked their website and I see nothing about him anymore, so it's obvious that he's gone. Where'd he go?

I emailed Colleen Carew at 100.7 and she said that Chris took early retirement. There will a new morning show coming soon.

I emailed the station just yesterday asking where he was and the response I got was "Chris is no longer with The Bay." Seemed like a rather abrupt departure. I think that if Chris took an early retirement they would've announced it in advance and had some kind of send-off for him. I've been out of town for the last couple weeks and when I returned he was gone.

he was shafted by the station... trust me .. changes are to come

Cynclaire said...

There are already changes. How do you know he was shafted? Do you know of other changes?

baybad said...

i am close to him i am not him .. but i know him

Cynclaire said...

Well, I am very disappointed. Chris Emry made the show and was the main reason I listened in the morning. Did the station make an announcement before his departure or was he just not on one morning? If that's the case, it was handled very poorly. The station won't be and already isn't the same without him. Any idea where he might go from here?

baybad said...

yes the station handled it very poorly.... i am disappointed as well, no the staton made no announcment they are just saying he is no longer with the station.. he did make the show , however mike will do a good job!! i hope they dont get rid of him.. chris may or may not return to radio bit not for a bit. i will tell him what you have said tho...

Cynclaire said...

Yes, I like Michael, too. I hope they keep him. One thing they've done that I don't like is changing "What in the Hell are they Saying?" (which I've won several times) to "Lost Lyrics" where lyrics of a song are read on the air and you have to call in and tell them the song title. Anyway, thanks so much for responding to my email and please, tell Chris that he was a regular part of my morning every day.

baybad said...

yes i have won alot also.... is there a name you want me to tell him

Cynclaire said...

He wouldn't know me by name although we've spoken a few times. My name is Claire. Just tell him that he is truly missed and I would be interested to know where he might turn up next. Thanks.

baybad said...

will do

Cynclaire said...

FYI... Here is my inquiry and Michael's response about Chris:

Hi Michael,

I am and have been a loyal morning listener of The Bay for years. I was out of town for the last couple weeks on vacation and when I returned, Chris Emry was no longer on. Where did he go? I’m so sorry I missed his send-off. I don’t recall any announcement that he was leaving. I love listening to you guys in the morning and will miss him. Is there any forwarding info?
I plan to stay tuned in to your show in the morning.

Sorry to say Chris’s last day here was Friday July 11th….that’s just the way radio goes sometimes.

I hope you continue to listen!!

Michael

lol lol he needs to play it save to keep his job!!! he a good guy tho

Cynclaire said...

Yeah, he seems like a good guy--I always liked him. I thought you might get a kick out of his "politically correct" response.

I have listened to Chris for as long as I remember...my earliest memories was him at 98Rock. Chris is absolutely my all-time fav DJ to listen to. Also when he'd pop up on tv unannounced, like on a PBS drive was great.

I truly would love for him to work on radio again...he deserves it. I would even write to Sirius satellite radio seeing if they would look his was. He probably is the best talent out there.

I've chit-chatted with him here & there, & seems like a genuinely great guy.

Cynclaire said...

Yeah, I remember him on 98Rock (back in the days when they were good). Showing our age, here.

You're absolutely right... He is a genuine guy, no BS. I'm a creature of habit and have a set morning routine which included listening to Chris and Michael in the morning. Theirs was the only Baltimore morning show where the DJs didn't get on my nerves.

I think your idea of contacting Sirius is a good one. I think Chris would be well received on satellite radio. In any case, I hope he does return. Maybe he could hook up with the new 104.3. Right now they are airing the same morning show as DC101 (I think) with "Elliott."

baybad said...

I know he was on 98 but I dont recall him there.. i will let you know if he is coming on anything here in B-Moore.....
