WCCO Radio Personality Leaving Station Again

MINNEAPOLIS — For the second time in less than six months, popular WCCO Radio producer and on-air personality Lindsay Guentzel will be leaving the station. In a blog post this week, Guentzel announced that Thursday, March 21 will be her last day at AM 830.

The 32-year-old will be leaving for "opportunities I am going to create for myself," she wrote.

Guentzel put in her two week noticed back in November so she could volunteer with All Hands & Hearts in St. Thomas, but the move didn't work out as planned.

"While I was preparing for my trip, some stuff happened behind the scenes and I ended up coming back to WCCO Radio on December 27th. That’s the less-mess version of the story and the only details I’m going to share publicly."

She's now departing the station once again, noting that "taking a risk is scary" but that she's "excited to invest in myself, to pursue projects I’m passionate about. To find something that brings me joy."

"I’ve enjoyed my time at WCCO Radio," Guentzel stated.

"I’ve learned so much and can truly say I’m leaving with more than I came in with. I think the world of my colleagues and I’m so excited to see what is in their future. There is some serious talent at this station and I’m a better broadcaster/producer/reporter because of them."
