GREEN BAY, Wis. (WFRV) – Maino and the Mayor have officially signed off from 97.9 WGBW as morning hosts, the radio station confirmed Thursday on social media.
The post described John Maino and Jim Schmitt as two individuals who love Green Bay and have spent their lives in service to their country and community. The duo was known for being active in the area, sharing a mutual love of people, music, animals, and laughter.

WGBW, under the direction of station manager Todd Michaels, said the show was given everything it needed to succeed.
“We would like to believe that we, as a station and company, tried to support this thing,” the post read. “We trust our folks who know this city best to tell us what to do, and we hope they feel like we listened.”
Despite that support, the post acknowledged that “the best laid business plans sometimes don’t accomplish what WGBW believed they would.”

“This is not only a mission, it’s also a business. We’ll take some weight off of Jim and John. They can only do what they do,” the post continued. “We thank them, along with Todd, for their accomplishments and successes. A new chapter in the history of WGBW will be unveiled later this summer.”
