Rick Roberts appears to have left WBAP in August 2023 , and publicly available reports say the station did not give a specific reason for his departure. He had hosted WBAP’s afternoon show for about seven and a half years before exiting.

What’s known

  • Multiple sources report that Roberts was no longer on WBAP starting in late July or early August 2023.
  • Those reports say WBAP left the afternoon-drive slot open after he departed, but did not explain why.
  • A later listing on Amazon Music described him as being back on WBAP, which suggests he returned to the station at some point after that departure, though the exact timing is not clear from the available snippets.

Why people were asking

There was also some online chatter from listeners noticing that he was missing from his usual afternoon chair and that the station’s website and promos had changed. That kind of discussion often happens when a familiar host is suddenly absent, but it does not by itself confirm a reason.

Bottom line

If you mean “why did he leave WBAP?” , the short answer is: no official reason was publicly given in the sources I found. If you want, I can also look into whether he is currently back on WBAP and what show he’s on now.
