Shila Nathan Leaves Wired 96.5

Shila Nathan the morning co-host at Wired 96.5 has left the station's morning show. Her exit follows the firing of her former partner in the morning Chio two weeks ago. The Scranton area native arrived in Philly a few years ago when she worked as a morning co-host on the former 94 WYSP Morning Show with Danny Bonaduce.

Shila gave the following farewell message on facebook:

"Hey PHILLY! My time at wired965 has come to an end. I will not be apart of the station anymore. Its been fun and a great experience! Thanks for letting me grow with u and be apart of ur mornings, especially, putting up with my nonsense on the air and on fb ;). Love u and miss u all ...On to BIGGER and BETTER things! P111 for life. Lol"

Chio of the Wired 96.5 Morning Show Fired

Morning drive host Chio of "Chio in the Morning" was given his release from Wired 96.5 (WRDW). His former co-hosts Shila and Tingle will continue to host the morning show until a main host is hired. Chio wanted his listeners to know that he did not just resign, as is the standard terminology used in the radio industry when a deejay is let go because of poor ratings. He was fired.

Chio said in an interview that he didn’t know what was next for him, but he is on the lookout for radio gigs all over the world. “Philly is my home and I’d love to stay. I would love to be in the ranks of Jerry Blavat, Hy Lit and Butterball … but at the end of the day, I have to put food on table.”  Chio’s contract is not up until June so WRDW and Beasley Broadcasting will pay him until then to sit on the sidelines. Chio had been a part of the Philly radio scene since 1995, when he brought in as on-air personality at Q102.
