A Passion for Journalism: Why Natarsha Belling Made the Switch
So, what prompted Belling’s swift exit from the breakfast radio show?
The answer lies in her passion for journalism. “I love breakfast radio, but I have to farewell you guys,” she said, explaining that she couldn’t pass up the opportunity to focus on journalism.
With the current state of the world, Belling feels that it’s an “incredible moment in history” to be a journalist, and she’s excited to dive in head-first.
A Bittersweet Goodbye
Belling’s co-hosts, Beau Ryan and Aaron Woods, were sad to see her go, but they understand her decision. “It’s tough to hear,” Ryan said, “but we know how much journalism means to Natarsha.”
Belling thanked her team and loyal listeners, saying “without you, we are nothing.” She also joked that she’s looking forward to sleep-ins, now that she’s leaving the early morning radio grind behind.
