Legendary Rockland Broadcaster Steve Possell to End 20-year Run as Host of “The Morning Show” on WRCR

Steve Possell, host of The Morning Show for the last two decades on WRCR AM 1700, will be retiring on August 13th, 2021. Prior to arriving at WRCR, Steve spent nearly 30 years informing and entertaining radio listeners in Rockland and the Hudson Valley on WRKL AM 910.

Over the years, Steve has spent thousands of hours discussing hot topics, interviewing political and community leaders, spinning Rockland’s favorite tunes, informing families about snow closings, and providing safety tips
and advice from local experts during times when the power or telephone service went out during rough winter storms or hurricanes.

“For two decades, Steve Possell served Rockland County and the Hudson Valley, bringing it essential news, information and music. Unlike today’s social media that drives us apart, Steve brought the community together.

His career at WRCR AM 1700 stands as a shining example of the importance of local radio. Steve, you will be missed. Congratulations on a job well done!” said David Donovan, President, NY State Broadcasters Association,
Inc.

Steve won’t be going quietly into retirement, that’s for sure. He’ll be celebrated with a farewell party at a New York Boulders baseball game this summer!

From all of us at the Rockland Report, we would like to congratulate Steve on his remarkable career and wish him all the best in the future.

ROCKLAND COUNTY, NY — A powerful symbol of American wildlife was recently spotted soaring high above Rockland County, as two bald eagles were captured in flight in a striking local photograph.

The image, taken by Rockland County photographer Owey Cramsie Jr., shows the pair of bald eagles gliding through the sky — a sight that has become increasingly common in the Hudson Valley but remains awe-inspiring for residents and wildlife enthusiasts alike.

Once endangered, bald eagles have made a remarkable comeback in New York State, particularly along the Hudson River corridor and surrounding waterways that provide ample food sources and nesting areas. Their presence in Rockland County is widely viewed as a sign of improving environmental conditions and successful conservation efforts.

Local sightings of bald eagles continue to draw attention from birdwatchers and photographers, especially during the winter months when the large raptors are more active and visible in the region.
