“This is incredibly painful, despite all their efforts to make the decision easier,” said host Jay Smooth.
The former WNYC host’s new show is on two stations in New York and Connecticut.
WNYC placed the hosts on leave earlier this month following allegations of inappropriate behavior and sought outside counsel to investigate.
The station is investigating claims against hosts Leonard Lopate and Jonathan Schwartz.
