Radio Online reports that Rita Houston will be taking a leave of absence from WFUV to attend to her health and spend more time with her family.  Rita started out as an on the air personality at the station in the early 1990s and was promoted to Music Director and then to Program Director.

Assistant Program Director Eric Gottlieb will become interim Program Director while Delphine Blue will host Rita's Friday evening show "The Whole Wide World."

I became a regular listener to WFUV about the same time Rita started there.  I speak for all the station's listeners in wishing her all the best and hope she returns soon.
