LEGENDARY BROADCASTER BOB ROGERS RETIRING THIS WEEK

After almost eight decades in broadcasting, Bob Rogers is calling it quits.

Rogers, now 93 years of age, ends a career that is unparalleled in Australian history, after starting in the industry as a radio panel operator in 1942.

Rogers released a statement in which he said:

“I have absolutely loved my time in this industry,.

“I have met so many wonderful people and built such a treasured connection with my listeners and team, but at my age, I feel it’s the perfect time to say goodbye and hand over the microphone.

“I wish to thank my devoted and brilliant producer Gary King, my general manager Cherie Romaro and my fellow presenters, Tim Webster, Chris Kearns, and Trevor Sinclair, I will miss radio, my listeners and my work friends, but it is time.”

His final ‘Reminiscing’ show this Saturday October 3  will include tributes from celebrities, the music industry and fellow broadcasters.
