Friday Bonus
In this week’s Friday Bonus I want to make a personal note. On Saturday I’ll be retiring from what is now a small but still important part of my career. I’ll be doing my final radio traffic reports. That was how I landed in the transportation business and although I never took a transportation course, reporting on traffic was a good education in and of itself. These days I’m only on-air for four hours a week. Just enough to keep a hand in the business. The TCN and my other newsletters will continue, as will my voiceover work and podcasts. I began as a traffic reporter in 1979 with my first report on legendary station WABC. After five years as a traffic reporter I spent the next 23 working in both the private and public sectors in transportation. I came back to radio in 2009. If you have SiriusXM you can listen to those last reports between noon and 4 pm EDT on Channel 133.
