Phil Watlington |
The longest on-air radio personality in Danville , VA.
is retiring.
Phil Watlington works at WBTM 1330 AM and WAKG 103.3 FM. He
started working there 51 years ago, just a few years after high school.
According to WSET-TV, Watlington has been on-air doing
various shows, voicing commercials, and doing Public Service Announcements.
Most recently he hosted 'The Swing Shift' on Sundays.
Watlington says the station has changed a great deal since
he started, but he has always considered his co-workers family.
"I never thought about when I came here in 1962 that I
would be here for 51 years. To be in any profession at any given place for that
long is kind of rare," Watlington said.
Watlington says he hopes to have a quiet retirement.
