Long-time Seattle radio host Bob Rivers had his final show Friday. Rivers started his show in Seattle exactly 25 years ago to the date

Bob Rivers announced his retirement Monday on 95.7 KJR and on KING 5 Morning News.

"What a thrill to be on the radio in Seattle for 25 years - the greatest community in the world," Rivers said during today's show.

Rivers announced the arrival of a brand new listener: his granddaughter, Hazel Rivers, who was born today at Swedish Hospital.

"She was not due till next week, but she knows the value of this program," said an estatic Rivers. "She knows that this will be the only time to hear her grandpa, and she is actually listening from Swedish [Hospital] right now."

"Perhaps with this young new demo, we could re-launch the show," Rivers joked.



Rivers said he will continue doing his popular Twisted Tunes.
