Norton announced his retirement in September over the airwaves of both 97 Rock.
Norton has been broadcasting for more the 40 years. “For seven years doing the show from Florida, I worked in my boxers,” said Norton, wearing jeans and a T-shirt as he stood for his last shift in the studio at Cumulus Media Buffalo on Friday. After retirement, Norton says he plans to focus on charity and his church. During his time in Buffalo radio, Norton helped raise nearly $3 million for the Make A Wish Foundation.
WIVB-TV4 reports although he is retiring, Norton promised that it will not be his last appearance on 97 Rock’s airwaves.
“It has been a great honor and privilege to work with a true professional and iconic radio legend over the past few years, and I wish Larry all the happiness that comes with retirement,” Steve Bearance, vice president for Cumulus Buffalo, said. “He will always be a part of 97 Rock and it is truly great to see that all of western New York will be able to enjoy his last 80 days live on air.”
