Radio DJs spend their whole career dreaming of this day. Only a special few make it a reality.
Happy birthday,

Bob Saget credited the start of his career to a comedy contest he won on WMMR. He's been on our airwaves many times since. We considered him a friend, and he will be sorely missed.
This. Just. Happened.
There's so many people to thank, but the first and most important is YOU! Thanks for rockin' with us for 50years. Cheers to a whole lot more!

1/ Almost 2 decades behind an MMR microphone. To say I'm going to miss it, would be a massive understatement. Got caught up in coporate cuts. Just part of the biz and the economy.
More than anything, I will miss my listeners and my MMR family. I ❤️them like brothers and sisters
She’s all around Philly, from the rowdiest concerts to the fanciest restaurants - truly, everything that rocks. Everyone wish
