Popular Longtime CT Radio Personality Announces Retirement
He will hang up the microphone this summer after 42 years.
John Elliott, the popular longtime newsman with WTIC-FM, announced last week that he will retire this summer, ending a 42-year run. According to the station, Elliott is the "longest running news anchor in Connecticut history."
Elliott began his tenure with the station before it became Connecticut's pop music juggernaut, and he is perhaps best known for his Lighter Side of the News reports.
"Anyone who grew up listening each morning anxiously awaited for their town to be included in the school cancellations; his soothing voice delivering the best news a kid could hear– IT’S A SNOW DAY!" wrote the station in a statement.
