Leigh Richards is the ultimate survivor of country radio in Philadelphia, having been at 4 country stations WRCP, WTTM, WFIL & WXTU through how many program directors?? since 1979 and still a class act. Back in the old days at RCP, Double T 93 & Philly 56 when she was allowed to talk more she was very intertaining & showed her knowledge of the music.

I think she was also at PST in the early years, and was at oldies WFIL as the "straight man" to Joey Reynolds in the mornings for a short time.
 
Anyone who either knows Leigh personally, professionally or has had the pleasure of working WITH her knows that she is a true competitor. I have the feeling that no matter WHAT format she might work...she would bring that passion for the job to it.

Nice going, Leigh.
