Congrats to Bob Seymour for 30 years!

Seriously? No congratulatory threads?

Anyways, great job Bob. One of the few good DJs left in this market.

That is quite an accomplishment these day; 30 years at the same radio station.

The only other person, I can think of offhand, that has been at the same station for the last 30+ years is Jack Harris.

There are others that have been on the radio in this area more than 30 years, but not at the same station.

Congratulations to Bob Seymour and WUSF 89.7.

Not sure if Jack qualifies at 30. In the market yes, at the same station, no. He may be more around 18-20 at 970 WFLA. I know before that he was on WFLZ (Z-93/Power 93) when they made the switch to the Power Pig; and before that he was on Q105. Correct?

You may very well be correct, I know Jack was on WFLA 970 in the 1970's and I had assumed that he had stayed there.......... I do know he had other gigs (WTVT) but had thought that he kept connected with WFLA; if not then Bob Seymour's partnership with WUSF may be unique in this market for lenght of time at the same station.

I'm sure jazz fans appreciate him and WUSF for not doing what many NPR talk stations do overnight (Orlando and Gainesville for example) and just plug in the BBC World Service overnight.

WUSF and WGCU , Fort Myers both program jazz late night and overnight.

Regarding WUFT-FM Gainesville, the NPR / BBC overnight programming is nothing more than a repeat of programming already aired during the day schedule. And, although I enjoy listening to NPR and BBC news, I would much prefer the Nightbridge jazz programming return to the overnight hours on WUFT-FM. There is definately a market void for this type programming, and since it is no longer available in Gainesville as it had been for nearly 30-years, I now listen to WUSF-FM online during the jazz overnigt hours.
