Longest Running Host on Radio

[landtuna]

Several days ago someone posted a thread asking who was the longest serving radio host. I think I found him.

On CBS' Sunday Morning today they had a piece on Luther Masingill who has been on the air since December 31, 1940 and in his 90's he is still working.

I would say former Ohio State Buckeye and Tennessee Titan Eddie George, who hosts some type of syndicated show, and who ran for 10,441 yards over the course of a nine year career.

If you want to include the longest running host on TV, Jerome Bettis, host of The Jerome Bettis Show in Pittsburgh, ran for 13,662 yards.

I don't know if Emmitt Smith, Barry Sanders, or Curtis Martin are in broadcatsting, LaDanian Thomlinson is still playing, and Walter Payton has passed away, so The Bus may have the record for the longest running host in any media. ;D
