VIDEO: Bill's goodbye

Marketplace

Bill Radke

by Bill Radke
Marketplace Morning Report for Friday, October 15, 2010

I could talk about unemployment's rise or
the dollar's demise or
the deficit's size or
gold's new highs or
foreclosure surprise or
the Nobel Prize or
maybe Pfiz-
er's consolidation
with a corporation
that makes pain medication
for an aging nation.

But either way...
I'm leaving this station.
Gonna relocate
to my old home state
so dozens
of cousins
can have a play date.

Be as well as can be.
Thanks for listening to me
and best wishes to Marketplace.org

I too was getting ready to start using the show with my newest group of business students! It was a wonderful way to get them interested in both business and current events. We'll miss you.

I missed you on NPR's Rewind when you were broadcasting from Seattle's KUOW.
I guess your days at Public Radio are ending. You are back, but on KIRO FM Radio. Good Luck Bill.

New 97.3 KIRO FM Host
Seattle media veteran Bill Radke will return to the Northwest as host of Seattle's Morning news from 5:00 - 9:00 a.m.
