Bill Tafrow To Retire From Afternoons At B101 Philadelphia

Bill Tafrow will retire from Audacy AC “B101” WBEB Philadelphia on Friday, October 30. He told listeners, “The time just flew. I worked my way in, up and around and somehow ended up on the morning show and had some amazing years with Jenn Ryan my former partner. I’d be lying if her retiring almost two years ago, a little piece of me went out that door as well. It was an awesome honor to do afternoons here at the B, but its coming to an end. My heart is full. It truly is. I understand when people say that, but I know what it means now. I got to do everything I wanted to do in radio. There’s not one more thing left for me to do here on the B.”
