Not So Fast: Jim Philips Delays Retirement From WTKS (Real Radio 104.1)/Orlando

Philips

JIM PHILIPS' retirement from iHEARTRADIO Talk WTKS-F (REAL RADIO 104.1)/ORLANDO hasn't even started yet and the longtime "PHILIPS PHILE" afternoon host has already decided to remain on the air for at least one more year.

PHILIPS, who in JUNE announced his show would end in JANUARY (NET NEWS 6/20), tweeted that he got an "offer I could not refuse" and that the show would continue MONDAYS through THURSDAYS in 2018.  PHILIPS has been in the CENTRAL FLORIDA market since 1972 at the old WKIS-A (later WWNZ-A, in turn a predecessor of WTKS) and has hosted afternoons at the station since before the "REAL RADIO" format was installed.

Change of plans...offer I could not refuse. @philipsphile will air M-Th in 2018. Retirement delayed. Grin like a dog!
