CKLW Talk Show Veteran Says Goodbye After 38 Years

It's rare enough to have been in radio for 38 years. It's even less likely you'll spend all that time at the same station. That's what veteran morning talk show host Lisa Williams takes away with her as she finishes an amazing run Friday at the Big 8, a span that lasted almost four decades.

In all that time, she worked with only two co-hosts. And she admits going into retirement at the tender age of just 57 will be different.

“Nobody likes change. It’s going to be a bit of an adjustment for me and it’s going to be an adjustment for our listeners.”

Re: CKLW Talk Show Veteran Says Goodbye After 38 Years

The real reason Lisa Williams decided to retire is a sad one. But as someone who’s been there and done that with my own late mother, I know exactly where’s she’s coming from – and what she’s letting herself in for. Based on my own experience, I can say she’s in for a rough ride – bit it’s one of the most rewarding thigs she’ll ever do in her life. I wish her luck.
