After 49 years on the air, a longtime voice of Indiana’s radio airwaves will call it a career on Friday.
Renda Broadcasting and Digital’s Chuck Clark will retire on Friday after a career that has spanned 49 years. His career started at the age of 19 after he graduated Indiana High School and went to a broadcasting school in Wilkinsburg before he got his first job at WSGB in Sutton, West Virginia in 1973. Chuck would then work for WBZY in New Castle before returning to Indiana to work for WDAD and WQMU for 25 years before going to WCCS in 2000. He joined WLCY when the station was acquired by Renda Broadcasting in 2003, and has worked for all four of Your Hometown Radio Stations since 2004.
Clark has been a morning host for multiple stations, a disc jockey and a news anchor, but his passion has been calling high school sporting events, including Indiana and Blairsville Football. He said that the reason he has a passion for high school sports is because it is pure competitIon.
Clark talked about what he felt was the secret to his success and longevity in the broadcast field.
After his retirement on Friday, Clark plans on spending time with his grandchildren and doing some travelling.
