Debbi Calton is celebrating her 25th year on the midday shift (9a-2p) at Philadelphia’s Classic Rock station, 102.9 WMGK-FM. The station will mark the special occasion on Friday, August 17 with a live broadcast with Andre Gardner celebrating Debbi’s big day from 2 p.m. to 7 p.m. at Tap 24 in Calton’s hometown of Media, PA. Listeners are encouraged to come out and join the celebration.
Calton arrived at WMGK-FM as it transitioned from an Easy Listening station to a more upbeat and engaging Sound Of The 70s format. The station continued to evolve and became Philadelphia’s Classic Rock station in 2002.
When asked about her favorite aspect of her years at WMGK-FM, Calton replied, “The listeners. I’ve formed 25-year relationships with so many of them. We talk on the request line or see each other at concerts. Yes, we’re still going to plenty of rock concerts.”
“The rarity of Debbi’s tenure at ‘MGK is akin to a NFL or MLB player playing their entire career for just one team,” said Station Program Director Bill Weston. “Twenty-five years at one station is remarkable. Longevity is a beautiful thing — for the talent, for our listeners and for our company.”
