A big congratulations to Arlin! We wish you the best in whatever comes next!

After an incredible 43 years in radio, with 33 years of them at our station in Springfield, we’re sending a huge congratulations and best wishes to Arlin Somers as he hangs up his headphones!

Thank you for everything, Arlin! ❤️
