First, to be working in an industry for nearly 80 years means it is an industry that Mr Rogers loves. It is also an extraordinary example of resilience. The brief interlude in the clothing trade was short lived. He went back to radio. How many people can say they love their 'job'. This does not mean that because you love your job that you are your job.
That applies to any industry. You are more than your job. It was not only radio. It was also promoting "The Beatles", hosting a TV variety show, running a clothing shop, and for a short time, being a male model in "Cleo" where objects were strategically placed in front of the 'subject' in order to not disturb the reader. You are not your job. You are also a husband and father.
In light of Mr Rogers' departure and relishing his time on the air, I don't want to be a 'killjoy' about the fate of 2CH on DAB+. With exceptions to DAB+'s "Kinderling" , "ABC Jazz" and "Double J" which have 'live presenters', there are no other DAB+ music stations with live announcers. I hope I am WRONG. After the departure of Mr Rogers, 2CH on DAB+ may gradually become an automated robojock-presented station.
Thank you,

I worked with Bob during my first job in Australia at 2CH and 2GB. I loved every second with Bob. He's a good man and a generous soul. A thoughtful and decent human being. I have so much respect for Bob Rogers and the kindness and generosity he showed me. I wish you all the best for your future Bob, and hope there are still many more amazing accomplishments and joy with your family ahead.
