Bobby Holiday the New Morning Host at WDAS AM Philadelphia

A true radio veteran, Bobby Holiday returns to Philadelphia as the new morning host on 1480 WDAS AM "The Soul of Philadelphia." Holiday was the afternoon personality in the late 90's on Radio One's first urban station in the market WPHI "Philly 103.9."

During his previous tenure in Philly in 1999, Holiday generated buzz from local TV news stations who covered him as the crazy DJ who did his broadcast atop a T.G.I.Friday's restaurant until his beloved (pre-Donovan McNabb and Coach Andy Reid era) Philadelphia Eagles won a football game. Yes he slept there as well. In all he spent 20 days and 19 nights on the roof until the Eagles secured a victory.

Bobby revealed the following on his Facebook page:

" ATTENTION! ATTENTION!! ATTENTION!!! Join me Tuesday morning at 6am as I wake Philly da hell up on WDAS-AM 1480 THE SOOOUUUULLLLLL OF PHILADELPHIA!!!

The Chicago native, whose first job in radio was at a small station in Qunicy, Illinois in 1986, has made stops at various Urban and Urban AC stations around the country including his hometown's WGCI, Los Angeles' KKBT "The Beat," along with stations in Dallas and Miami as well. His most recent post was as program director and midday personality at WDZZ Z92.7 in Flint, Michigan. He will join Joe "Butterball" Tamburro as the first personalities on the reborn heritage AM outlet.

Apparently Bobby likes spending time in unusual places for days at a time...
