Hanging Up The Headphones – Dave Retiring!

Dave Luczak is Retiring!

Honoring Dave Luczak on an extraordinary milestone… hosting the morning show on 96.5 in Milwaukee for over 40 years!

Dave was the first voice listeners heard on January 27, 1986, the day that 96.5 became WKLH!

For four decades, Dave has been a trusted voice and a source of inspiration, entertainment, and connection for countless listeners. His passion for the craft, dedication to the community, and talent behind the microphone have left an indelible mark on the world of broadcasting.

As you sign off and step into retirement, we celebrate your extraordinary career and the legacy you leave behind. Thank you, Dave, for all the memories, laughs, and stories that have enriched our lives.

Wishing you a retirement filled with joy, relaxation, and new adventures- you’ve earned it!

With Greg Koch and the late Paul Barrere of Little Feat
