In this May 4, 2018 photo, J.W. Pirtle checks the levels behind the board in the studio at WBCP 1580-AM radio, in Champaign, Ill. At 85, longtime businessman Pirtle is ready to retire.

"But other than that, I'd like to keep some community touch on it." Stephen Haas. (Stephen Haas/The News-Gazette via AP)
