1370 WSPD morning host Fred LeFebvre celebrated a milestone on Tuesday as it marked the 45th anniversary of his start date working in Toledo radio.
LeFebvre began his run in Toledo on February 18th, 1980. He previously worked in music radio before shifting to hosting mornings on the iHeartMedia news/talk station in the Glass City.
In an interview with WTOL-TV, LeFebvre said he’s often asked when he’s going to retire. But the 73-year-old stated he still has plenty left in the tank. He won’t be stepping away from Fred LeFebvre and the Morning News or 1370 WSPD anytime soon.
“People ask me all the time when I’m going to get out,” LeFebvre said. “As long as I can talk and I’m excited about what’s going on, I’m going to continue to do my job until they ask me to leave. We have a good show from 6 to 9. We cover things that nobody else covers, to an extent that nobody else can do it. I’m involved in the community through my work with the Toledo Buffalo Soldiers and elsewhere through other charities, so I still see myself as an asset to the station.
“And as long as they continue to see me that way, there’s no reason for me to leave,” he added. “I don’t know what I would do. I would just say thank you to everybody in the last 45 years who I’ve worked with, so I’ll take the opportunity to say thank you very much, from the bottom of my heart. I love you all.”
