Sun, Aug 30, 2015

Pinky Kravitz (l.), longtime South Jersey radio personality is retiring after more than 50 years covering Atlantic City due to health reasons. Kravitz covered the gaming industry for most of his career.

Pinky Kravitz, the 88-year-old host of the longest-running daily radio talk show in America, is retiring after a nearly 60-year broadcasting in Atlantic City career due to health reasons.

Kravitz has continuously hosted “Pinky’s Corner” on WOND-AM 1400 in various day and evening time slots since 1958.

“It’s with mixed feelings that Pinky has announced his retirement,” Kravitz’ son Jeff said on Facebook. “He has been a rock the past 56 years on the air. Enjoy your time Dad. You are one of a kind and we all love you!”

Kravitz is retiring after a prolonged recuperation from heart surgery in May. His final live broadcast was May 14.

Kravitz started his South Jersey radio and television career in 1956, as the host of a live call-in program on WLDB-AM, now known as 1490 WBSS. Two years later, he joined WOND and remained with the station through 2015.
