    WBUR Boston Morning Edition host Bob Oakes told listeners that Friday was
    his final day hosting, something he's done since 1992. Oakes is not
    retiring, he's returning to reporting, his first love. Rupa Shenoy takes
    over hosting duties. More HERE at WBUR.

    A ceremony was held in South Philly for WDAS host Patty Jackson. Jackson
    grew up on the 2300 block of Ellsworth Street and on Friday the city named
    that street after her. It's now called Patty Jackson Way. Jackson has been
    on the air in Philadelphia for nearly 4 decades. A video of the ceremony
    can be found HERE.
