The award winning PD will hang it up at the end of January according to Greater Media. CEO Peter Smyth said, "Charley Lake has been and will always be an important and beloved member of the Greater Media family.

"It's an honor to wrap up my career, which has involved both the radio and music industries, in Philadelphia, a city as famous for its legendary radio stations and air talent as it is for its legacy of wonderful music and musicians. I look forward to my retirement, but for now I'm just looking forward to spending a few more weeks in the company of the nicest and most talented group of radio professionals I've ever had the privilege of working with."
