After 35 years in radio and 24 years at B101, today is Bill Tafrow’s last day… to quote him, he’s “trading the airwaves for the fairways…. “ Bill has been part of the B101 family since 2003, starting on overnights before moving to mornings doing news and eventually co-hosting mornings with Jenn Ryan for over a decade. After Jenn retired, Bill moved to afternoons and has been keeping you company on your drive home. Today we’d like to thank Bill for all of the years of entertainment, the laughs, the memories... all of it. It is bittersweet for sure, but we are excited to celebrate and honor our friend Bill all morning! We’ll share stories, have guests in the studio, and play you some of Bill's best (and questionable) on air moments. Cheers to you, Billy!

Over the past two weeks we've been playing Murder on the Morning Show. Here is the complete mystery case laid out for you.... Someone at B101 has committed a killer crime… and Kathy Romano is the victim! (not really, it's spooky season, people!) Put your Clue skills to the test and crack the case: Who did it, with what, and in which room? The detective to crack the case wins a pair of tickets to see Clue at The Playhouse in Wilmington, DE, plus an overnight stay and dinner at the fabulous Hotel DuPont!

Big congrats to Detective Delaware Dave for solving the Murder on the Morning Show. After two weeks of listening to our murder mystery unfold, he was able to piece together the clues and tell us who "killed" Kathy, with what, and why. He won tickets to see Clue at The Playhouse in Wilmington plus an overnight stay with dinner at the Hotel DuPont! Happy Halloween!
