While Rick Dees is still playing the latest hits on all of his Weekly Top 40 incarnations at 66 (He will turn 67 in March) there was John Garabedian who retired from his long running show Open House Party last year at the age of 75. Who would consider as the oldest Top 40/CHR Presenters in different markets and other radio shows. Let's say go past the age of 50 with this new subject.

Oldest Top40/CHR Presenters
- Thread starter JonathanGabel
- Start date
In Orlando, the DJ who was on the radio the longest is not the late Scott McKenzie (as he is dead), but now it's WXXL-FM's (XL 106.7) Johnny Magic (morning show host) and in NYC, Z100's popular morning host, Elvis Duran.
Rick Dees' CHR version is still on KKCK Marshall, MN. A few years ago, both Hot 104.7 (Sioux Falls) and KKCK in the area ran OHP. Dave Ryan has anchored KDWB mornings for decades.
