## Resource

After 36 years of waking up Rhode Island, legendary radio duo Paul and Al are calling it quits—retiring at the end of August after stepping in as morning show hosts in 1990. Their record-breaking run makes them second all-time on a single Rhode Island station, just behind Salty Brine, and earned them a spot in the Rhode Island Radio Hall of Fame in 2008. They’re ready for sleep past 4 AM and a final send-off worthy of AC/DC’s Dirty Deeds, thanking listeners for decades of loyal support. The station is planning a grand farewell to honor their historic careers—marking the end of an era for Rhode Island radio.
