After nearly 40 years in radio, including the last 12 as the host of the Quick Country 96.5 morning show, Alan Reed has decided to hang up his headphones and pursue another career. In this video, Reed shares his plans and heartfelt thanks.

Reed first took to the microphone on June 1, 1976, as a newly-graduated 18-year-old kid at KAUS in Austin. Over the course of his career Reed worked for just about every radio station in the Rochester area.
