Don Alhart signs off at WHAM Rochester June 6, marking 58 years since he joined the station, to the day, back in 1966. Fittingly enough, for a guy who started at the station on 6/6/66, Alhart delivers the 6 p.m. news 6/6, and is done.
“Don is one of the kindest and most genuine persons you could ever meet,” Chuck Samuels, VP and general manager, WHAM-WUHF, told B+C. “I think that’s been the secret to his success. He loves and cares about Rochester and has given so much of himself to make it a better community. It’s cliché to say he’s one of a kind, but I think anyone who knows him would agree.”
