Congratulations to Tim Davies of Urban One! After 40 incredible years in broadcasting, Tim will be officially retiring in the new year. “When you’re doing something that you love for 40 years, and you pull away from it, it’s a little scary,” says Davies. “I love helping others and there are things that make me happy that I’ve been doing as part of the job, and now it’s a matter of doing it for myself.
