Joe Bartlett served a 37-year career with iHeartradio's 710~WOR as morning news anchor and news director for 710 WOR - - he had planned to retire earlier but when the Covid-19 pandemic hit he decided to postpone it.  In addition to his news anchoring and reporting work, Bartlett has also hosted talk shows on the station, including the long-running ''WOR Saturday Morning Show''.  He comments, ''I loved my job and have been fortunate to have been part of this great station for all these years.  I could have gone on much longer, but the time had come, where I just needed more free time. Sadly, this is not a job you can do only six months a year.  I have been blessed to have had a caring radio ownership, extremely talented co-workers and a very loyal audience''.  Bartlett and his wife have relocated to where he looks forward to having more time for golf, seeing his grandchildren, and supporting the New York Giants.
