Radio personality Sam YG announced his last day on radio station Magic 89.9 after 17 years in an Instagram post last week.

“Today marks my last day on Magic 89.9. I consider myself lucky to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard. Though the feeling may be bittersweet, it has been an amazing 17-year journey but we must accept the end of something in order to begin to start something new,” he wrote.

Sam, whose real name is Samir Gogna, has been on air for Magic 89.9 co-hosting the evening talk show Boys Night Out since 2006.

The show became popular among Pinoy radio listeners for its funny and entertaining discussions about a wide range of topics, including those that are not safe for work or taboo on daytime radio.

Sam expressed his appreciation for his fellow DJs Slick Rick, Tony Toni and Gino Quillamor and also made a special mention to Magic 89.9’s Chief Operations Officer Andrew Santiago.

“You’ve seen me grow from a college kid to who I am today. I will forever be grateful for all the lessons you have taught me,” he said.

He also thanked every Boys Night Out listener, saying that they inspired him to always give his best on air.

“Sometimes life is about risking everything for a dream no [one] can see but you. And you can’t always wait for the perfect time. You have to go out and dare to do it because life is too short to wonder what could’ve been. Thanks for the memories,” he ended.
