During his career, the Emmy Award-winning Traffic Anchor has entertained sports fans on the Jumbotron at the Eagles, Flyers, and Sixers games, and with his popular segment “Tailgate Takeover,” before Eagles games.

He was born and raised in Northeast Philadelphia where they always decorate for Christmas, he created “A Very Kelly Christmas,” hitting the road during the month of December and broadcasting LIVE from the front lawns of the best-decorated houses. Kelly started his broadcasting career as a radio disc jockey, working with Jerry Blavat, The Geator. He worked up and down the dial at Philly’s hottest radio stations until traffic became news and he joined KYW News Radio with Traffic on the 2s.

Bob Kelly Traffic

Kelly started at 102.9 MGK and worked up and down the dial at all the hot stations. He discovered that the music industry was starting to change. Fewer DJs were live on the radio; everything was prerecorded. His agent said to him, ‘Traffic is going to be huge. What if you DJ that?’ Traffic is live; it’ll always be live, you can’t prerecord it. So instead of talking up the Rolling Stones, Bob decided to DJ the traffic.

In addition, he joined KYW Radio’s News on the 2s, where he quickly became a fan favorite thanks to his lifestyle and catchphrases. Soon, he was reporting the traffic at eight popular stations during rush hour. In 2001, CBS 3 came calling.

With his trademark humor and enthusiasm, Kelly changed how traffic gets reported in Philadelphia and everywhere. In 2014, Kelly, who’s an Emmy winner and inductee of the Broadcast Pioneers Hall of Fame, moved to FOX 29’s Good Day Philadelphia. He is arguably the region’s most popular traffic reporter, and while he’s had offers to move to New York City and a larger market, he has no intention of going anywhere.

On Mondays, he hosts a segment called “Town Takeover,” where he heads to a Philadelphia neighborhood or South Jersey suburb to get to know a community, and during the holidays, viewers look forward to “A Very Kelly Christmas,” Kelly’s tour of the lavishly decorated homes of Northeast Philadelphia.
