His last radio job was as the morning radio show host on Oldies 104.3 serving the Detroit, Michigan U.S. radio market. Purtan was also a disc jockey at WKNR-AM, WXYZ-AM, CKLW-AM and WCZY-FM which became WKQI-FM in 1989.

Each year, Purtan and his "Purtan's People" crew host a radiothon to benefit the Salvation Army's "Bed and Bread" program. Through Purtan's efforts, over 24 million dollars have been donated to the Bed and Bread program. The money has also been used to purchase additional Bed and Bread trucks which make daily deliveries of food to needy people in the Detroit area.While in Cincinnati, Purtan gathered together $12,500 and promoted the Beatles in concert.Purtan had a cameo role as a police detective in the movie Detroit 9000.On the morning of February 13, 2010, Purtan announced his retirement effective March 26, 2010.Dick Purtan is now in his 80s.
