Report: WKHR General Manager Passes On

From Bill Weisinger, who's the program director for the WSTB/88.9 Streetsboro-based "Sunday Oldies Jukebox" programming block:

Long-time WKHR/91.5 Bainbridge volunteer general manager Scott McVay passed away recently after a long illness. Weisinger reports that McVay had held that position for somewhere in the neighborhood of 18 years.

And in one of those odd coincidences, OMW's very first time hearing WKHR came on a drive back into Akron last night, along I-76 in rural Portage County. The station's class A Geauga County-based signal hits primarily Cleveland's eastern suburbs and the city's east side, and programs big band music...a format long abandoned by commercial AM stations in Northeast Ohio.
