According to a message on the Bill Young Productions website, its founder, Bill Young, has passed away.
Young was an icon in the radio and voice over industry, and author of the book 'Dead Air: The Rise and Demise of Music Radio.' He was also the voice of ABC-13 for several years.
Right now, we don't know a cause of death. Once we learn more, we'll post it here.
This is the message posted on the Bill Young Productions site:
"It is with great sadness we must inform you of the passing of our founder, leader, and mentor Bill Young. Bill was not only the driving force of our industry - he created it, and most certainly was the voice of it. We will miss Bill's incredible voice and big heart every day.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests that a contribution be made to the Alpha-1 Foundation, or to the charity of your choice. Tributes may be left on the website of the Settegast-Kopf Funeral Home at Sugar Creek."
