Radio and voice over giant Bill Young passes away, according to message on website

There's sad news to report about a giant in the radio and voice over industry, and even a voice you may have heard often on ABC-13.

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:

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."
