In the News People

Eric Jurgensen, 61, of West Bend, known on the air as “Rick Jensen” is being remembered for his lifelong love of broadcasting.

He died April 29 at Froedtert Hospital in Milwaukee from complications of a stroke.

Jurgensen studied journalism at UW-Madison and rose to be editor of The Daily Cardinal student newspaper. His obituary said his love of broadcasting led him to his job with Magnum Radio, where he worked since 1994.

Jurgensen served as news director, operations manager, then ultimately group news director for Magnum Media. He was also a disk jockey for many years for all types of events.

“His articulate commanding voice will be missed over many Wisconsin airways,” the obituary said.

There will be no formal services.
