Longtime WRJN program director and air personality, Ron Richards, died Saturday.
Richards began his radio career in 1968 in Mauston at WRJC. After six months, he joined KFIZ, in Fond du Lac, then WZUU, now WRIT, in Milwaukee. He moved on to become program director at WNUW, now WMYX, in Milwaukee. That was followed by stints in Milwaukee radio at WOKY and WRKR, now WKKV, and WISN. He also served as an announcer at WISN-TV. After three years at WGBF, in Evansville, Indiana, he joined WRJN and WHKQ-FM, in Racine where he would spend more than 20 years as program director, operations director, and air personality.
Throughout his broadcast career, Richards worked alongside some of the biggest names in radio, all of which praised his talent and professionalism.
