30-year veteran personality and Oldies WGVU-FM/Grand Rapids Program Director and morning personality Bill Bailey has died. He passed away Wednesday while playing golf (his off-air passion) during a station promotion. Bailey began his career with Armed Forces Radio during the Vietnam war. Back in the U.S., he worked at WXTR/Washington DC, mornings at WDRQ/Detroit, PD/mornings, then VP/Programming at WIZF/Cincinnati and on-air at WLS-AM/Chicago before moving to Grand Rapids.
“Bill has been an integral part of building WGVU Real Oldies,” said WGVU GM Michael Walenta. “We will miss his smile, his style, and the contribution he has made to our station and our lives. His passion for music, golf, and the community are an inspiration. Please keep Bill’s family in your thoughts.” (06-12-13)
