Bruce Bradley |
A voice very familiar to long-time KMOX listeners, Bruce Bradley, has died. The 79-year-old passed away Saturday in Lake St. Louis , according to the KMOX website.
“There’s a number of people, a small handful if you will, who are so deeply remembered as personalities on the radio,” St. Louis Historian Frank Absher told KMOX. “It was fitting he was on KMOX because KMOX was such a powerhouse in the eighties.”
Absher said Bradley reinvented himself when he came to St. Louis and was paired with Anne Keefe.
“Few people realized until he mentioned it that he had been a top 40 disc-jockey in Boston for a while,” Absher said. “What we got to hear wasn’t some canned or rehearsed radio personality.”
“(He was) a real person with a quick mind, and a wonderful wit; just a funny funny man.”
Bradley’s booming voice filled the KMOX airwaves from 1986-1992. His career stops include: WBZ 1030 AM Boston, WCAU 1210 AM Philadelphia , WHN 1050 AM NYC, WYNY 103.9 FM NYC.

The official cause of death is not known at this time. Funeral arrangements are pending.
