Philadelphia Radio Loses Another Legend
Current mood: bummed
Category: Music


"Big" Ron O'Brien, afternoon jock on Philadelphia's 98.1 WOGL-FM and radio legend, died Sunday morning, April 27, from complications of pneumonia. He was 56 years old.

He was on from 3-7 PM during the week, and was known for his "Fab Four at Four" and "Forgotten 45" segements. For those who had the pleasure of listening to him, two things that stood out were his personality and sense of humor. After the "Forgotten 45", he would always have a trivia question that showed his vast knowledge of music.

There are a couple of tribute links, for the time being. www.wogl.com has a tribute page. Also, CBS-FM New York is playing his last Radio Greats Show, done this past December. The link is as follows: http://wcbsfm.com/Ron-O-Brien/2084423 .

Big Ron, you will be missed! Thank you for the good times.
