Lin Brehmer, Radio Legend For Decades At WXRT, Dies At 68

Brehmer, whose radio career included stints in New York and Minnesota, has been
a familiar voice on WXRT since 1984, when he became the station's music
director.

Lin Brehmer, the longtime WXRT radio host and disc jockey who for decades
brought Rock and Roll to Chicago airwaves with his trademark mellifluous voice
and knack for introspection, died Sunday after a battle with prostate cancer.
He was 68.

Brehmer's death was announced Sunday morning on-air by fellow XRT host and disc
jockey Terri Hemmert, at the end of her "Breakfast With The Beatles" show.

I used to listen to XRT more than any other station when I lived in the
Chicago so I remember Brehmer quite well. He had a great radio voice
and was always worth listening to. RIP
