Former WSNX PD Succumbs To Cancer At 54

Post by Freqman » Sat Nov 12, 2022 5:26 pm

JT has lost his battle against cancer.

John Thomas and Keith Curry were instrumental in solidifying WSNX as the premiere Top 40 station in Grand Rapids in the late 90s, crazy to think that they're both gone now.

I think he was PD when the station officially changed its brand from Sunny FM to "Grand Rapids' Hottest Music, 104.5 WSNX."

I'm surprised he was only 54. That would've placed him in his late 20s during the brief time he programmed 104.5.

The station set new record highs for itself in the G.R. book several times during his tenure.

Awful news about JT. I was not aware that he was ill.

Did anyone ever say what was wrong with Keith Curry?

Didn’t he work for Star 105.7 too?

Not that I'm aware of. He was at 104.5 when Bob Goodrich owned it. He then went to BLI on Long Island (Cox) and some station in Savannah.
