Z-Rock Creater, Veteran Programmer Bill Scott Dies


Veteran Rock radio programmer and air personality Wild Bill Scott has died due to complications of a stroke in Auburn, CA. The "Wildman" had been doing consulting for DSN Radio, as well as voiceover work.

"We are deeply saddened by the loss of Wild Bill, and can't forget his contributions to the radio and record business over the years" stated longtime friend and DSN President Guy Giuliano.

Funeral arrangements have yet to be announced by the family.
