K232CX (K-News 94.3)/Palm Springs, CA, air personality Bill Feingold, known to his fans as "Bulldog," died early Friday at age 70, reports The Desert Sun. He was diagnosed in August with stage four liver cancer that had spread to his colon, lungs and bones. Shortly afterwards, he announced on his Facebook page that he had begun chemotherapy and his health improved enough for him to return to radio during treatment. Feingold moved to Palm Springs from Los Angeles in 2000. In 2004, Feingold started hosting a radio show with Kevin Holmes.

"A light went out in the desert last night and it will never be as bright again," actress Suzanne Somers wrote in an email to the newspaper. "We will miss you dear Bill Feingold and I know you already have another gig on a radio station and your guest list has improved dramatically."

In addition to his on-air duties, he served on the Palm Springs Human Rights Committee from 2005 to 2009, including as chairman for two years. Feingold was recognized on the Palm Springs Walk of Stars last October.
