Central Maine Radio Legend Don Brown Dead at 77


Sad to report that longtime central Maine air personality Don Brown has died. He was 77. Brown passed away Thursday due to complications from multiple strokes. WMME-FM (92 Moose) Augusta ME said in an online post that Brown was the creator of the "Love Fund." His previous on-air stints spanned some 49 years and included stops at WABK-FM, WKCG and, most recently, Oldies WCTB-FM (Cruisin' 93.5) in Waterville.

"Our thoughts, prayers and condolences are with his family, friends and the hundreds of people he worked with and touched over the years," wrote Matt James in a post on Facebook.

Brown was inducted into the Maine Broadcasting Hall of Fame In 2006 and he was honored with the Citizen of the Year award in 2011.
