'I have a certain tendency to do things, real things, that turn out to be funny.' Beloved radio icon Lin Brehmer is remembered. 93XRT
Beloved WXRT 93.1-FM radio host and rock'n'roll poet laureate Lin Brehmer has died after battling cancer, the Chicago radio station reported Sunday.
"Lin Brehmer fought cancer as long as he could. He passed early this morning, peacefully, with his wife and son by his side. Brehmer joined the adult alternative station as music director in 1984 and began a lengthy stint as its morning man in 1991, later shifting to midday. He took time off in summer 2022 to receive treatment for cancer but returned to the air last fall.
The Daily Herald interviewed Brehmer on his 25th anniversary at the station in 2017 and asked,"What makes you, at the age of 62, still funny?"
