For more than a half-century, he was been involved in the radio business in some fashion. During the 1960s, he was a deejay at stations including “Keener 13,” WKNR/Detroit, and from April 5, 1965, at WMCA in New York, where he became a “Good Guy.” In the 1970s, he became General Manager of Top 40 leader KRIZ in Phoenix for Doubleday Broadcasting, a company he rose to President at in 1977. By the 1980s, he had become a successful media broker through his own company.
Years later, in August 2022, this industry veteran served as interim Chairman of the Board of Saga Communications. Now, many across the radio industry are pausing to mourn the man known professionally as Gary Stevens.
