The Hall Communications radio family has been devastated by the news and the passing of Amy McGovern, longtime radio personality and employee at our radio stations. Amy was killed in a motorcycle crash Wednesday evening in Vermont.

Amy was a radio veteran of almost 30-years, working for us on two separate occasions over the last eight years. Amy most recently hosted the KOOL 105 (WKOL) midday show, while also filling in on sister stations WOKO and WIZN. We will miss her never ending energy, her smile, and her contagious laugh.

Our thoughts go out to her father, her family, and all her friends. We will miss her dearly.
