Arthur Hoehn was the first announcer on Minnesota Public Radio, and spent 44 years there starting when he was the first professional announcer on its first classical music station, KSJR-FM (90.1) in Collegeville. He did everything there, from moving equipment to talking about classical music, and outside of Minnesota, he took a job on a Mexican border blaster station where he was known as "Fat Daddy Washington," a sidekick to the legendary Wolfman Jack. Hoehn, a recent inductee to the Minnesota Broadcasting Hall of Fame, passed away following a battle with lung cancer. He was 72. Minnesota Public Radio has more about Hoehn's career here ...
