Radio personality and broadcaster Dana Potter has lost his battle with cancer.
Radio personality and broadcaster Dana Potter has lost his battle with cancer, according to Magic 101.7 FM’s website.
In a Facebook post, the station said it’s radio family is mourning the loss of Potter, and he was one of the best to ever join its family.
In a statement from the station, “Dana Potter fought hard in his battle with cancer but as it often does, it took our friend tonight and the world is a more empty place for it. Dana loved radio almost as much as he loved his children and grandchildren, and continued to be part of it as long as he could.”
RIP, Dana Porter.
Cancer seems to take a disproportionate number of broadcast hosts: Rush, Matt Patrick, Jay Severin, Tony Snow...
Observational bias!
In actual fact, cancer takes a disproportionate number of 1) airplane pilots (due to UV exposure); 2) lifeguards (UV); 3) desk jobs (sitting); 4) nail salon workers (fumes); farmers / agricultural workers (exposure to pesticides); 5) firefighters (smoke inhalation).
Though I do suppose that radio hosts do sit a lot.
Regards,
RIP.
