The broadcast industry has lost a true pioneer with the recent death of Jerry Lopes at age 72. Before his retirement in 2019, Lopes served as President of Program Operations & Affiliations at American Urban Radio Networks (AURN) for twenty-six years, and as member of the NABOB board of directors.

Lopes' broadcast career began with the Armed Forces Radio and Television Service while serving in the United States Air Force, including a period in Vietnam. He was honorably discharged in 1973. Originally from Providence, RI, he worked at several radio stations as an news talent. In 1974 he joined the staff of WILD-AM in Boston, then owned by Sheridan Broadcasting and would later become director of news, and eventually, in 1990 was promoted to VP/Programming and Operations, overseeing Sheridan's Pittsburgh corporate headquarters network operation.
