Sad to report the death of veteran Seattle radio personality Charlie Brown, who passed away after battling lung cancer and Parkinson's disease on Monday, May 11. He was 74. Brown's career in radio broadcasting spanned 30 years, beginning at Eastern Washington University's station in mornings. His first professional stint was at KPUG-AM in Bellingham, WA, which led to six years at KJRB-AM/Spokane in mornings.

In 1974, Brown joined KJR-FM/Seattle for mornings, before moving to KUBE-FM as Program Director and an air talent in 1981. He and co-host/news talent Ty Flint teamed for mornings until Brown retired in 1997. In 1993, Brown founded the software firm Audion Labs, which developed digital audio editing products, including VoxPro.

He was at KJR-FM, KUBE, KJRB and KPUG-AM during his radio career

Definitely one of Seattle's best ever. RIP. (random, but Charlie's afternoon counterpart at KJR, Gary Lockwood died just 2 weeks ago.)

Slight correction to the radio-on line story: Charlie started on KJR-AM, not KJR-FM.

It's hard to imagine that Charlie and Ty were the morning show on KUBE given its music format...
