Obit: Augie Hiebert, radio & TV broadcaster, at 90

C

Augie Hiebert, a tireless broadcast pioneer who built Alaska's first television station and mentored future generations of broadcasters, died Thursday. He was 90.

He landed his first radio job in Wenatchee, Wash., after graduating from high school, quickly moving on to a job as an announcer and engineer for a radio station in Bend, Ore. That job led him to Alaska when he followed a colleague who left in 1939 to build KFAR radio in Fairbanks.
