5/16/17 - Today's KDAL-AM morning show is a memorial tribute to longtime host PAT CADIGAN, who died yesterday at 81 following a brief illness.
Cadigan was a fixture on the station for half a century, with some brief periods off the air as he tried a career in real estate instead. Prior to joining KDAL, he was heard on WEBC and WDSM as a rock 'n' roll DJ, "Pat the Cat." He was also a member of Florian Chmielewski's Fun Time polka band in the 1970's and 80's, and in recent years hosted KDAL's weekend polka show.
Tributes were offered on air from Rik Jordan, Dave Strandberg, and other past and present co-workers.
