All Access is reporting that former WWLS, KYIS and WKY PD Ray Kalusa,49, died over the weekend. He was driving from L.A. to Las Vegas to visit his family. :'(
 
Bummer for sure.
That is true.
Radio lost a genious and I a good friend.
 
Oh what awful news! Ray was a great guy whom I worked with in Salt Lake (KCPX). I think he got his start in South Bend, Indiana, if I am not mistaken. What a tragic loss - I am in shock over it.

My heart goes out to his family and friends.
 
I met Ray at the 2005 Rick Scott Sports Conference in Phoenix when I was GM at ESPN 950 (WXLW) in Indianapolis. He was programming ESPN 710 in LA. He was a Notre Dame grad and started his radio career at U93 (WNDU) in South Bend. As a fellow ND grad, we spent a lot of time discussing the current state of ND football (the program was a lot better that year). He was a class act and a credit to our business.

Ray was a great guy. I was shocked and saddened to hear it.
