Breaking news radio personality
R.I.P. (didnt really like the show)
Bill Austin, a former longtime radio host of the popular "Beth & Bill" morning show at KESZ-FM (99.9), died Wednesday after a battle with bladder cancer. He was in his mid-50s.
Austin retired from the station in February after nearly 20 years on the air. His jovial personality first came to the Valley's attention handling the weather for Channel 12 (KPNX), a job he had for nine years before leaving in 1994. For four years, he juggled both the weather and radio jobs.
Austin performed more than 4,000 shows with Beth McDonald.
