RUMOURS II

Citadel Board Op Dies

Sketchy details. Updated. DCRTV hears that a Citadel board op in his 30s died during the past week. Some sources say that he was found collapsed in a studio at the Citadel DC radio complex on Jenifer Street (right), which houses WMAL, WRQX, and WVRX, and that an ambulance was called and he was pronounced dead at a local hospital. However, other sources say that the man did not collapse at the station, and died elsewhere. He leaves behind a wife and young child. One source tells us that he was a former board op for WMAL, but may have been still doing overnight shifts for WRQX and WVRX. "I guess there was some confusion that it was an actual current employee. That's probably because even when he did work in the building, it was overnights and weekends, and most people didn't know him," we're told. Other sources tell us that he was a former employee at all three stations, but had returned to work there. More as we hear it.....
