We note with sorrow the passing of legendary WFMT broadcaster Norm Pellegrini at the age 79. He joined the station and became program director in 1953, holding the position until 1996. In a Facebook posting, WFMT Executive VP for Radio, Steve Robinson, wrote:
No one in WFMT’s 58 year history had more influence on WFMT’s sound, style and programming than Norm Pellegrini and he shaped that sound every day for the nearly 45 years he worked as our program director. Over the decades, many have admired and praised WFMT’s programming for its diversity, richness, breadth and integrity. All of those elements, and so much more, are Norm’s legacy and we honor him today and every day by our devotion to maintaining the standards he set so high. He will be missed.
WFMT will pay tribute to his memory throughout the day today. Anyone wishing to share a memory, recollection or comment about Norm can do so via email to: comments@wfmt.com or by phone at (773) 279-2174.
