Classic City Radio Statement on Walter Cronkite

The formation and creation of Classic City Radio is a continuing process, but I must pause to recognize the death of the person CCR's news division will aim to emulate.

The passing of Walter Cronkite marks the death of the best true reporter broadcast journalism has seen. His ability to get right to the heart of what Americans were interested in is unparalleled. When we think of any major event that happened between 1962 and 1981, Walter Cronkite's name is inevitably linked to that event.

The Classic City Radio family mourns the loss of this great man and we extend our condolences to his colleagues and family.
