| John Lee Hooker |
He was best known for co-hosting the "Majic Morning Show" on KMAJ-FM (107.7) with Mike Manns for 33 years, from October 1984 until their final broadcast in June 2018.
The duo’s improvisational comedy and strong connection with the Topeka community made them iconic figures, with their show noted as one of the longest-running morning shows in the U.S. Hooker’s dedication was evident in his early 3 a.m. arrivals to prepare for the 5:30 a.m. broadcast, bringing humor and local stories that resonated with listeners.
Despite opportunities to move to larger markets, Hooker chose to stay in Topeka, valuing its family-friendly environment.
His daughter, Abby, announced that a memorial service was being planned for a few weeks after his passing.
Going to miss him he was a great man on the radio I listen to him all the time rip my prayers are with the family and friends
ReplyDeleteI am a fellow broadcaster and friend to Mike Manns, so I knew about their terrific morning partnership. Wish I'd gotten to know John as well. Sorry for your loss.
