| Glenn Robert Morgan (1946-2025) |
The radio industry has lost one of its most respected and beloved figures. Glenn Robert Morgan, 78, of Lakewood Ranch, Florida, passed away peacefully on Monday.
Born in southern New Jersey on December 9, 1946, Glenn graduated with pride from Williamstown High School in 1965. In 1969 he earned a Bachelor of Science in Communication from Ohio University’s renowned E.W. Scripps School of Journalism—a degree that propelled him straight to the top tier of American radio.
Glenn’s career reached its pinnacle in New York City, where he served as Program Director of ABC’s legendary flagship station, 77 WABC.
WABC was the dominant Top 40 powerhouse that defined an era for millions of listeners across the Northeast and beyond.
Beyond his time at the helm of WABC, Glenn held key positions at ABC Radio Network in New York and later at the Mutual Broadcasting System in Washington, D.C. Always an entrepreneur at heart, he eventually returned to New Jersey and founded Master Audio Productions, an acclaimed independent production house that supplied station imaging, commercials, and custom audio to broadcasters and advertisers throughout the region for decades.
A passionate devotee of 1960s and 1970s rock, soul, and pop, he could quote album sides, chart positions, and B-sides with encyclopedic ease. That same era’s classic cars—Mustangs, Chevelles, GTOs, anything with chrome and attitude—were his other great love, and he was as comfortable at a car show discussing horsepower as he was in a control rooms.
Glenn is survived by his family, a vast network of friends from both broadcasting and automotive circles, and an enduring body of work that will continue to echo across the airwaves for generations.
