R.I.P.: Twin Cities Radio Personality Michael “Donuts” Douglas

Michael Wegner, best known by his radio moniker Michael "Donuts" Douglas, died last week after a severe injury to his head.

He was 65, according to the Star-Tribune.

From 1979 to 1994,  "Knapp & Donuts" was among the hottest morning shows in the Twin Cities, eventually helping to establish KSTP KS95 as the country's most popular FM radio station.

Program director Chuck Knapp may have technically been the boss, but it was his on-air partner's homespun, and often cranky, personality, that defined the program.

"When he disagreed with a news story, he would take the paper he was reading from, crumple it up so listeners could  hear and throw it away," Knapp said. "That was his idea of editorial commentary."

Wegner seemingly lived a simple life on an Osceola horse farm, but he was always up for an adventure, whether it was learning how to fly stunt planes or climbing on a bull in a rodeo

According to Knapp, his friend was on his computer when his wife went to bed. A few hours later, she heard an ominous sound.

When she went to Wegner's music room, she discovered that her husband had fallen down and hit his head on one of the speakers. He was pronounced dead at Osceola Medical Center. The reason for the fall is undetermined.
