| Judy Perkins |
She was 92-years-of-age, according to Cincinati media writer John Kiesewetter.
Perkins was a cast member of Eddy Arnold's national "Checkerboard Jamboree" morning radio show from Nashville's Andrew Jackson Hotel in 1947, and appeared on legacy radio stations WLS (at age 16) in Chicago, KMOX in St. Louis, WLAC in Nashville and WIBC in Indianapolis.
She performed with Cowboy Copas, Minnie Pearl, Bradley Kinkaid, Little Jimmy Dickens, Fiddlin' Red Herron, Ralph Ballard and other major country stars in the 1940s and '50s. And she accompanied The Hometowners group from "Midwestern Hayride" to New York and introduced them on Arthur Godfrey's "Talent Scouts" TV show in 1957.
In 1945-46, she worked for Cincinnati's WKRC-AM, then went to St. Louis and Nashville. She returned in 1948, as WLWT-TV was starting TV here, because television was at least two years away in Nashville.
