R.I.P.: Bill Manders, Former Radio Talk Host

Bill Manders
Former Talk Show Host Bill Manders died Monday (May 27).

He was 68.

Born in Detroit and raised in southern California, Bill worked in Bakersfield, in the early 2000s at KMJ in Fresno, and then at KOH 780 AM Reno before returning to Fresno to iHM's PowerTalk 96.7 FM.

The middle of the Obama era gave Bill plenty to talk about. An ardent Second Amendment advocate, Bill vociferously complained he couldn’t bring his beloved guns into California from his last radio gig in Nevada.

  1. How appropriate that Bill passed on Memorial Day. He was a hero in the Reno community, especially in his work on behalf of veterans and for helping to spearhead the creation of the Veterans' Memorial in downtown Reno. Rest well, kind and gentle servant. You will not be forgotten.
