C.J. Morgan, a popular and top-rated morning radio host in New Orleans for nearly two decades, has died.
He was 63, according to WWL-TV4.
Friends and fellow broadcasters, as well as Morgan’s former employer, WQUE 93.3 FM, posted the news of his death Wednesday. He had suffered from health problems in recent years, friends said.
Morgan, whose real last name was Monix, spent nearly 15 years as a morning radio co-host on Q-93.
He was known for his smooth on-air style and positive personality, as well as his ebullient catchphrase, “Good Morgan! Good Morgan! Good Morgan!”
A native of Clarksdale, Miss., who attended Memphis State University as a music major, Morgan came to New Orleans in the late 1980s after a successful run on Memphis radio. He also worked in radio in Tampa.
In 2007, he was fired from his job at Q-93 when its corporate owner decided to replace local programming with a syndicated show.
Morgan later joined the talk radio staff at WBOK-AM. He more recently worked at WLOK in Memphis, where his career began.
