Sad.
Lopez of the Kirk, Mark and Lopez radio show on Baltimore's 98 Rock (WIYY 97.9) has advanced lung cancer. When I lived in Baltimore, my alarm was set to 98 Rock and I heard them every morning I decided to wake up before 10. Somehow KML managed to have a macho talky morning show that didn't make you feel icky listening to it.
According to the Sun, Lopez will resume doing the show from home, where they've set up a studio. I'll be listening all I can from now on.
Get better, Lopez.

Bummer. Lets all hope he gets well. He's not just a very talented, funny newsman and DJ, but a consistently progressive voice amid the condervative majority of mainstream radio.
