Philadelphia Radio Personality Brian Carter Dies
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) - Former radio personality Brian Carter died Sunday morning of a massive heart attack, according to Clear Channel Philadelphia. He was 56.
Carter co-hosted "Carter and Sanborn in the Morning" which aired on Power 99 from 1987 to 1999 and on WDAS FM in 2006.
"Carter and Sanborn are the reason Power 99 is the station it is today," said Ken Johnson Director of Urban Programming. They inspired me to recapture the presence in the community Power had when they were on the air. Brian was also an inspiration to me personally. He will be missed," said Johnson.
The director of news and community affairs and the new anchor for "Carter and Sanborn in the Morning," Loraine Ballard Morrill said Carter was an icon in radio with a love for the business.
"This is not only a loss for his family and friends – it's a loss for broadcasting," said Morrill.
Fans can post their condolences on Power 99 and WDAS fm's Facebook pages. There will be a tribute to Brian Carter Monday on Power 99's morning show with Uncle O, Mikey Dredd and Mina and on WDAS FM with Patty Jackson.
Brian Carter most recently worked at WBLS FM in New York and XM radio.
