KUT plans moment of silence Sunday for Bob Schenkkan
Listeners who tune to KUT Sunday afternoon at 2 will be greeted by silence — silence to honor station founder Robert F. Schenkkan, who passed away Feb. 9.
The moment of silence will coincide with a 2 p.m. memorial service for Schenkkan in the College of Communication auditorium.
Here’s what you’ll hear leading into …
Today is the memorial service for Bob Schenkkan, the founder of KUT — who passed away on February 9 at the age of 93. Bob Schenkkan believed in the power of broadcasting and the human voice, in all its forms. That a few, distinct voices, committed to speaking the truth, in an articulate and civil manner, could make the world a better place. Please join us in a moment of silence, to honor Bob Schenkkan, and to experience, for just moment, what would be, if not for him.
… and out of the moment of silence, courtesy of station spokeswoman Erin Geisler.
Thank you. We pledge to work hard every day at KUT, to ensure that what Bob Schenkkan built and inspired, continues to be an agent for good in our community and state.
KUT broadcasts at 90.5 FM and online at kut.org.
