Former 620 WTMJ morning show host Robb Edwards died Thursday at the age of 79.
He hosted mornings at WTMJ from 1985 until 2000.
Edwards was a Milwaukee media staple, working at several stations in the market before helming mornings on the venerable news/talk station. He held positions at WOKY-AM and WRIT-AM in addition to his work at WTMJ during his long career in the market.
In 1999, Edwards became the Public Address announcer for the Milwaukee Brewers before retiring in 2019. The scoreboard control room at American Family Field in Milwaukee is named in his honor for his long service to the Major League Baseball franchise.
Many former colleagues and Milwaukee media members took to social media to remember the longtime host. Several mentioned his extreme kindness as a quality they’ll miss about Robb Edwards.
