Lohle started in radio at WQRC-FM in Hyannis, Mass., where he covered Sen. Ted Kennedy's 1969 car accident that killed an aide on Chappaquiddick Island.

He later was program director at WHVY-FM and WMAS-AM in Springfield, Mass., before joining KQV in his hometown in 1974.

Lohle became interested in broadcasting at North Hills High School in suburban Pittsburgh, where he did the public address announcements.

Lohle is survived by his wife, Barbara, and 10-year-old son, Collin.
