No details yet, but Radio Ink is reporting that Dex Allen passed away over the weekend.
KOL was my favourite station during Dex's years there, and Dex was favourite KOL DJ.
From what Dave has told me, the late Dave McCormick hired Dex and "Rhett Hamilton Walker the First" out of California right after Dave was named Program Director of KOL. It was part of his plan to take the station into the same Drake format that he had left at KYNO in Fresno, where he had worked with Bill Drake himself.
