Daren Lane Flickinger, 1924-2008

I was working on some future "Empoprise-IE Rooster" posts (I happen to be working through radio stations right now) when I found this story from last Saturday:

Daren Lane Flickinger, the manager of KCAA-AM 1050 radio in San Bernardino and the husband of Moreno Valley City Councilwoman Bonnie Flickinger, died Wednesday of complications from diabetes.

He was 83.

More here. Flickinger had been with KCAA since it began broadcasting talk in August 2003:

A former Big Bear radio station that has moved "down the hill" is broadcasting a talk format that reaches much of the Inland Empire and parts of Orange and Los Angeles counties.

KCAA-AM 1050 moved to its studios at 28899 San Timoteo Canyon Road in Redlands earlier this year and went on the air June 24, General Manager Daren Lane Flickinger said.

But Flickinger also provided wedding chapel services, sold waterbeds, and did who knows what.
