RIP Mike Holyko

Cover Image
By Bill Louis, 98.5 WNCX

I'm saddened to report that MIke Holyko passed away suddenly on Saturday, just hours before his scheduled Saturday 2pm - 7pm air shift.

Mike joined our team just short of two years ago and quickly became a fan favorite. His unique sense of humor mixed with his love for being on the radio, creating a great companion for Clevelanders as Mike helped them navigate through their schedule of busy weekend activities. For many, Mike was the guy to deliver a final dose of Classic Rock for their weekend during his Sunday 6pm - 10pm show. Mike also did traffic reports for the other Cleveland Entercom radio stations, Star 102, Q104, 92.3 The Fan, as well as WNCX.

Our heartfelt condolences are sent to his family, friends, and the thousands of listeners that will surely be missing him. - Bill Louis
