Alpha Media is sad to announce the passing of KWMT host Virgil Spindle, or as we know him, Ross Carpenter, late in the evening of October 26th. As many of our listeners will know Ross stepped away from the microphone early this year, to deal with a long time health issue. While he was no longer employed by Alpha Media at that time, he was certainly still part of the Alpha Media family.

Ross was a veteran broadcaster who shared his wit, humor, music knowledge and great personality with the KWMT and KIAQ listeners. Ross was an immensely talented broadcaster, and even better friend. He will be greatly missed by his listeners and Alpha Media family.
