Just learned through a Facebook post that a Northern Michigan Radio Legend, Bill Vogel, The Captain at 106 KHQ, has passed. Rest In peace Captain...

Re: Bill Vogel
Just saw this. Legend of Northern Michigan Radio. 20 Years at KHQ and defined an era of radio in the North. Get the heck out of bed! The weather with Storm Kennedy... Toured the downtown Charlevoix studios when I was in 5th grade. Still remember it. His KIA and Casino Commercials will live on!

Re: Bill Vogel
R.I.P. indeed.
Heard a car dealership commercial he voiced on WRIF earlier today, in fact.
Few voices, if any, in the history of northern MI radio are more recognizable than his.

So sad. Did so many car dealer ads. His Voices.com profile mentioned he was in remission a few years ago for lymphoma.

KHQ has a nice tribute on their Facebook page.

Re: Bill Vogel
Had the pleasure of working with him on several occasions. Indeed, a true pro.
RIP

Re: Bill Vogel
Is there an Obituary link yet? I couldn't find anything that matched.
Since he went by the name Chuck Vogel early in his career, I looked it up under both Charles and William. I assume that Vogel (German for Bird) is his given surname.
Sad to hear this.

Nothing on 9&10, UpNorthLive or the Record-Eagle yet. Then again, the media jumped the shark on Michael O'Shea's passing, too.

Used to call in to answer the morning quiz on the way to school. Those were fun times. Back when KHQ was a good station to listen to.

Re: Bill Vogel
Mr. Vogel is a great example of just how darn good the air talent in Northern MI radio has been through the years!
I'd say he stood out as the very best among that talented pool of individuals.
No question he could've worked in a top 25 market for many years had he sought to do so.

Re: Bill Vogel
He was also the announcer for MadTV in their later years.

Re: Bill Vogel
Is the obituary correct, or have I been assuming incorrect info on Bill for many years?
I thought Haley Vogel of TV weather fame was his daughter.
I also thought an ad director at WFMK where I worked for a short time in the late '80s was his ex-wife. I can't remember her first name, but I am sure she still used Vogel as her last name.
