Funeral Arrangements for Wayne Brown

Wayne Brown, a former Atlanta and Charlotte radio executive, died in Atlanta over the weekend of liver cancer. He was 55.

Brown, a native Washingtonian, worked at Radio One for years as General Manager. "I met him while working for Radio One when he was general manager of their Atlanta cluster. He was truly a great guy and will be missed," a colleague says.

Most recently, Brown worked as general manager of Atlanta hip-hop outlet Streetz 94.5 FM. His first job in broadcasting came in 1978 as an overnight security guard at NYC's WCBS-AM.
