DC Broadcasting Great Andy Ockershausen Dies at 92

Longtime Washington media figure Andy Ockershausen died Wednesday. He was 92. Ockershausen began working at WMAL in 1950 and made $21 per week plus streetcar passes, the Washington Post reported in 1986. He rose to station manager and general manager and oversaw the hires of Frank Harden and Jackson Weaver as well as Ken Beatrice, and in 1981 chose Sonny Jurgensen, Sam Huff, and Frank Herzog to call games by Washington’s NFL team. While critics weren’t optimistic about the addition of Jurgensen at first, the trio clicked and became the soundtrack to the football team’s glory days if you grew up in this area, there’s a good chance you listened to them call games with your TV sound off.

Here’s a sampling of farewells worth remembering. Ambika the Elephant born c 1948 She’d lived at the National Zoo since 1961 a pachyderm pal for generations of elephant-loving Washingtonians. Ambika was fascinating to watch, whether swinging her trunk around the yard, giving herself a mud bath, or hanging with Mr. Rogers. She was estimated to be 72 quite old for an Asian elephant in captivity and finally had to be euthanized in March.-
