Dick Kernen, guru to Detroit radio and TV stars, dies at 82

Dick Kernen, a giant of Michigan broadcasting who boosted the careers of countless familiar on-air voices and faces, died of natural causes Friday at home in Dearborn, his family confirmed. He was 82. Kernen, who started with WXYZ-AM in the 50s and helped form WRIF-FM in the 70s, was vice president of industry relations at the Specs Howard School of Media Arts in Southfield, where he had worked since 1972. A 2003 Michigan Broadcasting Hall of Fame inductee, Kernen was a guiding hand both inside and outside Specs Howard to some of the best-known names on the local airwaves in recent decades, having worked closely with the likes of Arthur Penhallow, Glenda Lewis, Carmen Harlan, Charlie Langton, Amy Andrews, Joe Wade Formicola and more.
