Howard Viken, whose deep voice and warm, casual wit were familiar to generations of Minnesotans who grew up listening to WCCO AM Radio, died early Saturday at the age of 97, the station reported. He was very intelligent, but never condescending, said longtime WCCO personality Denny Long. He was just a gem.
Viken worked at WCCO Radio from 1950 to 1989, during its heyday as a powerhouse statewide station. Especially during wild winter weather, he was a must-listen for many Minnesota households.
