David Haines
David Haines passed away on Sunday apparently. I grew up listening to him on WPGC. It wasn't officially friday until I heard his signature "Its Friday!!!". The past few years I had stopped listening to PGC, but when I cycled through radio stations and heard his news reports I would always stop and listen. "Burnt toast and coffee time"
He will be missed.

DCRTV hears that David Haines (right), who was the newsman on Donnie Simpson's morning WPGC-FM show, passed away on Sunday. He was in his late 50s. Our source says he suffered a pulmonary embolism. Haines, who had been dealing with back problems of late, had been with WPGC for 12 years. Before that, he worked at WAVA, providing news and comment for "Don And Mike," when the duo worked at the then contemporary hit station. The word is that Simpson is planning a tribute.
