Bill Bailey

William Clyde Boahn aka "Bill Bailey" "The Duke of Louisville" was born December 18, 1930 in New Bern, North Carolina.

For nearly 30 plus years Bill ruled the morning airwaves at WAKY radio and other Louisville radio stations, including WKLO, before ending his career in broadcasting in 1994 at WVLK in Lexington.

Bill could just as easily been your next-door-neighbor inviting you over to have a chat on the front porch. No gloss, little fanfare, just witty yet wholesome conversation. And people listened.

Bailey passed away on January 14, 2012, at the age of 81.
