Steve Friedman, 62, radio talk-show host

I used to listen to Steve Friedman's late night movie radio show in Montreal in the 80's. I have a recording of him interviewing Al Lewis (Grandpa from the Munsters).

Steve Friedman, 62, of Malvern, a talk-radio host and film expert, died of kidney disease at home Sunday just hours after completing his Mr. Movie program on WPHT-AM (1210).

On Saturday nights for the last 10 years, Mr. Friedman joined Steve Ross and Jimmy Murray on their Remember When radio show from 10 to midnight, and then continued with his own show until 1 a.m. Previously, he had stayed on the air all night.

Well yes I did happen by here by accident. Just had to post on Mr. Movie. Listened to a tribute show on him last night on 1210AM. His wife and daughter hosted his time slot and took calls from all his faithful callers. Tremendous loss to the airwaves and to movies. Like your blog, I'll pop it into my favorites. ~ D. Wilson
