WRJN Radio’s Gary Suhr To Be Honored As A Local Broadcast Legend

Racine, WI – March 24, 2025 – The Wisconsin Broadcaster’s Association (WBA) will be
honoring WRJN broadcaster Gary Suhr with a Local Broadcast Legend award. Gary will
be recognized along with two other Wisconsin professionals at a keynote lunch in La
Crosse June 19.
The award recognizes individuals who work behind the scenes and within their
communities fulfilling the commitment local broadcasters have made to serve their local
communities.
For more than 35 years, Gary was the trusted voice of Racine, bringing high school and
semi-pro sports to life on WRJN radio. Beginning in 1962, he dedicated his career to
covering local athletics, broadcasting more than 1,300 basketball games, 417 high
school football games, and 396 Racine Raiders semi-pro football games. His signature
play-by-play style and deep passion for the teams he covered made him a beloved
figure in the community.
Beyond sports, Suhr was a dedicated journalist, covering government meetings, court
cases, and breaking news. He also had a passion for education, hosting Inside Your
Schools, a program that highlighted educators, students, and key issues in Racine’s
school system.
We’re so proud of Gary, his priceless contributions to WRJN, and this well-deserved
honor.
