Dear Web Site visitors and fans,
It's with great sadness I report the passing of Michael Kelly, who died of cancer on Saturday, August 13, 2005. He was about 51 years old. Michael had been part of the Mediabase team since 1993 and he was one of the first Mediabase people I met. He'd been the Main AC format coordinator since 1997. Today, whenever you hear Casey counting down the top AC songs of the week, you can credit Michael's leadership in directing the Main AC researchers as part of that Radio And Records AC chart's accuracy.
Michael Kelly was simply a wonderful person to know and to work with. He taught me SO many songs but his thoughtfulness was unparalleled. When he checked out the Phillies' Triple-A farm team at Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, he bought one of the team's t-shirts. When he saw I was in need of a little fresh air in my cubicle, he gave me a fan to use. Michael will be grealy missed by the entire Mediabase team.
Regards,
Rob Durkee
