WRJN Radio Legend To Be Honored By Wisconsin Broadcasters Association

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!
