Dead air

DJ dies live on air

Listeners to a familiar Cumberland radio host's morning show were shocked to suddenly hear dead air, an open microphone and a co-worker's plea for someone at the station to call 911.

Chass Offut's on-air death was confirmed Tuesday by WTBO station manager Richard Cornwell.

Offutt had been an on-air personality at Cumberland radio stations since the late 1950s. He was the host of a popular late-night rock & roll program on WCUM in the 1960s. He had also worked as a sales representative for the Cumberland Times-News.
