Camp was serving as Program Director of the music stations and Operations Manager and Chief Engineer for the cluster.
The companyt said, “Tim did so much for so many, working tirelessly to bring countless performers and bands to the Gulf Coast, and promoting their music. An original founder of the Hangout Music Festival in Gulf Shores, AL and one of the brains behind Mobile’s inaugural, free Ten Sixty Five Music Festival in 2015, Tim Camp was a consummate sound engineer, avid keyboard player, songwriter, father, brother, husband and friend. Tim spent nearly 56 years in radio broadcasting and his lasting influence wil be sorely missed. A celebration of Tim’s life is forthcoming, date and time to be announced.”
