Under the name of Jack Strader, John Jacob Strader IV began his career as a student actor at WLW Radio about 1940 and became a well-known radio announcer.
He went on to work at WKRC, WCPO and WCKY before founding Cincinnati's first privately owned FM station, WVAW.
Mr. Strader, a member of a prominent Cincinnati family, died Friday in his Clifton home on property that has been in the Strader family since 1830. He was 74.
