Kevin Black (broadcaster)

Kevin Black (1943 – 18 February 2013) was a New Zealand radio broadcaster. A former breakfast host on Auckland's Radio Hauraki, he was once the highest-paid private radio DJ in New Zealand.[1][2]

Black left St. Patrick's College, Wellington at the age of 15, and was a seaman with the British Merchant Navy, before moving into radio.

Black died suddenly on 18 February 2013 after suffering a suspected heart attack at his home in Remuera, Auckland, just a few days short of his 70th birthday.[1]

His last on-air role was at the 60s and 70s radio station Solid Gold, where he worked from 1997 until his retirement in 2009.
