John Koenig *

      WJW was the home station of John Koenig. Throughout the 1930’s, John Koenig was not only the host but was also the singer, the violin and mandolin player and the leader of the orchestra of “The German Hour” on WJW. But this connection to the German community was not limited to this radio show. He performed at many functions including 50 years of weekly performances at the Sons of Herman Club. He was the conductor of the Koenig Orchestra which accompanied various German operettas in the 1930’s. John Koenig died in 1985. His wife, Ann, lives in Akron .
