Broadcaster Martha Fahnoe Passes
Dimes Media Corporation announces that its chair Martha (Buckley) Fahnoe passed away unexpectedly on July 21. She was the daughter of Richard Dimes Buckley Sr., founder of Buckley Broadcasting. She is predeceased by her brother Rick Buckley. She founded Dimes Media Corporation with her son Eric Dimes Fahnoe upon the closing of Buckley Broadcasting. Dimes Media, which operates radio stations in San Luis Obispo and King City California, says “Martha grew up in broadcasting beginning in the mailroom of WNEW as a teenager and her success in many capacities was ensured by her engaging personality and interest in her co-workers, clients and the community.” In lieu of flowers the family asks that donations in her memory be made to the Broadcasters Foundation of America or The Living Desertin Palm Desert, CA.
