KZFR Community Radio Station

Travus T. Hipp passed away on May 17th

Travus, a 40-year veteran radio commentator, was a Northern California radio icon. He was a radio newsman at legendary stations like: KMPX, KSAN, KFAT, KPIG, KMUD, KVMR and KZFR. Travus was most recently living in Nevada and doing newscasts by telephone for various radio stations. Gruff but loveable he was our newsman and commentator, our guy who kept the big guys honest, our guy who liked to stir things up and really one of the last of his kind. “The Poor Hippy’s Paul Harvey,” Travus is a member of the Nevada Broadcasters Hall of Fame.  Real radio newscasters are now extinct. Travus will be missed.
