Ruth Seymour, an influential and brash station manager who transformed KCRW in Santa Monica, California, into a major creative force in Los Angeles and beyond, died Friday, Dec. 22, at the age of 88 after a long illness.
Seymour began her radio career in 1961 at Pacifica’s KPFK in Los Angeles but built her reputation for groundbreaking sensibilities as an innovative programmer and talent scout as GM of KCRW.
