Condolences: Tim Camp
• We were saddened to hear of the passing of Charles “Tim” Camp, an undisputed pillar of the greater Mobile, AL community, and the wearer of many broadcasting hats — Manager of Operations, PD, sound engineer, IT guy, computer coder, resident Rivendell expert, and part owner of four independently owned and operated radio stations — Sound Of Mobile Triple A WZEW (92 Zew), Classic Rock 96.5 The Crab (WZEW HD-2), Urban AC 92.5 The Soul of Mobile (WZEW HD-3) and the founder of the first 24-hour FM Sports radio station in the country — 105.5 WNSP — who died Saturday, Sept. 13, two days after his 73rd birthday.
A memorial post on WZEW’s Facebook page reads, in part, “Tim did so much for so many, working tirelessly to bring countless performers and bands to the Gulf Coast, and promoting their music. An original founder of the Hangout Music Festival in Gulf Shores, AL and one of the brains behind Mobile’s inaugural, free Ten Sixty Five Music Festival in 2015, Tim Camp was a consummate sound engineer, avid keyboard player, songwriter, father, brother, husband and friend.”
Tim Camp spent nearly 56 years in radio broadcasting and his lasting influence will be sorely missed. A celebration of Tim’s life is forthcoming, date and time TBA.”
Camp is survived by his wife, Esther (Sloane P.) Chung-Camp and his grown children: Angela, Melissa and Jennifer, and his youngest, Julian and Cecilia.
