WKKX’s Jeffers dies

WKKX (1600) nighttime host Tod Jeffers died March 1. He was 67.

A Moundsville native and U.S. Army veteran, Jeffers’ broadcasting career spanned 45 years, including American Forces Radio, the former WMOD (1370) in Moundsville, WWVA and WHLL in Wheeling, and several stations in central Pennsylvania.

He was also heard on Penn State men’s basketball broadcasts.

Jeffers’ passing came less than two weeks after the death of his colleague and fellow WKKX host, George Kellas.

Jeffers is survived by a daughter, Vicki, of Chippewa; a son, Andy, of State College; two brothers; a sister; and several grandchildren.

Interment was private.
