Local News in Brief : Business Reporter Ray Hutchinson Dies
Ray Hutchinson, a business reporter for San Francisco’s KCBS for more than a decade, died Sunday at his Sherman Oaks home. He was 64.
Hutchinson, a one-time disc jockey, was best known for the daily radio reports that he began giving from the floor of the Pacific Stock Exchange in 1968.
Until a stroke partly paralyzed him in 1982, Hutchinson aired a twice-daily business feature called “Money Talks,” in which he analyzed stock trends.
He began his radio career in 1945 and worked for radio stations in Los Angeles, Baltimore, Chicago, Seattle, Washington, D.C., Rochester, N.Y., and Portland, Me.
He is survived by his wife, Dorna, and a daughter.
