Lori Moore was a longtime morning radio host in Kalamazoo, Michigan, best known to listeners as a familiar voice on WKZO AM and FM, the station that for decades anchored local news, talk and community conversation in southwest Michigan. According to a report published by WKZO itself, Moore was a former WKZO AM/FM morning host, a role that made her part of the daily routine of thousands of listeners across Kalamazoo and the surrounding region for years.
Details of her career, including when she joined WKZO, how long she hosted mornings there, and what she did professionally before or after her time at the station, have not yet been reported in detail. What is confirmed is that she held one of the most visible jobs in local Kalamazoo media: the morning host slot is typically the anchor program of a radio station's schedule, shaping how a community starts its day and how it hears local news, weather, traffic and community announcements.
Moore died on October 4, 2026, at the age of 67. Her death was reported by WKZO, the station most closely associated with her career, under the headline describing her as a former WKZO AM/FM morning host. As of this writing, no cause of death has been made public, and further details about where she died, whether she had been ill, and funeral or memorial arrangements have not yet been released.
Because the news of her death is very recent, most of the facts that readers will eventually want, her full biography, her family, her life outside the station, and the circumstances of her death, are not yet confirmed by reputable sources. This page will be updated as verified information becomes available. For now, what can be said plainly is that Lori Moore spent part of her career as a familiar morning voice on WKZO in Kalamazoo, and that her death at 67 was announced by that station on October 4, 2026.
Tributes and reactions from colleagues, former listeners and the Kalamazoo community are expected in the days following the announcement, though specific statements have not yet been widely reported. Readers searching for confirmation of her death can be assured it has been reported by the station she worked for, though many personal details remain unknown at this time.
