IT is with regret that we have to record the sudden death of W. R. ("Bill") King who was for some considerable time Sports Announcer at 2ZB. Wellington sportsmen will know him chiefly for his unflagging energy in assisting on the administrative side of all branches of sport, and also for his "World of Sport" sessions which were so popular each Sunday morning..The photograph above shows him at the microphone in the studio. Mr. King was only 42 when he died and his death was a great shock to sportsmen all over New Zealand. So great was his popularity that practically all sports bodies and associations in Wellington were represented at the funeral.
