WICHITA, Kan. (KWCH) – Former Wichita radio DJ Greg ‘The Hitman’ Williams died early Saturday morning after a months long battle with cancer.
Williams was a radio DJ for Power 93.5 and KEYN for 25 years before being laid off in March of 2025. He shared that he was among several employees impacted by a “massive” layoff by Audacy.
His family says less than two months later Williams was diagnosed with stage four metastatic cholangiocarcinoma with extensive metastasis, a rare and aggressive type of cancer.
Williams was hospitalized on January 28, but was released to recover at home.
A spokesperson from Audacy shared this statement:
“We are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Greg “The Hitman” Williams. For more than four decades, Greg was a true Wichita legend, who connected with listeners through his energy, authenticity and genuine love of radio. He had a rare ability to make every broadcast feel personal, and his impact extended throughout our community. We send our heartfelt condolences to Greg’s family, friends and former colleagues during this incredibly difficult time.”
