Radio legend Murray 'Muzza' Inglis dies after cancer battle

By Todd Niall ofPhoto: StuffOne of the country's best-known radio personalities, Murray "Muzza" Inglis, has died aged 80, after a battle with cancer. His heyday in New Zealand was in the era of the big independently owned commercial radio stations, such as Radio Avon in Christchurch, Radio Hauraki and Radio I, the FM pioneers 89FM and 91FM in Auckland and Radio Windy in Wellington. As long as the list of radio stations he worked on was the list of music industry stars he met and spent time with during his radio career. In 2016 Inglis was recognised at the New Zealand Radio Awards for Services to Broadcasting. Inglis lived out his teenage dream of being a radio announcer well beyond his career in mainstream commercial radio.
