BREAKING NEWS: Otters Mourning The Death Of Mike Radomski
The Evansville Otters are mourning the sudden loss of former broadcaster Mike Radomski, who died in the early morning hours on Oct. 12 in an automobile accident in Florida. He was 29.
“Mike was a beloved member of the Otters community,†Otters owner Bill Bussing said. “He came here as an employee, but left as a dear friend to many of us.â€
Radomski was an important part of the Otters’ franchise during his time in Evansville as an Account Executive and Director of Media Relations.
“It’s difficult to walk into the press box at Bosse Field and not think about his legacy,” Bussing added.
From 2010-15, he broadcasted games on WUEV 91.5 FM alongside Bill McKeon while also assisting in sales. He hosted Otters Insider, a weekly talk show that featured interviews with manager Andy McCauley and players.
“Mike was a great ambassador for the league for six seasons,†Deputy Commissioner Steve Tahsler said. “We are saddened by the news and we send our thoughts to his family.â€
Radomski is the longest tenured radio broadcaster in franchise history, calling over 550 games for the Otters. He successfully guided the team through a website overhaul at evansvilleotters.comand revived the team’s social media platforms.
In 2014, he became the Director of Media Relations at the University of Evansville where he oversaw media aspects for women’s basketball, baseball, men’s and women’s soccer for the Purple Aces.
After a year at UE, Radomski took a job at the University of South Florida in the same capacity, overseeing media aspects for men’s basketball, cross country and track.
He was born and raised in New Jersey and earned his Bachelor’s Degree in Journalism from Quinnipiac University in 2010.
He leaves behind his wife, Christina, who he married in June 2016.
Never short of enthusiasm, he frequently used #RockThePlanet with social media posts. The Otters family sends our thoughts and prayers to Christina and the entire Radomski family.

Channel 44 News: Holly Dunn Announces Book Tour For Sole Survivor
OCTOBER 11TH, 2017Â 
 MELANIE ZAYAS EVANSVILLE, INDIANA
 An Evansville woman who gained national attention when she became the only known survivor of the man known as the Railroad Killer has published a book talking about her traumatic experience.
Holly Dunn’s book is called ‘Sole Survivor.’ It dives deep into the layers of Dunn’s first hand account of her violent attack from 20 years ago when she was just a junior at the University of Kentucky.
She expresses a lot of her emotional toll throughout the book as well as her methods of healing. She hopes to give readers a clear message about the importance of addressing domestic violence and finding a voice for victims.
Dunn’s book goes on sale in November.
