caption_attribution_description: English: Washington DC radio personality Ed Walker, photographed in the office he shared with Willard Scott at WRC-TV in 2003.
context_page_description: Ed Walker was an American radio personality from Washington, D.C.. He hosted a weekly four-hour Sunday night program, The Big Broadcast, on WAMU-FM, featuring vintage radio programs from the 1930s to 1950s, such as Gunsmoke, The Jack Benny Show, The Lone Ranger, Fibber McGee and Molly, and Superman.
  Walker began hosting The Big Broadcast in 1990 when his friend John Hickman retired hosting due to illness. The show, which started in 1964 as Recollections, has been the longest running program on WAMU. The show ranks first in its timeslot, and its audience is "remarkably young for a public radio crowd." Walker was blind.
  Walker died in Rockville, Maryland from cancer, aged 83.
