Kim Corcoran (In Memoriam)

July 27, 2024

We are heartbroken to announce that Jazz90.1 DJ Kim Corcoran has died.

She was 69 years old.

Kim had been with Jazz90.1 for over ten years, and served as host of the popular “Two On The Aisle – Broadway At Its Best” program heard every Sunday afternoon.

Born in Kendall, New York, Kim spent over 30 years living in Manhattan, where she developed her deep love of Broadway.

Kim was a tutor for over 34 years, and eventually retired taking up her many passions, including bicycling, exercising, writing and enjoying life any way that she could. She moved back to Kendall into her childhood home, and became active in her community – including part of The Kendall Lawn Chair Ladies. Kim’s bike travels took her all over New York State and The Finger Lakes – and she would spend weeks on the road each summer.

In fact – she was scheduled to venture on another long bike trip this month.

Kim is survived by her two children – Bellisant and Wolfgang, and friends from all corners of our community.

“We are heartbroken with the loss of Kim,” said Station Manager Rob Linton. “She was not just a DJ – but she was a friend to everyone on and off the air. Her smile and amazing personality made any interaction with her such a joy. Her light and passion for Broadway music will always be remembered. Kim brought joy to thousands of people each week. We will miss her deeply.”

Jazz90.1 will continue airing “best of” Two On The Aisle shows through the end of 2024.

Kim’s Biography

Kim Corcoran was the long-time host of 2 on the Aisle: Broadway At Its Best. Born in Kendall, New York, thousands of years ago, Kim spent over 30 years living in Manhattan, osmosing Broadway into her veins (and city snark into her gray matter), so much so that she believed she actually was IN a show once upon a time with Ethel and Carol and Zero! (Take pity on her; there is no medication for this kind of fantasy life.) Kim retired from math tutoring, and filled her days with shopping therapy, writing, exercise classes, and biking (the kind without the motor). She loved looooong bike rides, having circumnavigated most of the Great Lakes, and completing several centuries (that’s 100 miles in one day, and living to boast about it). Kim was also a fan of traveling to exotic lands to eat exotic food and shop for exotic earrings. Her 2 children are hardly children anymore, but Kim loved to pretend. Music wise, Frank Loesser, Stephen Sondheim, Cy Coleman, and Elaine Stritch lit her fire!
