Was Roger McCall Deliberately Murdered?

media: Was Roger "Unkle Rog" McCall Deliberately Murdered? WCMF radio DJ in Rochester for 30 years. His death is UNSOLVED!

If you lived in the Rochester area back in the day, you might recognize the smooth voice of “Unkle Rog.” As a late-night radio host and DJ at WCMF for almost 30 years, perhaps he kept you company past midnight, maybe helped you stay awake during a third shift. By 52, Roger had already survived a terminal cancer diagnosis, only to be gunned down on December 12th, 2003, in what, at first, seemed to be a random act of violence. But a potential witness in the case has raised the possibility that his murder may’ve been more personal than previously assumed.

Uncle Roger McCall (1951-2003) was a late-night DJ at WCMF radio station who for 30 years was affectionately known to his audience as “Uncle Roger.” He had the overnight shift — “Uncle Rog’s Late Night Rock ‘n’ Roll Café” — and he took his listeners on a musical adventure that lasted until the sun came up the next day. On Sunday nights he hosted a program called “Homegrown,” which was the only showcase in the 1980s and ’90s for local artists, playing tapes or indie singles and hosting live interviews in the WCMF studio. This led to a series of “Homegrown” compilation albums where many of the local bands had their first (and sometimes only) recordings released. It has been said that there wasn’t a band of that era in Rochester whose path wasn’t somehow easier because of Roger McCall and his support for local music.
