'''Mike Webb''' (September 4, 1955–April 14, 2007) was an American [[radio personality]]. Originally a [[Radio broadcasting|radio]] [[Journalist|news reporter]], he later became a [[Modern liberalism in the United States|liberal]] [[talk show]] host and [[Activism|activist]]. Webb was [[murder]]ed in 2007.
==Early life and career in San Francisco==
Webb was born and raised in [[San Francisco, California]]. He had an early interest in radio. As a teenager, he was a street reporter broadcasting observations of [[civil rights]], [[Opposition to the Vietnam War|anti-Vietnam war protests]], and youth issues for San Francisco radio stations [[KFRC-FM|KMPX]], [[KQED-FM|KQED]] and [[KCBS (AM)|KCBS]]. KMPX was the nation's first [[progressive rock]] station, started by [[Top 40]] disc jockey [[Tom Donahue (DJ)|Tom Donahue]], and practiced [[advocacy journalism]].
One of Webb's most notable on-air experiences was reporting the murders of San Francisco [[County Board of Supervisors|City Supervisor]] [[Harvey Milk]] and Mayor [[George Moscone]] by ex-City Supervisor [[Dan White]]. Working at [[KGO (AM)|KGO]], just blocks away from the [[San Francisco City Hall|City Hall]] tragedy, Webb climbed to the station's rooftop, giving live reports of a city in great shock and grief. Later, when a jury found White guilty of [[voluntary manslaughter]] rather than [[first-degree murder]], outraged citizens took over City Hall, bashed in the doors, overturned [[police car]]s and started fires in what came to be known as the [[White Night Riots]]. Reporters from every major [[television network]] joined Webb on the same rooftop reporting all the activity.
During 1973, Mike worked with Steve Newman of KCBS-FM to open San Francisco's [[The EndUp]]. The Endup was a popular gay dance club (still open in 2013). Mike's contributions enabled the Endup to become "the spot to be at" in the mid '70s. Mike's radio eventually over-took his club work.
Webb went on to other Bay Area radio stations, working as an on-air personality for [[KIOI]], [[KFRC (defunct)|KFRC]] and [[KOSF|KSFX]].
==Career in Seattle==
In the 1980s, Webb moved to Seattle and hosted shows at [[KPLZ-FM|KPLZ]], [[KPNW-FM|KEZX]], and [[KZOK-FM|KZOK]]. He served intermittent terms as program director of [[KVI]] between 1984 & 1991, and [[KIXI]] until 1994.
Webb was best known for his work at [[KIRO (AM)|KIRO]], where he started in 1996. Webb was also an activist, lobbying for [[hate crimes]] legislation and [[United States Senate|Senator]] [[Ted Kennedy|Ted Kennedy's]] [[Employment Non-Discrimination Act]] (ENDA). In the late 1990s, Webb worked for [[John McMullen (broadcaster)|John McMullen]] on his [[Internet radio]] project, [[GayBC Radio Network]]. On GayBC, Webb hosted a talk show, but also handled live broadcasts of breaking news events such as [[gay pride]] events and the [[WTO Ministerial Conference of 1999 protest activity|protest activity]] surrounding the [[World Trade Organization|World Trade Organization's]] [[WTO Ministerial Conference of 1999|1999 Ministerial Conference in Seattle]].
Outside of his radio show, Webb produced audio and did [[voiceover]] work on [[Documentary film|documentaries]], industrial videos, [[Internet]] and commercial work at his studio.
Webb remembered his interviews with attorney [[Gerry Spence]], documentary filmmaker [[Michael Moore]], [[Norman Solomon]], [[United Nations Special Commission|United Nations Weapons Inspector]] [[Scott Ritter]], and ''[[Serving in Silence: The Margarethe Cammermeyer Story|Serving in Silence]]'' author [[Grethe Cammermeyer]] as among his favorites.
Webb was fired from KIRO in December 2005 after he was charged with making a [[Insurance fraud|fraudulent insurance]] claim after an automobile accident the previous June, when his [[Lexus]] was struck by an [[Vehicle insurance|uninsured driver]]. He was found guilty in February 2007, [[fine (penalty)|fine]]d, and sentenced to perform [[Community service#Alternative sentencing|community service]].
==Murder==
Without explanation, Webb ceased producing his [[webcast]] talk show, with the last show being recorded on April 13, 2007. Subsequently, he was reported missing by his sister, who stated she had not talked to him since April 13. Webb's sister told Seattle's [[KOMO-TV|KOMO]] 4 News that she thought he might be in danger.
On June 28, 2007, the [[Seattle Police Department]] reported that a decomposed body had been found at Webb's [[Queen Anne, Seattle, Washington|Queen Anne]] home. Discovered by the property manager, the body was located in a crawl space underneath a blue plastic tarp and several storage boxes.
Following identification on June 29, the body was confirmed to be that of Mike Webb. The King County Medical Examiner's Office further determined Webb's death to be a [[homicide]] due to [[stabbing]] ("multiple sharp force trauma"). On July 19, 2007, it was announced that Scott White was arrested for the murder. According to Seattle police, White allegedly killed Webb with an [[axe]] as he slept. White was sentenced to 20 years in prison for the murder.<ref>McNerthy, Casey. "[http://www.seattlepi.com/local/408022_Webb10.html Radio host Mike Webb's killer sentenced to 20 years in prison]".
