SPANISH FORT, Ala. — Steve Riggs, chief engineer and vice president of Goforth Media, died today at 8:30 a.m.  Arrangements for a memorial service are pending.

Riggs was responsible " for many of the things the average Power 88 Christian radio listener never thinks about, like maintaining the transmitters and engineering work for Power 88 FM and WBHY-AM 840 and WLPR-960 AM,"  a Goforth Media statement said.

Riggs'  50-plus years of work history includes teaching Radio & Electronics to high school students and working at several local TV stations in Mobile.
