Ted Grossman, who hosted “The Night Train” program on WLRN radio for almost 50 years, died Saturday after a long bout with cancer. He was 83.

"Ted was a font of knowledge of all things jazz and garnered generations of loyal followers," said WLRN VP of Radio Peter Maerz in a statement Sunday. "Ted charmed and informed his listeners, week after week and touched us all with his humor and passion for the music he loved."

Maerz and Grossman worked together for more than 30 years.

Grossman retired from WLRN on Sunday, Dec. 29, 2024, when he aired his last four-hour "Night Train" show live from the station's main studio in downtown Miami.

Born June 17, 1942, in Brooklyn, N.Y., Grossman moved with his family to Miami Beach in 1949 and graduated from North Miami Senior High School in 1960.
