Yes it’s true. Bo Griffin may R.I.P.  I don’t really remember her too much. I was kind of young when she was on the radio.

Bo Griffin, who parlayed a wildly successful run in South Florida radio and TV into a national profile on broadcast and cable TV, died Tuesday in her native Greenville, S.C. The cause of death was reportedly intestinal cancer. She was 51.

Griffin is best known as co-host of the “Mindy and Bo Morning Show,” which became a sensation on Power 96 in the ’90s. Legendary DJ and broadcast executive Bill Tanner, who put Griffin and Mindy Frumkes together, said he believes it was, if not the first, certainly one of the rare, female-led morning drive radio shows in America.

The popularity of the radio show led to local stints on TV. But Bo, once an aspiring actress, was always thinking bigger. She opted to move to Los Angeles, the nation’s second largest market. “When she left town, it was to do bigger and better things,” Mindy said. “Nothing was going to stand in her way.”
