In addition to top-rated radio shows, he hosted "Patterns in Music" on NBC-TV in the 1960s. In 1964, he created the concept of airlines providing in-flight audio entertainment and his John Doremus Inc. supplied airlines with 14-channels of programming, individually tailored to their specific needs. A longtime resident of the John Hancock Building, he died in July 1995 in Community Convalescent Center in Naperville. Here is an aircheck of one of Doremus' beautiful music hours for AFRTS.
