Ric Supple, local businessman and philanthropist, dies at 95
His daughter, Judith Supple Freiha, said his death was attributed to natural causes.
In the late 60s, the Supples built a radio empire in the Coachella Valley called R&R Broadcasting. It pioneered new formats, particularly talk radio. In 2015, after almost 50 years in business, Ric and wife, Rozene, decided to wind down their radio business.
Palm Springs Historical Society President Tracy Conrad, a neighbor, described Ric as clever and funny. He was so quick-witted and always the most sparkling of conversationalists, Conrad said.
Mike Meenan, who was employed at KPSI by the Supples, from 1982-2000, before he relocated to San Francisco, said working for them was like being a member of a family. He suffered a detached retina in 1984 and was out for two months while doctors saved his vision. He said the Supples continued to pay him his salary.

HOUSTON Two men who claimed they were covering the Capitol riot as journalists were indicted by a federal grand jury this week in connection with the attack.
A grand jury in Washington, D.C., charged Nicholas DeCarlo and Nicholas Ochs with crimes related to the insurrection, including stealing and destroying government property, physical violence in a restricted building and “conspiring to obstruct” a congressional vote to certify the 2020 election.

Two men who claimed they were covering the Capitol riot as journalists were indicted by a federal grand jury this week in connection with the attack.
A grand jury in Washington, D.C., charged Nicholas DeCarlo and Nicholas Ochs with crimes related to the insurrection, including stealing and destroying government property, physical violence in a restricted building and “conspiring to obstruct” a congressional vote to certify the 2020 election. The charges were contained in an indictment released by federal prosecutors this week.
The indictment noted that both men posted footage of themselves in the Capitol online after the Jan. 6 attack. In an interview last month with The Times, DeCarlo claimed he and Ochs were journalists, not rioters. They were affiliated with Murder the Media, a Monte Rio, Calif.-based company that livestreamed video.
