Kurt Loder
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kurt Loder (born May 5, 1945 in New Jersey) is an American journalist, author, and television personality. He has served as editor at Rolling Stone magazine and presently continues to serve as a contributing editor. Prior to Rolling Stone, Loder worked for Circus magazine, and before that, he served three years in the United States Army.
He joined MTV in 1988 as the host of their flagship music news program, The Week in Rock, which was later expanded and renamed to MTV News, where he is currently an anchor and correspondent. He also appears on MTV's sister channel VH1. Loder was one of the first to break the news of Kurt Cobain's suicide; he interrupted regular programming to inform viewers that Cobain was "the apparent victim of a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head." He is also the author of Bat Chain Puller (a collection of his work for Rolling Stone) and co-author of singer Tina Turner's autobiography I, Tina.
Loder is originally from New Jersey, but resides in New York City.
