[edit] Biography
Scott attended five colleges and served in the Marine Corps during the Korean War before starting his career in broadcasting.
He became a controversial radio host on AM-1270 WXYZ (later WXYT after the station changed hands), starting in 1980 through the late 1990s. Politically, he referred to himself as a "Jeffersonian Conservative", but he was strongly libertarian, and popularized many libertarian philosophical positions in the metropolitan Detroit area. His trademark sign-off was a single word: "Excelsior!"
After WXYT changed format to an all sports talk station, Mark pioneered the use of the internet as a broadcast media by continuing his show on-line.
Mr Scott died of an apparent heart attack at Providence Hospital in Southfield, Michigan.
