Dex Allen Rare Personality Who Went from DJ to Ownership Dies May 6 2018 Dex Allen dj radio executive programming and sales owner and most recently president/ceo of Pacific Start Communications has died He was 74 Dex was best known for spearheading the “underground” movement at KPRI-San Diego In the late 1960s he drove to Southern California every weekend to work as a jock at KDAY 1969-70 Eventually he became general manager of several stations in San Diego Dex made one of those rare journeys from dj to station owner Born Claude Turner in Ventura Dex graduated from John Burroughs High School in Burbank and the University of Denver His career can almost be broken down into decades During the ’60s Dex was a dj at KBLA KTLN-Denver KQV-Pittsburgh KOL-Seattle and KCBQ-San Diego In the ’70s he moved into radio sales and gm positions in San Diego By the 1980s he was ready for station ownership He created Commonwealth Broadcasting and KGGI/KMEN was his first purchase He went on to own KROY-Sacramento KMZQ-Las Vegas and KYJT/KTTI/KBLU-Yuma It was a cornucopia of who’s who in voiceover and broadcasting A most fitting event for the master of the spoken word Dick Orkin Held at the SAG-AFTRA screening room on Sunday afternoon – Jhani Kaye Sunday Nostalgia – 12 Years Ago Today An Open Memo to Phil Hendrie May 6 2006 Memo to: Phil Hendrie From: Don Barrett It is indeed a sad day to know that you are leaving radio for the lure of television You aren’t the first to make the move Many other LARP made it successfully on a national basis You have a tail wind of talent in front of you Bob Eubanks the KRLA Top 40 jock who brought the Beatles to Southern California was the long-time host of the enormously popular Newlywed Game Wink Martindale dovetailed high profile radio jobs at KHJ KFWB KRLA and KMPC into a series of game show hosting that numbers well over 20 As far as drama one only has to follow David Hall’s journey from KNX/fm to pd at KKHR to coroner on the enormously successful original CSI In a sitcom success KNX morning man Bob Crane starred in Hogan’s Heroes We have followed your journey with the mercurial attempts with network pilots and then reveled in your success when NBC green lighted the sitcom that debuted earlier this year Teachers Network and production execs have convinced you that your future rests in television We’ve heard you on animated projects like King of the Hill and Futurama But we will miss you It’s not just you that we’ll miss but all of your alter egos Will Bobbie Dooley ever leave her gated community And what about your on-going feud with Combover Boy aka Tom Leykis Hopefully you will find a public home for Doug Dannger Vernon Dozier Ted Bell RC Collins and Margaret Gray When you weren’t talking with one of your character friends you were very self-revealing about the elections the war and your marriage difficulties We shared your wedding to radio royalty Maria Sanchez and you became an instant father to four Your 1997 marriage on the Queen Mary was officiated by Bill Handel and broadcast live on KFI During the last year you have shared the difficulties in your marriage and eventual separation We met on the phone in 1993 when you were working in Florida I was working on the first edition of Los Angeles Radio People You described your show but I never understood it until you returned to the Southland You left that first conversation with the declaration: “I’m doing one of the most creative talk shows in America featuring character voices and interactive improv comedy If you hear anyone else doing it they stole it from me” In 1996 you returned to KFI and gads it was like a firestorm of publicity buzz and fascination If indeed there was anything like water cooler talk you would have dominated the conversation It was not only the fascination of how you could talk to yourself but it was the choice of topics that seemed like they were pulled right out of the headlines of the day’s news Daily you were on your game for many years Celebrities lined up to get a prized invitation to watch you work You shared your “secrets” at the Museum of TV amp Radio in front of a SRO audience At industry conventions you were the star Your peer group gathered around you like you were a rock star You and I don’t communicate In the beginning you praised my work but something happened You requested or maybe it was demanded that I never mention your name again at LARadiocom Request denied You would have missed out on all the 1st place finishes in the yearly peer voting for the Best LARP of the Year You would have missed out on all the stories and email that praised your work When KFI decided to set you loose and you moved over to KLAC and your syndicated show bounced between LA Lakers games it seemed like all the energy had been sucked out of you The show never seemed the same Instead of consistency the show would spurt Too many repeats and Best Of shows were aired But even when you phoned it in it was unique programming But it was time to move on You’ve done it all You have nothing more to prove Your place in LARadio history is secure – make that the entire radio industry You have forever made an indelible mark as one of the truly innovative creative and brilliant radio minds When you were on your game you were the best There will simply be no one like you – ever again With sadness the LA radio community sheds a tear for its loss but we will get to watch you on a much bigger canvas Once all your energy is directed toward the eye in the tube watch out There’s nothing to suggest that you won’t be an enormous success in the second half of your life And I’ll never look at the aluminum foil on my baked potato again without thinking of Ted Bell’s Steak House in Beverly Hills Email Saturday 70s Never Sounded Old “Talk about thought-provoking The ‘Oldie not an Oldie’ question really made me think To me an Oldie is from the 50’s and 60’s Of course growing up in the 60’s I listened to everything from Big Band to Marty Robbins and the Monkees And it helped to have KMPC on the dial along with Boss Radio KFWB and KRLA So the 70’s never sounded old to me Now when you listen to K-EARTH I don’t think they play anything other than a Beatle song or Led Zeppelin from the 60’s or 70’s I think maybe we had it better as far as diversity From recitation songs to ‘flying records’ to Broadway/Movie soundtracks as long as it was good or even interesting Top 40 played it Even now JACK/fm will slip in the album version of One Night In Bangkok next to Foster the People or Def Leppard – that’s a mix! Hopefully the Clear Channels and iHeart Radios will allow space in their stations for crossover talent/music that has that relevance or hook And stop eating their own just to eliminate competition” – Julie Byers When Is an Oldie Not an Oldie “Answer: When radio started to believe that its mission was to program stringently bordered ‘categories’ to one-dimensional listeners instead of ‘music memories emotions’ ‘information/history” and “entertainment” to complex human beings The lack of such artists as Chuck Berry Little Richard Buddy Holly Elvis Presley countless Motown acts and so many more from today’s terrestrial radio consciousness is an embarrassment Don’t get me wrong I am a devote futurist But if you don’t know where you are coming from it sure limits your understanding of the road ahead” – Michael Harrison TALKERS Real Oldies “I really enjoyed reading Monday’s column on the Oldies When I was in my teens Oldies meant songs from the 1930’s and 40’s The Big Band era and songs popular during World War II were not mentioned in your missive I was not around during that time but I do remember songs such as In the Mood or Tuxedo Junction by Glenn Miller Other big bands included Count Basie and Artie Shaw Since I grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area I still remember KSFO and KNBR playing the Oldies I mentioned above Do very many people remember Frank Dill or Don Sherwood I believe that your discussion on what makes an Oldie an Oldie is valid If my parents were still around they may have a different point of view about what constitutes an Oldie Keep up the good work If you ever get to the end of your rope tie a knot and hang on!” – Sterrett Harper Burbank Joe Benson’s New Assignment “Yes we are all fans of Uncle Joe” – Karen Martin Florence amp Normandy “YEAAA for Joe Benson! Hope it includes NHRA coverage I’ll be banging down his door Quick story about our Uncle Joe Joe and his much better half Jan are along for the ride and afternoon shift in the KFWB Jet Copter 98 Wayne Richardson at the controls me in the reporter’s seat left front with Jan and Joe in the back ALL of us in tears listening to an Uncle Joe story about a rock and roll legend interview and we’re not 50 feet off the ground just leaving Van Nuys airport The date is 29 April 1992 In about 15 minutes the mood in our world changes dramatically Wayne has us positioned just North east of Florence and Normandy all hell is breaking loose I’m reporting on everything I can see We hear someone in an LAPD airship say on a frequency that we all can hear ‘you know I think were being fired at from the ground!’ A second later Joe taps me on the shoulder and with his very best straight-faced smile with raised eyebrows says ‘maybe you guys could take Jan and I back to Van Nuys Airport’ Joe tells that story every time we meet up at some racetrack with embellishments I will never repeat Love you Joe I hope you land exactly where you want to be with a pant load of Long time listener and Gear Head buddy” – Jeff Baugh Townsquare’s Newest “Congratulations Joe Benson! Wishing you all the best at your new gig” – Phil Harvey KFAC Ad “That KFAC ad with the nude woman in a mink threw me for a loop I don’t recall seeing it before and I’ve got to think that pd Carl Princi who was one of the classiest guys I ever met he was the first radio person I met when I was 7 and sparked my desire to become a broadcaster must have had issues with it There’s got to be a story there Your brief story on the Tappet brothers jogged my memory of one of the shows I syndicated in the mid-80s The Auto Report hosted by John Dinkle then the editor of Road and Track and wonderfully co-hosted by Bruce Chandler who I had met in the early 70s when he was at KMEN Bruce later tipped me off to an opening at Transtar where I spent the next 23 years What a treat working with him and with Dinkle who had been a frequent guest of Michael Jackson on KABC before joining our show” – Larry Jack Boxer Sad at Mark Morris Passing “I knew Mark Morris and we were friends I was impressed by his gentlemanliness and valued his friendship I am shocked and appalled at the news of his untimely death He shall surely be missed” – Laura Brodian Freas Beraha Best Employee “Mark Morris was one of the best employees l have ever had Always calm I often quote him about not letting obstacles get in the way Go around He is missed” – Saul Levine Genial Personality “Sorry to learn of Mark Morris’ passing I always enjoyed seeing and talking with him during my promotional visits to KACE and KKJZ His genial personality and enthusiasm was truly an asset to his radio shows” – Don Graham Morris Nice Guy “Saddened to hear of the passing of Mark Morris One of the nicest guys I ever worked with RIP Mark One of the good guys” – Rob Frazier Morris Professional “Sad to hear of Mark Morris’ passing He was one of the best guys I ever worked with He was so professional at his craft An excellent radio dj and production guy He was always in a good mood and no task was too great for him He always got the job done But most especially his kindness toward others I never heard him speak an unkind word about anyone He had that great smile and laugh that I’ll miss The heavens are brighter with him” – Dominick Garcia Classic Uncle Joe Lands at Townsquare May 4 2018 Uncle Joe Benson veteran of KLOS twice for over 15 years KLSX ‘Arrow 93’ KCBS and most recently 1003/The Sound has landed a nighttime syndicated program for Townsquare’s weeknight “Ultimate Classic Rock” He will be able to do the show heard on 60 stations from his home “I’ll be saving 2-25 hours traffic each day” said Uncle Joe Joe had a long tenure as host of Westwood One’s weekly “Off the Record” and many of his interviews stories and videos will be part of “Ultimate Classic Rock” program “I know all the elements I know all the songs I can tell my stories I’ve been doing for years I’ll be able to do the features I’ve done for years There will probably be a 1010 a story on ‘this day in history’ and various other features that will allow me to tell stories” Joe said by phone yesterdayGrowing up in the Midwest Joe would frequently just go out to his garage with his buddies and hang out He took that same concept in chatting with some of the biggest names in the music business “We opened up Uncle Joe’s Garage and started shooting videos during the interviews At least 5000 people view the interviews each week some weeks as many as 80000 I just love having fun with people” It was a matter of great timing for Joe and his boss Kurt Johnson a big dj in the 70s and early 80s at Townsquare “It took a couple of months to sort out the situation with Entercom and CBS and Townsquare was looking to make a change with the ‘Ultimate Classic Rock’ program I already knew how to do syndication since ‘Off the Record’ has been going for twenty years” The AOR legend proudly talked about his kids His daughter is graduating from the University of the Pacific “She’s a performance bassoonist and going for her Master’s in Toronto My son is an extraordinary guitarist and this summer his band will be on tour He’s extraordinary Steve Miller has been his mentor Just to see the talent in the two kids I wish my dad was around to see it” In 1968 Joe started working for a small station in Dubuque After stops in Milwaukee and Cleveland he joined KLOS in October 1980 “I’ve had the pleasure of working with a lot of great people” In January 1995 the Classic Rock station KLSX hired Joe to reprise his popular Sunday night show as well as do fill-in In summer 1996 he returned to KLOS to host 7th Day and by January 1997 was working afternoon drive In August 1997 Joe took the morning shift at Arrow 93 featuring more of his ‘stories’ to compliment the music intensive Classic Rock format Over the years he has written several volumes of discographies Uncle Joe’s Record Guides Joe a racecar enthusiast and driver has also been covering motor sports on-air since 1986 and has been announcing at the California Speedway since its inception in 1997 “The sport I enjoy the most I can participate in it a little bit That’s pretty fun” In other news: Peter Bowen former DOS for CBS/LA has taken on the Director of Sports assignment at Entercom/Chicago Bowen was most recently vp/market manager of the Cumulus/Chicago cluster until September 2017 … Ben Shapiro formerly mornings at Salem’s KRLA is launching a second Ben Shapiro podcast a Sunday new long-form interview series The idea behind the Sunday series is to provide more in-depth interviews while not disrupting the fast-paced daily news format of the weekday show Shapiro is also a nationally-syndicated columnist since age 17 and a graduate of UCLA and Harvard Law School … Ken Minyard longtime morning man at KABC has some striking thoughts about radio that he shared on Facebook: “I just listened to a couple of commercial radio stations this morning for the 1st time in years It’s easy to see why terrestrial radio is dying If you are accustomed to listening to satellite radio or podcasts or any of the other Internet options it is almost impossible to tolerate the avalanche of commercials fired at you Back when I was in the game it was just as bad but listeners didn’t have the choices they have today The path forward is pretty bleak Today’s radio is just as outdated as 8-track tapes imo” Mark Morris LARP Veteran for 30 Years Dies May 3 2018 Mark Morris a beloved local broadcaster died yesterday of a ruptured fistula He had been on kidney dialysis for a few years Most recently Mark had a show at Hot923thebeatcom He was thought to be in his 50s according to Johnny St John Newton who gave Mark his first job in 1988 at KKLA “Mark was a gentleman” said Johnny by phone this morning while fighting back tears “He was first class all the way He was very very professional in his job” The native Los Angeleno grew up near Baldwin Park He got the radio bug while working on Loyola Marymount University’s college station KXLU where he was general manager for two years During his tenure as manager the staff won back-to-back awards as Radio Station of the Year With a sparkle in his voice he proclaimed his school the “Marines of God” Mark did morning drive news and production at KKLA then moving to SI Communications between 1988 and 1990 Mark was also part of the morning drive team at KACE during its “Quiet Storm” period While at KLSX in the mid 90’s he was the host and producer of a syndicated NAC show “Night Songs” that was heard on over 20 stations His radio resume was deep In addition to the above named stations he was a producer at Alan Beck’s Underground Oldies Show production director at 1110/KRLA working with Huggy Boy Art Laboe and Mucho Morales production director at AM 1100 KFAX production director at Salem/San Francisco air talent at Mount Wilson FM Broadcasters production director at Oldies 1260 morning show host at K-JAZZ production director at Mega 100 which became Hot 923/fm production director at Comedy World and director of production at KLSX 971 FM “I last spoke to Mark on April 10th” emailed Mike Johnson operations director at K-JAZZ “He seemed in good spirits and we had talked about meeting one day soon for lunch and going to a Dodger game He was a great man and a true professional I will miss him” AMP Says Yes to Yesi May 3 2018 I met Yesi Ortiz former middayer at Power 106 and now at the same slot at AMP Radio at an SCBA function at Disneyland Her energy was undeniable as she met guests from the theme park and signed autographs She has an incredible personal life raising six adopted kids LA Weekly published a 2015 story about Yesi by Rebecca Haithcoat Here are some highlights: As a child Yesi Ortiz was so shy that she would opt for an F rather than speak in front of the class “I always felt like I was an outsider I used to talk to myself — I still do!” says the petite bubbly Ortiz bursting into laughter and wrapping her hands around a steaming cup of spiced apple tea one brisk evening But her most impressive title might be “Mom” In addition to her duties on air she juggles being an adoptive mother to six kids “I’m very successful because of the drama in my life” says Ortiz Her lips are curved into a perma-smile “There’s no time to have a pity party” Born in San Clemente to Mexican immigrants who spoke little English and divorced when she was a baby Ortiz had difficulty making friends The town was predominantly white yet she was one of a handful of Latinos taking ESL classes To make blending in trickier Ortiz and her mother stepfather and sister all lived in a single room they rented in someone’s apartment Adrift after graduating high school in the late 1990s Ortiz was listening to Power 106 and heard a commercial advertising the Academy of Radio and Television Broadcasting She and her mother had a stormy relationship but watching her mom learn English by singing along to the radio was its one sunny spot So she signed up and in less than six months had landed a gig as the “Latin Diva” at a new station in Las Vegas Her career was taking off but there was trouble at home Six of her sister’s children had been taken into foster care Ortiz found a radio job in San Diego but the station was located in Tijuana Having spent a good chunk of her savings on hiring a lawyer to fight for the kids she moved into a cheap apartment in TJ and survived on peanut butter–and-jelly sandwiches Her perseverance paid off — within two years she had become the 25-year-old foster mother of three boys and three girls all of whom she later adopted She has appeared on the popular VH1 show Love amp Hip-Hop but the fame hasn’t gone to her head — her kids are a built-in equalizer “They don’t care that I was just on air with JLo” Ortiz says hopping into her mom van “They just want to know what’s for dinner” Read the entire story by clicking Yesi’s photo provided by Ryan Orange Two LARPs on the TIME 100 Most Influential TIME’s annual list of the world’s most influential people is a designation of individuals whose time in our estimation is now The TIME 100 isn’t a measure of power though many on the list wield it Nor is it a collection of milestones accumulated As our staff considers candidates we often find ourselves wowed by those with stunning lifetime achievements But editorial director Dan Macsai maestro of the TIME 100 brings us back to the key question: Was this their year by Dick Durbin Jimmy Kimmel is a funny man and he makes a living telling jokes about people like me Washington never fails to give him plenty of material But my favorite Jimmy moment was a serious monologue with only a few laughs Last year Jimmy told America the story of his infant son Billy who was born with a congenital heart

Maybe April 30 2018 While preparing this column on “what defines an Oldie” I had SiriusXM on my radio Their 60s channel was counting down the big hits of January 1960 A shorthand look at the 50s would probably include Chuck Berry Elvis Presley and Fats Domino while the 60s split between the Beach Boys The Beatles and Motown And then there was everything in between Included in the January 1960 countdown was Scarlett Ribbons by the Browns Uh Oh Part Two by the Nutty Squirrels and the Village of St Bernadette by Andy Williams Would you consider any of these three songs hits representative of the era Hardly but there they were in the Top 20 of that chart Trying to answer the question of when an Oldie was no longer considered Oldies is prompted by an earlier question from Rich Brother Robbin proprietor of RichBroRadio on the Internet His site plays primarily the hits from the 50s and 60s He asked if the cutoff for the Top 40 era is earlier or even later Gary Lane thinks the cutoff year was 1963 “You know it’s kind of funny Tom Clay Pat Michaels and I were talking about this years ago at KWIZ in Santa Ana” emailed Gary Dodger Steve believes a true Oldie stands the test of time and can get people moving and grooving whenever and where it’s played The Disco era signaled the end of Oldies for Bob Scott “If I had to pick a year I would say 1973” “My short answer is that there is no answer” emailed Lane Quigley longtime host on RockItRadionet “Music is in a constant state of evolution Even on those rare occasions when there seemed to be a ‘big bang’ eg Beatles / Rock Around The Clock that music evolved from all that came before” Quigley continued: “You will recall that when I was doing my Memory Lane Show on KUSC in the 70’s we played ‘pre-Beatle Oldies’ That was a convenient delineation of the end of the first era of rock amp roll mainly because it seemed to generate interest in music to a younger audience than what came before It was probably the last such clear delineation Over time I think the term Oldies has come to represent Rock music through the end of the 60’s Most folks will always think the music of their school years was the best but the term ‘Oldie’ does not generally seem to be applied to music from the 70’s and beyond” “I think that the British invasion and influence from bands like the Grass Roots Paul Revere and the Raiders Gary Lewis and the Playboys Credence Clearwater etc all contributed to making some of the late 50’s and early 60’s music sound really old” emailed Craig Roberts “Many of those 60’s songs played well up to the mid 70’s then of course the ‘New Wave’ sound of the 80’s made those records sound old Time marches on and so does music” “First while as a convenience I keep my favorite Oldies 50s-and-60s in a single sub-directoryin reality I consider 1968 as an end of Oldies” wrote Chime Hart of Sherman Oaks “The music of ‘69 was much less enjoyable especially among slower records along with Progressive Rock invading While there are some songs from each year which I enjoy it does seem to go in cycles Just as a lull in 1960 1970 was not so good but 1961 and 1971 had lots of material I purchased As for early Oldies stations my friend up in Oakland says KWIZ went Oldies on January 7 1965” Personally I’m a big fan of 50s and 60s music because it is in my wheelhouse when I went to school Memories are usually associated with a period of first-discoveries in relationships When Rich first posed the question I thought back to 1968 I was national program director for Gordon McLendon based in Dallas We were invited to an Iron Butterfly concert After 15 minutes of In Gadda Da Vida I turned to my wife and said “The music has now passed me by” Thanks to those who participated Rock on … My buddy with the blast furnace energy Rich Brother Robbin gets the last word: My view is that “Top 40” and “Oldies” are different formats Top 40 is the 40 most popular songs as determined by the best research we could get on any given week Oldies is totally different from Top 40 and is far more subjective When the Oldies format really caught fire in the mid-70’s through early 80’s we literally threw in the kitchen sink For example we played El Paso by Marty Robbins “hey it was number one for the entire year in 1960” or even more odd Bobby Vinton’s There I’ve Said it Again a chart-topper in 1964 that eclipsed a whole gob of super-smash Beatles songs just because it was number one We quickly discovered the MOR Country and fringy novelty stuff didn’t synergize with the rest of the playlist of pop hits and artists We realized playing Oldies was more about the sonic compatibility of songs versus their chart position Should There I Said it Again get more airplay than I Want to Hold Your Hand just because the former charted higher the year of release Of course not We discovered it was more about “fit” though what “fits” and “doesn’t fit” is subjective We learned stations which kept the music poppin’ offering three or four up-tempo tunes for every ballad or “slower” song got better and better audiences Music research entered into programming then there was good ol’ Bill “less songs bigger hits more often” Drake making changes at KRTH cutting the playlist to 300 – 400 selections and the ratings soared Instead of old stodgy numbers or silly Country bullshit Oldies stations playing more up-tempo songs and knock-your-head off ballads like the Righteous Brothers had greater success So am guessin’ my answer to the question is it’s about music from an era that match sonically The real question is which songs fit together Starting from Elvis there’s the Beatles Beach Boys Everly Brothers Chuck Berry good ol’ American pop from the late 50’s and 60’s Motown more of the British Invasion and so on probably through a year or two after the Beatles’ break-up in 1969 In the end the Oldies format is the Oldies format but it’s jus not that black-and-white We have mainstream Oldies mellow Oldies rock Oldies poppy wimpy Oldies sickening or romantic depending on your disposition and gender sappy ballads and on and on They’re ALL Oldies! So Oldies is like ice cream We all know what it is but the hook is coming up with the most popular flavors for the folks livin’ around your particular ice cream stand! Nostalgia Sunday Bonus – On this Day in 2006 Dan Avey Star and 2009 Clear Channel Massive Firings USC Strikes Up the Band for Star Dan Avey April 29 2006 Members of the USC Marching Band put everyone at the Dan Avey Star unveiling on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in a festive mood and apparently held off the threatening rain clouds “We have the band we might as well have a pep rally” declared Johnny Grant Master of Ceremonies at the Star unveiling and Honorary Mayor of Hollywood About 8:30 am yesterday morning members of Dan’s family who had been at staying at the Roosevelt Hotel walked up Hollywood Boulevard looking for a place to have breakfast They decided to walk by the El Capitan Theatre and get a sneak peek at Dan’s Star Yikes!

worked with Dan “When I joined the Kings Dan who had been there for a couple of years showed me the ropes” said Bob Bob told the story of the time the Kings owner Jack Kent Cooke called the broadcast pair into his office Cooke had just signed Datsun now Nissan to a long-term contract and insisted that Datsun be inserted into the play-by-play call in every game Cooke suggested “There’s Marcella Dionne scooting down the ice like a Datsun” Pictured: Johnny Grant presenting LA City Proclamation “I can’t imagine Mr Cooke ever saying that once let alone 80 times a year” Bob remembered telling his boss “Cooke went crazy He gave us three hours to figure out how we were going to do it Dan actually offered an idea that when the game starts you can say the Kings have scored ten seconds into the game…and the Dan would say Datsoon” Miller also told another story on Avey Dan sent an audtion package to KFI to get hired He had been working in Spokane “Dan got the rudest letter from the program

carried on – you guessed it – KFI He went on to work at KFI” Pictured: Gil Stratton Bob Miller Avey Randy Kerdoon Cindy Dole Jack Popejoy Dirck Morgan In conclusion Miller said “Dan you’ve been a

Beatles to John Wooden From the President of the United States to OJ Simpson and everybody in between Today is like the frosting on the cake I am so indebted to all of you I’ve worked with Some of my bosses really took a chance – Jhani Kaye Greg Tantum and Erik Braverman who worked for five months to get me to KABC” Dan concluded: “To all my colleagues friends and family it is great to have you all here You have enriched my life by being here” Sunday Nostalgia – 9 Years Ago Today Nearly 600 at Clear Channel Get Downsized April 29 2009 Another tough day of layoffs for close to 600 Clear Channel employees across the country The company is not providing any names of those who were let go on Tuesday though it appears programming and administrative were hardest hit The following list is pieced together from various sources: Steve Reisig – HR Director Al B Sure – KHHT HOT 923 abshot923gmailcom Rick Nuhn – KHHT PJ Butta – KHHT Ted Ziegenbusch – KOST tedziggyaolcom Brie Tennis – KOST lefromageverizonnet Christian Wheel – KBIG MY/fm christianwheelgmailcom DJ Ray Rhodes – KBIG RRhodes401aolcom Larry Davis – KBIG There were messages about dozens of behind-the-scenes administrative people being let go besides those on-air listed above Also included were weekenders and board ops If you were let go and would like your email address made available LARadio is very willing to publish it No CC cluster seemed spared yesterday Chris Carmichael at SDRadionet reports that at least a dozen Clear Channel employees were let go The Inland Empire CC cluster was also affected The severance package is the same as the one offered in January when 1850 lost their jobs Employees who worked for the company less than a year were given three months’ severance One to two years of service are offered six months while for those with Clear Channel for three years or more the severance package is nine months pay At the time of the January layoffs Mark Mays ceo of Clear Channel said “We enter 2009 as a solid company and in the most competitive position possible We have thought carefully and at some length about the steps we need to take as a company to succeed during this unprecedented downturn As a result we have eliminated approximately 1850 positions across Corporate Outdoor and Radio While a significant portion of these positions represent a realignment in our sales departments the positions span all departments and represent approximately 9 of the total Clear Channel Communications workforce Everyone in our investor group on the Board and in the executive leadership team remains bullish about the long-term growth prospects for Clear Channel We continue to believe that the Outdoor and Radio businesses offer excellent opportunities Some of the remaining Clear Channel employees were told that the company anticipated no further mass layoffs AllAccess reported: “A company-wide change announced in parallel is that after April 30th 401k matching would be suspended for this year It will however be retroactively restored if 90 of the 2009 budget goals are met for employees who continue to contribute to the 401k plan and are eligible” Yesterday afternoon Clear Channel president/ceo John Hogan wrote an internal memo to the staff: In January we took the first steps to adjust our business to the realities that all media companies face this year Those actions were in response to initial results of a thorough analysis of every part of our business The actions weren’t easy and were necessary to make sure we remain competitive this year and are in the best possible position once the economy begins to recover Today we completed the adjustments based on the final results of that analysis The introduction of technology brings tremendous efficiencies to every industry and also fundamentally changes the way business is done On a personal level one of the most difficult contradictions technology creates is that increased productivity effectively eliminates jobs The media industry is no different than any other business in this respect At the same time along with difficult choices we continue to make progress We have introduced and created a host of resources that help us: make better decisions serve our customers and audiences more effectively and lower our cost of doing business These resources are crucial to the future health and growth of Clear Channel Radio While we remain optimistic about our business economic conditions continue to be challenging It is up to all of us ‘from senior management to the front lines’ to continue to improve our competitive position We must deliver the highest value to our audiences and our advertisers while doing everything we can to help drive revenues We can all be proud that Clear Channel Radio outperformed all other radio companies in the first quarter this year It’s imperative that we remain focused on maintaining this lead as we hopefully move closer to a market recovery This is the time for creative thinking about better ways to engage our audiences This is the time to find new ways to bring more value to our marketing partners and advertisers This is the time to make smart decisions about resources costs and investments We see enormous long-term opportunity in our business if we continue to do the right things to make our company better and even more competitive I thank you for your hard work and dedication and look forward to working with you to realize that success John Hogan Email Saturday 42818 Condition of Scott St James “Omg Sorry for poor Scott St James Life

Ridiculous and shameful for the industry” Sky proclaimed Criticism of the ratings industry is nothing new Unless you are 1 everyone seems to have concern over their accuracy “We have seen our online listening increase by 40” wrote Daniels “Social media postings reaching 2 million impressions and our current pledge drive is breaking all records including the week that Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers were playing our first benefit which made history in the radio annals” Sky knows firsthand the seduction of striving to be 1 “I know talking about ratings can always sound like sour grapes However having developed stations like the Loop where one out of every two Chicago teens apparently listened to my show my question back then was wondering what the other teens were listening to I too have been seduced by the nectar that is 1 in the ratings Non-comm offers hope to those who want a deeper less predictable radio experience Listeners deserve better radio” “Having a listener donate 100 in an ‘honor system’ is way more compelling than ‘cume’” continued Daniels “When it comes to ratings sadly very few broadcasters look at the big picture For example when KSCA jumped from 32 to FIRST with the morning host taking just FOUR meters and set them to “hear” his show Ironically did the industry collectively revolt that four meters could impact the LA book that dramatically No They focused on ‘he cheated’” The LA Times wrote: “Nielsen has been attempting to verify that individuals who participated in its sample audience panel were truly independent and did not have ties to any radio stations or radio personalities that were being measured The ratings agency said that it needed to ‘remove a household from the panel for not meeting our quality standards’ Radio industry insiders said such actions were unprecedented One person said the move marked the first time in more than a decade that the release of radio ratings in Los Angeles had been postponed due to such concerns” Mark Ramsey a leading audio thinker wrote: “One single household has this scale of impact In LA! So what’s really going on here”“The rumor in the radio industry is that this particular household had media ties and the usage recorded was significant enough to skew the overall ratings for the market” wrote Ramsey “Indeed how could it be otherwise Because if one household mattered so little to the overall results then why would Nielsen bother to hold back the ratings for the entire market in the first place The very withholding of the data implies that one household has the potential to skew the whole in a significant way” Ramsey went on: “Ponder that for a moment: One household in Los Angeles has the potential to meaningfully skew the ratings for America’s largest market! And if this one household can do that in LA then can’t any one household in any market do it any time What does this say about the validity of the metrics Why is one goofy household with outlandish listening habits be any more goofy than any other goofy household with outlandish listening simply because it is affiliated with a local media company” Turns out it was two households involved but still Meanwhile Sky will continue to champion new music by emerging musicians as well as veteran artists resulting in shout-outs from A-list rockers including Paul McCartney Ringo Starr Tom Petty Jackson Browne U2 and Bonnie Raitt Sting added his name to that list saluting “… the station’s format for providing much appreciated exposure to him and other musicians who have fallen out of favor with Top 40 and other commercial radio outlets” KJLH Ticket Giveaway Roger Collins Dies April 25 2018 Roger Collins veteran of KFI 1978-83 KUTE 1983-87 and KLIT 1989-90 passed away April 23 of colon cancer John Rook hired Roger at KFI as music director and assistant pd Roger was thrilled to be working with the All-Star staff that Rook had assembled Born Paul Lancaster in Winslow Arizona he started his radio career in 1963 in Winslow followed by jobs in Holbrook Arizona and Odessa Texas From 1971 until arriving in the Southland Roger worked in the Tucson market He was sports director of KGUN/TV pd of KTKT and KRQQ Roger was director of instruction at the Los Angeles Broadcasters School during much of the 80s He was also operations director of Breneman Radio Services and the Breneman Review After returning to Arizona Roger produced video workshops for school kids at Northern Arizona University and was a consultant to Native American education radio for the Navajo Nation He also programmed KAFF FM/AM KMGN/fm KVNA-FM/AM and KZGL/fm He went on to sales in Flagstaff“Roger had only been sick for a couple of months” emailed colleague Jeffrey Leonard “Roger called me back in late February to tell me that the cancer had just been discovered and he was getting treated He had an incredibly positive attitude having beaten prostate cancer 10 years ago The last text I received from him was on April 9th when he simply said ‘thanks for being a great friend’ All texts after that went unanswered Roger reminded me a lot of Mark Denis He was an extraordinarily spiritual person who never said anything bad about anyone ever Needless to say I am heartbroken Rest in peace Rog” Roger was among the couple of dozen or so pros who taught at Jimi Fox’s broadcast school Los Angeles Broadcasters aka The LAB remembered Randy West When I was hired Roger indoctrinated me to the format yes of course Jimi had it tightly formatted!

Oldie April 23 2018 Rich Brother Robbin has been a friend since 1966 We share a love for Oldies music the kind of music made popular in the 50s and 60s We had the first full-time 24/7 live Oldies station in the country in Detroit at W4 in 1969 After his run on CHR/Oldies ran out he started his own radio station on the Internet at RichBroRadiocom We were talking about music recently when Rich posed a question that may be of fodder for you For those of you who still love Sam Cooke Fats Domino and Chuck Berry at what point in history did music change to something that doesn’t “fit” with what we know as “hardcore Oldies” When is a song no longer a legit Oldie something different than the stuff from the 70s “When / what is the general year / years when most of the songs changed enough to sonically stop fitting with the older stuff” asked Rich I came up with my own answer but thought I would share it after others have had an opportunity to also do so What do you think Don’t forget our email address has changed to: AvilaBeachdbgmailcom Nostalgia Sunday – 9 Years Ago Today Hats Off to Larry April 22 2009 You’d think Southern Californians would be used to earthquakes yet when the ground starts shaking many wary residents call in to their local radio stations perhaps as a catharsis to the unexpected Recently a listener to KNX could hear callers describe the latest seismic event whether it was a sharp jolt a brief rolling motion and for what duration But then there was something more The anchor briefly chatted with each caller – did anything fell off the kitchen shelves at the caller’s home Any jittery nerves from the aftershocks Was the caller a long-time local resident or was it a first experience with an earthquake Have a home emergency kit prepared It was just like talking to a caring neighbor only it was being broadcast on a 50000 watt radio station Then again when the news anchor once hosted a tv program called Help Thy Neighbor offering a personal touch to his listeners should be second nature for Larry Van Nuys When last interviewed by LARadiocom back in 1998 Larry said he’d decided to leave radio because of the precariousness of ongoing format changes “After a many years in radio and television I made the successful transition to a very lucrative career as a voice talent every day doing promos commercials and trailers much of it out of my home studio” said Larry There was really no pressing reason for him to return to radio Yet there was something missing “After ten or so years I missed the interaction with friends and co-workers I had been doing some fill-in news anchoring at Arrow 93 in morning drive When it made the switch to JACK/fm I called Ed Pyle KNX news director and told him I missed the excitement and challenges of radio He was so kind and generous and invited me to audition” Larry got the job as a weekend and fill-in anchor on the all-news station “In hiring me Ed gave me the opportunity to enter one of the most productive and satisfying chapters in this road many of us travel It has reawakened all the feelings of excitement that brought me into broadcasting in the first place” Larry also thanked former KNX gm David G Hall who put Larry in his current 7 pm to midnight news anchor duties each weeknight “Although it sounds cliché I wake up in the morning now and can’t wait to get to work It reminded me that what we do is meaningful…and fun!” Born in Providence Rhode Island Larry later moved to the Southland where he attended Los Angeles High School He recalls how important radio was from his earliest years “Radio was always a big part of my life As a youngster I listened to all the radio serial shows I remember sending away for a decoder ring so I could decode secret messages I waited for what seemed like months and then the excitement of going to the mailbox and seeing that little package … sitting there saying ‘OK big guy…now you’re in the in-crowd!’” Then it was Chuck Blore and KFWB Channel 98 on Larry’s radio dial “I always treasure the fact that later in life I actually got a chance to be directed for some spots by the architect of Color Radio Chuck Blore Larry also listened to KHJ as “Boss Radio and all the other iterations of modern radio flowed out of all our speakers day and night as I grew up” How did Larry first get interested in pursuing his own radio career “While the other kids were playing baseball I was playing dj using a wooden spoon for my microphone I actually ripped off all the labels of my mother’s canned food and pretended they were earphones For months she never knew what she was opening for dinner … she still kids me about that” Eventually Larry’s parents purchased him a Webcor tape recorder “and I was off to the races” His first job was at Saul Levine’s fm jazz station KBCA “I’ll always be grateful to Saul who gave me my first chance to do what I always dreamed of” Back then Larry’s audience was a bit limited “To even hear fm you had to have a special under-dash radio or if you really had some bucks you had a Blaupunkt installed in your car We didn’t have a lot of listeners or commercials … but I was finally a dj! My dear grandparents who would really be more comfortable with Montovani listened every night because they loved and were proud of me They could tell you the difference between Thelonius Monk and Chet Baker…bless their souls” Larry’s grandparents listened to their grandson at every opportunity “too bad we didn’t have the PPM’s in those years” Larry then traveled to KXO in El Centro doing just about everything at the station from powering up the transmitter to helping with janitorial duties “One of the proudest tasks I was assigned at KXO was to bring in the Richfield Reporter on Sunday nights which was fed from KNX in Los Angeles It was so exciting to be involved with a major market giant like that I never dreamed that I would ever get to actually work there What a trip it is to even remember the awe I felt and still feel for the station” One of Larry’s first stops in Los Angeles was KGFJ “I worked there with Hunter Hancock Rosko Bill Mercer and Larry McCormick et al On the day I auditioned I went into the studio to cut a demo and when I came out no one was around I found everyone gathered around a tv in a back office I asked what’s going on ‘Someone said the President’s been shot’ I actually remember saying ‘the President of what’ That was the day JFK was shot and killed I guess this falls into ‘Everyone remembers where they were that day’” Though Larry worked at other local stations including powerhouses such as KFI KMPC and KABC he is often best remembered from his days as the midday host on San Fernando’s KGIL “It was the best of times…this little low power teapot in the Valley was actually competing with the big 50000 watt giant KMPC In those days we chose our own music” KGIL did what it could to make itself visible “I sat in a broadcast trailer on the weekends doing remotes I think I opened every Taco Bell in the Valley One remote that still makes me smile is when I MC’d the opening of a new traffic light in Encino But I loved it!” The station also invited listeners to vicariously share with the KGIL family LA Times ad promoting Larry in the late 1960s “We did live reports from our wedding I did a remote from the hospital when my daughter was born I put together a one hour montage of music to reflect how happy I felt that day and the listeners were part of it” Larry’s colleagues at KGIL include many renowned personalities: “Sweet” Dick Whittington Tom Brown Wink Martindale and Paul Compton “all led brilliantly by Chuck Southcott” Larry fondly remembers when Paul Compton would offer the lyrical intro “we’re coming to the intersection of Compton and Van Nuys… Paul was an amazing and poetic man of great depth and character which came across on the air” “Larry had a great sense of the music His sense of the music was amazing Larry did some long shifts when he first started at KGIL doing 8-hour weekend and fill-ins yet he did a great job orchestrating his program over all that time” said Chuck Southcott Larry’s former colleague and program director Chuck chuckled as he told the story of the Studio City Christmas Parade for which Larry and Chuck served as emcees from an announcing booth “It was a terribly rainy day The grand marshal was Andy Griffith we went out with a mic and had him greet the crowd Then there were a number of female stars who were headed for the Queen Mary Larry went out in the street – in a pair of Gucci shoes – and talked to Carol Channing about what she was doing now a little bit about her career Why does Chuck always bring up the Guccis mused Larry There were other stars then Judy Garland appears Wait a minute we thought – Judy Garland is dead Turns out these starlets we interviewed were men dressed up as women female impersonators heading for a nightclub called the ‘Queen Mary’ not the ship in Long Beach It was a very strange night I shared with Larry” Of Larry’s current work Chuck said “he’s the best sounding news guy in town … he’s great on KNX” This series was researched and written by LARadiocom senior correspondent Alan Oda In part 2 of “Hats off to Larry” more tales from KGIL including the recollections of Dick Whittington Larry’s tv work including – of course – Help Thy Neighbor voiceover work with Aaron Spelling Productions serving the Arthritis Foundation and more about what he enjoys today doing Newsradio You can reach Larry Van Nuys at: larryvngmailcom Larry Van Nuys has been a familiar face on tv for decades and now evening anchor at KNX Newsradio LARadiocom senior correspondent Alan Oda talks with Larry about his career This is part two of our series Hats Off to Larry “Larry contributed many musically perfect shows at KGIL” said Dick Whittington Of Larry’s on-air persona “he’s was what Dr Phil would like to be Larry did it first on Channel 5 for many years” And Dick still tunes in to hear his former KGIL teammate “When Larry reads the news on KNX no matter how dire I always smile and say to myself: ‘Oh that couldn’t be happening that’s just ol’ ‘Lar’ going for another Edward R Murrow award” Van Nuys holding award from Arthritis organization for his two decade dedication in hosting annual telethon For his part Larry has his own story about the man once known as ‘Sweet Dick’ “He was finishing up his shift and called my wife Marsha and made it sound as though the call accidentally got on the air and said ‘well the jerk is going to be on the air for 5 hours so I’ll be over in about 20 minutes is there anything you want me to bring’ Marsha said without missing a beat ‘Kleenex’ Bill Smith late of KTLA who used to work with Dick in the morning still tells that story” Larry was also prominent on that other medium known as television “I had the good fortune to work at KTLA when Gene Autry owned it Given his stature and prominence globally it was amazing to watch him take the time to know everyone’s name on the lot and foster an environment that encouraged creative people to be their best” He recalls his days hosting the tv show Help Thy Neighbor “It was a live show that aired at 7:30 pm every night following Bowling for Dollars with Chick Hearn It was a show where people who needed some help would appear and the audience would call in with solutions It was live on the air I couldn’t possibly share all the amazing and emotional stories that played out on the air We found solutions for everything from people who needed a kidney to finding work for an unemployed elephant … I kid you not!” The show received national attention in publications including Newsweek Readers Digest and TV Guide as well as winning “a wheel barrow full” of prestigious awards Larry takes pleasure recalling his charity work during his years at KTLA “I co-hosted the national Arthritis Telethon for over 20 years often originating from the KTLA studios but also from other locales nationwide I would love to think that some of our efforts funded research that eased suffering or passed on information that alerted people of warning signs that helped them avoid years of chronic pain” His efforts on behalf of the Arthritis Foundation gave him the opportunity to work with many celebrities including the late Mayor of Hollywood Johnny Grant “One of the proudest moments for me was to be honored with the Arthritis Foundation’s Johnny Grant Humanitarian Award” said Larry Photo from mid-80s: Participants in early Arthritis Telethon include Victoria Principal Jane Wyman Larry and Marsha Van Nuys “I also hosted the forerunner to Wheel of Fortune called Guessword It was the same game Hangman but without the wheel and Vanna Also we didn’t give away trips to Europe or shiny new automobiles … it was more like dog food and hand towels It did however have the distinction of being maybe the only live game show in history” Larry would later become the voice of KTLA which led to other voiceover opportunities His game show hosting talents weren’t later wasted “Hosting Guessword helped me immensely when Dan Enright asked me to do the announcing for shows like Tic Tac Dough From there my skills grew and I found a whole new venue for my talent when Mike McLean an associate of Aaron Spelling hired me to voice his shows during the years he spent with ABC…Dynasty…The Love Boat…et al” But his voiceover career all started at KTLA “I will be forever grateful to Tony Cassara the gm of Channel 5 at the time He became the President of the Paramount Stations Group and opened up a whole new world of voiceover opportunities for me” Still it’s clear that Larry’s heart is still found behind a radio microphone “Radio is immediate intimate and ultimately a one on one relationship between you and someone who’s stuck in traffic at the workplace or streaming on the Internet in Timbuktu … it’s just the two of you” He describes the challenges of working at KNX “In News Radio it’s also vital and important work when people are concerned or fearful during an earthquake fire or an emergency when accurate information can be the difference between life and death I can’t begin to tell you how gratifying it feels to play a small but important part in that effort” Larry knows the challenges of providing information 24 hours a day Photo: An 11-year-old Larry Van Nuys as the ‘Borden’s Milkman’ with Kathy Godfrey sister of Arthur Godfrey KPHO-Phoenix “With the fast moving changing events around the world people have a hunger for news and all of us at KNX take that responsibility very seriously All the other broadcast disciplines are seductive in their own ways but they all have one thing in common – they are all about communicating they’re all about trying to identify your own truth and connecting with the people who are spending their valuable time with you” Hats Off to Larry Part 3 This morning is the final installment of our series on KNX Newsradio’s Larry Van Nuys This series was researched and written by Alan Oda LARadiocom senior correspondent Larry’s current boss KNX / KFWB director of news programming Andy Ludlum describes what Larry brings to the all-News operation: Larry is a warm and authentic communicator and I think that really comes through every time he turns on his mic There’s no question Larry truly enjoys being on the radio and the KNX 1070 Newsradio audience loves listening to him Would you like to see Larry delivering the news Here’s a 3-minute YouTube link: And it’s apparent that Larry is one veteran not content to sit on his laurels “My challenge is keeping it fresh and honest To make something that’s difficult look effortless It has taken me a lifetime to find my own voice in this business…and I’m still learning” He relates how he brings his experience honed on music formats to his all-news anchor duties at KNX “I think the trust that an audience has with you is a key element in the success of any broadcaster It takes years for an audience to really get to know you feel like a friend and for that trust to develop Also no matter what kind of radio you’re doing there needs to be an entertainment component Even with news I think your unique personality is a big part of the product and has a bearing on its ultimate success” Larry speaks with great appreciation and pride about his family “Much of my success can be linked to my wonderful family My wife Marsha has not only been my partner for 40 years but my number one groupie pal and lover She has been a fan from the very beginning and always been there to watch my back in the good times and the lean times I’m also so proud of my daughter Amanda She has taken her Vassar education and blossomed into a truly amazing young woman As I’ve told her if there is such a thing as reincarnation I would love to come back as one of her children She is now a marketing executive at a major company in the Internet space” Larry Van Nuys eating crow after losing a 1980 Super Bowl bet with a Pittsburgh radio station The Rams lost to the Steelers 31 – 19 Larry humbly acknowledges his blessings from his on-air journey “We are all influenced by those who came before us For me Johnny Magnus was my hero…I wanted to be that great someday It still shocks me that I’ve had so many opportunities to know and work with some of the iconic figures in our business Sitting in for Ken amp Bob at KABC … Dick Whittinghill and Robert W Morgan at KMPC … following Lohman and Barkley at KFI These are the people I grew up admiring These are the people that remind me that excellence isn’t achieved without hard work and a love and respect for the audience Again how wonderful it is when you get to do what you love … I still have the passion” You can reach Larry at: larryvngmailcom Email Saturday 42118 Times Moving “Great seeing the photo of Bob McCormick on today’s page He’s a guy I miss encountering at the station back in the day… and a couple times at Flair Cleaners in Burbank Hard to believe ‘back in the day’ is 12 years ago already” – Ed Pyle Hayes Played a Role “Thank you for reprinting the Johnny Hayes story Growing up I shared many of the same thoughts and excitement about radio that Johnny enjoyed to the point that I became a huge fan of KYA living in Palo Alto I wanted to attend college in SoCal partially because of the radio business Dreams became reality when Johnny gave me my first job in life at the wondrous KRLA in 1968! What a life experience My business path was set thanks to him” – Ann Beebe Remembering Johnny Hayes “Thank you for the LARadiocom Nostalgia Sunday piece on Johnny Hayes I wasn’t a regular KRLA listener during my younger days in the West Valley — KMPC was our regular station during my most impressionable listening years — but when listening alone with the dial at arm’s length I’ve rarely been able resist the impulse to tune the dial to see what else is on There are many ways for a radio station to capture my ears but among the rarest is the voice that I could just sit and listen to regardless of what he or she is saying The voice of Johnny Hayes was one of those voices as they say what a great set of pipes As a radio listener I would sometimes fantasize being a program director There were three disc jockeys I wanted for my imaginary station: Johnny Magnus Chuck Niles and Johnny Hayes each playing whatever he wanted as long as he talked between each record I’m glad to read more about the man with that voice And since I’m writing over the years I’ve really enjoyed LARadiocom which my dad from whom I must have received a radio-listener gene will still bring up pretty regularly when I speak with my folks of the phone Growing up we almost always had the radio on — Bob Crane Arthur Godfrey Denny Bracken etc – on KNX when I was a young boy I got my first radio around the 3rd grade first listening to KFI I think KNX was all-News by then I switched to KMPC not long after Lohman and Barkley came about — hey I was 9! — so I came of age with Dick Whittinghill Geoff Edwards Gary Owens Roger Carroll the news and sports crew and the Angels Yet as I said above I turn the dial a lot even as a 3-year-old quietly taking my ‘nap’ after watching Sheriff John in the den — it was really mom’s nap time — I would turn that dial to catch KFWB Channel 98 or the Spanish announcers and music on KWKW putting it back to KNX when nap time was over And I always read the radio columns in the papers Citizen-News Herald-Examiner the Times Calendar section So many of those names especially from the morning shift before school or work or the weekends of the non-commercial FM stations of various formats from the ‘60s 70s and ‘80s both AM and FM are part of my radio memories of the first half of my life living in LA So I thank you for sharing your labor of love with all of us” – Ad astra Reverend Steven P Tibbetts born in Hollywood playing in Peoria Lunch with Johnny Hayes “In-N-Out Burgers sponsored the Johnny Hayes Count Down on KRLA from the very start I can’t remember the number of years it lasted He did an outstanding job ad-libbing all the commercials never once off a prepared script Before the program went on the air we met with then In-N-Out president Rich Snyder later killed in a plane crash at John Wayne Airport who gave us a tour of the entire company followed by lunch in the back of one of the restaurants only drive thrus in those days You could listen to the show while you waited for your order in the car” – Tom Bernstein Memories of Art Bell “Art Bell and I were friends for almost 50 years and I am more than saddened by his death When we met I was stationed at Vandenberg AFB and Art recently out of the Air Force was a jock at KSEE in Santa Maria The first time we talked was of course over ham radio The last time we spoke at his house in Pahrump was predictably also a lot about ham radio Besides working together for a time at KDON in Salinas Art and I didn’t actually spend a lot of time together over those 50 years but we always kept in touch over the phone email or ham radio My wife Sheryl and I had made plans to stay with Art and his wife during our trip to Southeast Asia a few years ago when he was living in the Philippines but the timing didn’t work out as they were moving back to Pahrump about that time Art was not only a one-of-a-kind broadcaster but also a one-of-a-kind human being The person you heard on the air was not who Art was His show was just that Space ships ghosts and the paranormal were not part of his normal conversations That was reserved for his on-air persona You had to know him to see the silly compassionate overly-bright and animated person he was Art my friend I’m sure going to miss you” – Jerry Lewine The Art of 91X “George Junak a former co-worker of mine from my days at 91X in San Diego says Art Bell did a weekend show on 91X in 1979 using the air name Art Trey That’s something I have never heard before or seen in print anywhere According to George Junak Art Bell asked then consultant Frank Felix if he could use the name Trey Bell on the all-Music format but Felix told him no They settled instead for Art Trey Junak says he even has an old air check of Art’s show on 91X from 10/27/79 I didn’t join the 91X/Mighty 690 family for mornings and programming until January of 1980 So apparently we just missed each other I don’t recall ever hearing that Art Bell was a music host before his start in talk radio So this all seems rather mysterious” – Ted Ziegenbusch KOST 1035 Memories of Art Bell “Back in the late 80s I had a friend who lived in Las Vegas and he would tell me about this late-night radio personality Art Bell He told me he was on KDWN a 50000 watt clear channel station so I could probably hear it in Los Angeles I think this was the pre-syndication days as the show was more political in nature had a hometown feel but still touched upon the UFO stuff from time to time If the weather was clear I could pick the station up just fine and would listen to various guests telling their tales of alien abduction throughout the wee hours of the morning At that time Art was playing some interesting bumper music and a few tunes came to mind that I thought he would like I put them on a cassette on my next visit to see my friend we wandered up to the Union Plaza Hotel which was the home of KDWN and made our way up the stairs to the studio We were told Art hadn’t arrived yet which surprised us because it was pretty close to airtime but the receptionists said she would give him the cassette so we headed out the door On our way back downstairs we passed Art rushing up to the studio He was real We saw him! Back at my friend’s house we were drinking beer and listening to the radio Unbeknownst to me he dialed the station in hopes of talking to Art After a while he had to relieve himself so he tossed me the phone and said ‘hang on to this for a second’ Before heading to the john he cranked up the volume as far as it would go I sat there holding the receiver to my ear and with the radio blasting I think I barely hear someone say ‘you’re on the air’ I said ‘I’m sorry what’ and then Art went ballistic shouting ‘HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU PEOPLE TO TURN DOWN YOUR RADIOS!!’ Then I heard the phone go CLICK and he hung up Seven seconds later my friend exists the bathroom to hear Art shouting at me over the air and he yells at me ‘I was on hold for 45 minutes and the second I go to the bathroom he takes my call’ Several years later I was listening in LA and heard my friend on the air with Art so at least he finally got through Oh and about those songs I dropped off for bumper-music one was by violinist Jean-Luc Ponty and the other by a group named Shadowfax Art used them for years on the air” – Gary Gibson Montrose Is KLOS Sound “I note that even with EMF removing 1003 as a competitor KLOS’ ratings are flat In my not-so-humble opinion this should be sending a message to Cumulus that they aren’t doing Classic Rock properly for the market Their ‘brand’ of the format apparently appeals to zero percent of The Sound’s former audience I bet they’re all listening to Sky Daniels’ well-executed AAA format on KCSN” – KM Richards Radio Ink Article Praising KABC PD “Good job Drew Hayes! While KFI saw a ratings bump in March to 42 you have been successful in keeping KABC on a steady course in 37th place with 05 It must not be easy maintaining that coveted 37th place spot but somehow you have managed to do it Could it be the ‘compelling’ programming such as evening reruns of morning shows during the week Or is it the weekends packed with infomercials while KFI has actual weekend hosts that do real radio shows like Bill Handel The Fork Report Leo Laporte Mo Kelly Bryan Suits Dr Wendy Walshand the list goes on But don’t let KFI’s success distract you from your focus on remaining 37 It’s good to be goal oriented like that I have been so stupid and I apologize Now I realize why you run so many retirement seminar commercials It’s symbolic for the number of listeners that have chosen to ‘retire’ from listening to KABC By the way I don’t know if you ever listen to your own station but Dr Drew and Lauren Sivan have ZERO on-air chemistry and Ms Sivan seems disengaged from the show a good portion of the time I’m sure she’s a very nice very intelligent person but she certainly doesn’t pair well with Dr Drew And I’m sure I’m not the first person you’ve heard that from Don’t forget to have some promotional T-Shirts produced that say ‘We’re Number 37!’ Say it loud — say it proud!” – Peter Thomas Paraquat Kelley Sets Up GoFundMe Account for His Wife April 20 2018 Carl Swanson checked in from Washington DC where he is an engineer for the Voice of America Carl used to work at WW1 KFI KMPC and KCRW “This may be more appropriate for Email Saturday but have you heard anything new from Pat Paraquat Kelley and his wife” asked Carl “I saw and contributed to his notcrippledinside campaign and saw a few posts but now he’s gone quiet The announcement you published about his total disability and the back link to his initial diagnosis 12 years prior shared the sh!t out of me because I was given the same diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis 14 months ago after a series of 6 seizures in 4 months one of which landed me in the hospital for more than a week and off work for almost a year “It’s frightening to think I’m probably riding the same train he is but I am really wanting to know if he’s still fighting the good fight” emailed Carl “Thanks to a good federal employee health plan I have drugs that hopefully slow progression and I don’t need to pay 89000/year for it” In reaching out to Paraquat he responded immediately and the timing could not have been better because a GoFundMe account has just been established “Carl’s lucky he has relapsing remitting MS I have progressive MS the worst and rarest form It’s a drag for sure but I have Melody to help me through The GoFundMe account is to help her so that when I’m gone she’ll have something to help her” Carl passed on a message to Paraquat: “Tell him there’s one brother in the struggle pulling for him” Hear Ache April 19 2018 Former KNX/KFWBer Bob McCormick was visiting his parents in Detroit this week Take a look at the snow on the patio of his parents’ home Bob is reading Charlie Seraphin’s ex-general manager at KNXfm/KODJ book One Stupid Mistake “Short and full of great stories of how one false move or word and your goose could be hooked” said Bob … Congratulations to former KTWV personality Sandy Kelley as she celebrates 19 years of marriage … Forbes magazine has a story on how to turn iHeartMedia around with sage advice to the new owners The first piece of advice is to bring in real radio people to run the company It needs smart experienced radio people at the controls Get rid of the financial whizz-bangers who leveraged the company up to its eyeballs in debt and brought about its collapse Lesson learned Another suggestion: Do radio just radio and do it right Done right radio alone can be very profitable Sell off the other businesses that don’t directly support radio such as Clear Channel Outdoor Those businesses were acquired and at huge cost with the idea of creating cross-media synergies Bad idea bad execution loads of problems best forgotten Program for listeners only listeners Early radio had the right idea Entertain your listeners … Nicole Sandler saw her oncologist and got the good news that her scans are clean “Cancer free” are nice words to hear … NBC’s The Voice was No 1 for Monday night besting ABC’s American Idol by 31 in 18-49 Jim Ladd Returns on Monday April 18 2018 “The Jim Ladd Show returns from High in the Hollywood Hills” was how Jim announced on Facebook his Monday return to SiriusXM Deep Tracks Channel 27 He had been absent from the satellite service for a number of weeks “Let’s Get Loud!

original host of “Coast to Coast AM” heard locally on KFI had died on Friday the 13th He was 72 No matter what you might have thought about what Art talked about – and that included the paranormal abstract conspiracies and the world of UFOs – Art was a radio original Broadcasting from a double-wide trailer in the Nevada desert for more than two decades Art talked to his listeners in the middle of the night about their stories of alien abductions crop circles anthrax scares and as he put it all things “seen at the edge of vision” While serving in the US Air Force in the Vietnam War Art indulged his childhood passion for radio by operating a pirate station that played anti-war music otherwise unavailable on official channels broadcast to American servicemen Following his time in the service Art’s love of radio led him to working as a disc jockey for an English-language station in Japan Over there he set a Guinness World Record for broadcasting some 116 hours straight to raise funds to rescue over 100 Vietnamese orphans left stranded by the conflict in their home country Back in the states Art started his radio journey doing overnights on KDWN in Las Vegas Syndicated nationally in 1993 Coast to Coast AM became a phenomenon He frequently would end up on the yearly list of Best LARP Art drew an audience of about 10 million listeners a week when his show was syndicated on as many as 500 stations He believed in possibilities and he loved the idea that his openness to paranormal events had helped build the nation’s appetite for Twin Peaks The X-Files and other expressions of the edges of reality Born June 17 1945 in Jacksonville NC Art grew up with a seven-transistor AM radio tucked under his pillow at night When he was supposed to be sleeping Art listened instead to the pioneers of talk radio as they batted around alternative ideas about who really killed John F Kennedy or how the CIA controlled people’s minds His nightly “Coast to Coast” show ran from 1989 to 2003 then he continued broadcasting on weekends until 2007 Art briefly returned with a satellite radio show in 2013 and an online program in 2015 That show ended after a few months because Mr Bell said someone had taken to firing a weapon at his Nevada property Art was married four times At the time of his death he was married to Airyn Ruiz whom he met when she befriended him online after the death of his previous wife Ruiz was then 22 and living in the Philippines Bell was inducted into the Nevada Broadcasters Association Hall of Fame in 2006 and the National Radio Hall

Sunday Nostalgia – 12 Years Ago Today An Open Memo to Phil Hendrie May 6 2006 Memo to: Phil Hendrie From: Don Barrett It is indeed a sad day to know that you are leaving radio for the lure of television You aren’t the first to make the move Many other LARP made it successfully on a national basis You have a tail wind of talent in front of you Bob Eubanks the KRLA Top 40 jock who brought the Beatles to Southern California was the long-time host of the enormously popular Newlywed Game Wink Martindale dovetailed high profile radio jobs at KHJ KFWB KRLA and KMPC into a series of game show hosting that numbers well over 20 As far as drama one only has to follow David Hall’s journey from KNX/fm to pd at KKHR to coroner on the enormously successful original CSI In a sitcom success KNX morning man Bob Crane starred in Hogan’s Heroes We have followed your journey with the mercurial attempts with network pilots and then reveled in your success when NBC green lighted the sitcom that debuted earlier this year Teachers Network and production execs have convinced you that your future rests in television We’ve heard you on animated projects like King of the Hill and Futurama But we will miss you It’s not just you that we’ll miss but all of your alter egos Will Bobbie Dooley ever leave her gated community And what about your on-going feud with Combover Boy aka Tom Leykis Hopefully you will find a public home for Doug Dannger Vernon Dozier Ted Bell RC Collins and Margaret Gray When you weren’t talking with one of your character friends you were very self-revealing about the elections the war and your marriage difficulties We shared your wedding to radio royalty Maria Sanchez and you became an instant father to four Your 1997 marriage on the Queen Mary was officiated by Bill Handel and broadcast live on KFI During the last year you have shared the difficulties in your marriage and eventual separation We met on the phone in 1993 when you were working in Florida I was working on the first edition of Los Angeles Radio People You described your show but I never understood it until you returned to the Southland You left that first conversation with the declaration: “I’m doing one of the most creative talk shows in America featuring character voices and interactive improv comedy If you hear anyone else doing it they stole it from me” In 1996 you returned to KFI and gads it was like a firestorm of publicity buzz and fascination If indeed there was anything like water cooler talk you would have dominated the conversation It was not only the fascination of how you could talk to yourself but it was the choice of topics that seemed like they were pulled right out of the headlines of the day’s news Daily you were on your game for many years Celebrities lined up to get a prized invitation to watch you work You shared your “secrets” at the Museum of TV amp Radio in front of a SRO audience At industry conventions you were the star Your peer group gathered around you like you were a rock star You and I don’t communicate In the beginning you praised my work but something happened You requested or maybe it was demanded that I never mention your name again at LARadiocom Request denied You would have missed out on all the 1st place finishes in the yearly peer voting for the Best LARP of the Year You would have missed out on all the stories and email that praised your work When KFI decided to set you loose and you moved over to KLAC and your syndicated show bounced between LA Lakers games it seemed like all the energy had been sucked out of you The show never seemed the same Instead of consistency the show would spurt Too many repeats and Best Of shows were aired But even when you phoned it in it was unique programming But it was time to move on You’ve done it all You have nothing more to prove Your place in LARadio history is secure – make that the entire radio industry You have forever made an indelible mark as one of

about thought-provoking The ‘Oldie not an Oldie’ question really made me think To me an Oldie is from the 50’s and 60’s Of course growing up in the 60’s I listened to everything from Big Band to Marty Robbins and the Monkees And it helped to have KMPC on the dial along with Boss Radio KFWB and KRLA So the 70’s never sounded old to me Now when you listen to K-EARTH I don’t think they play anything other than a Beatle song or Led Zeppelin from the 60’s or 70’s I think maybe we had it better as far as diversity From recitation songs to ‘flying records’ to Broadway/Movie soundtracks as long as it was good or even interesting Top 40 played it Even now JACK/fm will slip in the album version of One Night In Bangkok next to Foster the People or Def Leppard – that’s a mix! Hopefully the Clear Channels and iHeart Radios will allow space in their stations for crossover talent/music that has that relevance or hook And stop eating their own just to eliminate competition” – Julie Byers When Is an Oldie Not an Oldie “Answer: When radio started to believe that its mission was to program stringently bordered ‘categories’ to one-dimensional listeners instead of ‘music memories emotions’ ‘information/history” and “entertainment” to complex human beings The lack of such artists as Chuck Berry Little Richard Buddy Holly Elvis Presley countless Motown acts and so many more from today’s terrestrial radio consciousness is an embarrassment Don’t get me wrong I am a devote futurist But if you don’t know where you are coming from it sure limits your understanding of the road ahead” – Michael Harrison TALKERS Real Oldies “I really enjoyed reading Monday’s column on the Oldies When I was in my teens Oldies meant songs from the 1930’s and 40’s The Big Band era and songs popular during World War II were not mentioned in your missive I was not around during that time but I do remember songs such as In the Mood or Tuxedo Junction by Glenn Miller Other big bands included Count Basie and Artie Shaw Since I grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area I still remember KSFO and KNBR playing the Oldies I mentioned above Do very many people remember Frank Dill or Don Sherwood I believe that your discussion on what makes an Oldie an Oldie is valid If my parents were still around they may have a different point of view about what constitutes an Oldie Keep up the good work If you ever get to the end of your rope tie a knot and hang on!” – Sterrett Harper Burbank Joe Benson’s New Assignment “Yes we are all fans of Uncle Joe” – Karen Martin Florence amp Normandy “YEAAA for Joe Benson!

said Uncle Joe Joe had a long tenure as host of Westwood One’s weekly “Off the Record” and many of his interviews stories and videos will be part of “Ultimate Classic Rock” program “I know all the elements I know all the songs I can tell my stories I’ve been doing for years I’ll be able to do the features I’ve done for years There will probably be a 1010 a story on ‘this day in history’ and various other features that will allow me to tell stories” Joe said by phone yesterdayGrowing up in the Midwest Joe would frequently just go out to his garage with his buddies and hang out He took that same concept in chatting with some of the biggest names in the music business “We opened up Uncle Joe’s Garage and started shooting videos during the interviews At least 5000 people view the interviews each week some weeks as many as 80000 I just love having fun with people” It was a matter of great timing for Joe and his boss Kurt Johnson a big dj in the 70s and early 80s at Townsquare “It took a couple of months to sort out the situation with Entercom and CBS and Townsquare was looking to make a change with the ‘Ultimate Classic Rock’ program I already knew how to do syndication since ‘Off the Record’ has been going for twenty years” The AOR legend proudly talked about his kids His daughter is graduating from the University of the Pacific “She’s a performance bassoonist and

thoughts about radio that he shared on Facebook: “I just listened to a couple of commercial radio stations this morning for the 1st time in years It’s easy to see why terrestrial radio is dying If you

at Power 106 and now at the same slot at AMP Radio at an SCBA function at Disneyland Her energy was undeniable as she met guests from the theme park and signed autographs She has an incredible personal life raising six adopted kids LA Weekly published a 2015 story about Yesi by Rebecca Haithcoat Here are some highlights: As a child Yesi Ortiz was so shy that she would opt for an F rather than speak in front of the class “I always felt like I was an outsider I used to talk to myself — I still do!” says the petite bubbly Ortiz bursting into laughter and wrapping her hands around a steaming cup of spiced apple tea one brisk evening But her most impressive title might be “Mom” In addition to her duties on air she juggles being an adoptive mother to six kids “I’m very successful because of the drama in my life” says Ortiz Her lips are curved into a perma-smile “There’s no time to have a pity party” Born in San Clemente to Mexican immigrants who spoke little English and divorced when she was a baby Ortiz had difficulty making friends The town was predominantly white yet she was one of a handful of Latinos taking ESL classes To make blending in trickier Ortiz and her mother stepfather and sister all lived in a single room they rented in someone’s apartment Adrift after graduating high school in the late 1990s Ortiz was listening to Power 106 and heard a commercial advertising the Academy of Radio and Television Broadcasting She and her mother had a stormy relationship but watching her mom learn English by singing along to the radio was its one sunny spot So she signed up and in less than six months had landed a gig as the “Latin Diva” at a new station in Las Vegas Her career was taking off but there was trouble at home Six of her sister’s children had been taken into foster care Ortiz found a radio job in San Diego but the station was located in Tijuana Having spent a good chunk of her savings on hiring a lawyer to fight for the kids she moved into a cheap apartment in TJ and survived on peanut butter–and-jelly sandwiches Her perseverance paid off — within two years she had become the 25-year-old foster mother of three boys and three girls all of whom she later adopted She has appeared on the popular VH1 show Love amp Hip-Hop but the fame hasn’t gone to her head — her kids are a built-in equalizer “They don’t care that I was just on air with JLo” Ortiz says hopping into her mom van “They just want to know what’s for dinner” Read the entire story by clicking Yesi’s photo provided by Ryan Orange Two LARPs on the TIME 100 Most Influential

Maybe April 30 2018 While preparing this column on “what defines an Oldie” I had SiriusXM on my radio Their 60s channel was counting down the big hits of January 1960 A shorthand look at the 50s would probably include Chuck Berry Elvis Presley and Fats Domino while the 60s split between the Beach Boys The Beatles and Motown And then there was everything in between Included in the January 1960 countdown was Scarlett Ribbons by the Browns Uh Oh Part Two by the Nutty Squirrels and the Village of St Bernadette by Andy Williams Would you consider any of these three songs hits representative of the era Hardly but there they were in the Top 20 of that chart Trying to answer the question of when an Oldie was no longer considered Oldies is prompted by an earlier question from Rich Brother Robbin proprietor of RichBroRadio on the Internet His site plays primarily the hits from the 50s and 60s He asked if the cutoff for the Top 40 era is earlier or even later Gary Lane thinks the cutoff year was 1963 “You know it’s kind of funny Tom Clay Pat Michaels and I were talking about this years ago at KWIZ in Santa Ana” emailed Gary Dodger Steve believes a true Oldie stands the test of time and can get people moving and grooving whenever and where it’s played The Disco era signaled the end of Oldies for Bob Scott “If I had to pick a year I would say 1973” “My short answer is that there is no answer” emailed Lane Quigley longtime host on RockItRadionet “Music is in a constant state of evolution Even on those rare occasions when there seemed to be a ‘big bang’ eg Beatles / Rock Around The Clock that music evolved from all that came before” Quigley continued: “You will recall that when I was doing my Memory Lane Show on KUSC in the 70’s we played ‘pre-Beatle Oldies’ That was a convenient delineation of the end of the first era of rock amp roll mainly because it seemed to generate interest in music to a younger audience than what came before It was probably the last such clear delineation Over time I think the term Oldies has come to represent Rock music through the end of the 60’s Most folks will always think the music of their school years was the best but the term ‘Oldie’ does not generally seem to be applied to music from the 70’s and beyond” “I think that the British invasion and influence from bands like the Grass Roots Paul Revere and the Raiders Gary Lewis and the Playboys Credence Clearwater etc all contributed to making some of the late 50’s and early 60’s music sound really old” emailed Craig Roberts “Many of those 60’s songs played well up to the mid 70’s then of course the ‘New Wave’ sound of the 80’s made those records sound old Time marches on and so does music” “First while as a convenience I keep my favorite Oldies 50s-and-60s in a single sub-directoryin reality I consider 1968 as an end of Oldies” wrote Chime Hart of Sherman Oaks “The music of ‘69 was much less enjoyable especially among slower records along with Progressive Rock invading While there are some songs from each year which I enjoy it does seem to go in cycles Just as a lull in 1960 1970 was not so good but 1961 and 1971 had lots of material I purchased As for early Oldies stations my friend up in Oakland says KWIZ went Oldies on January 7 1965” Personally I’m a big fan of 50s and 60s music because it is in my wheelhouse when I went to school Memories are usually associated with a period of first-discoveries in relationships When Rich first posed the question I thought back to 1968 I was national program director for Gordon McLendon based in Dallas We were invited to an Iron Butterfly concert After 15 minutes of In Gadda Da Vida I turned to my wife and said “The music has now passed me by” Thanks to those who participated Rock on … My buddy with the blast furnace energy Rich Brother Robbin gets the last word: My view is that “Top 40” and “Oldies” are different formats Top 40 is the 40 most popular songs as determined by the best research we could get on any given week Oldies is totally different from Top 40 and is far more subjective When the Oldies format really caught fire in the mid-70’s through early 80’s we literally threw in the kitchen sink For example we played El Paso by Marty Robbins “hey it was number one for the entire year in 1960” or even more odd Bobby Vinton’s There I’ve Said it Again a chart-topper in 1964 that eclipsed a whole gob of super-smash Beatles songs just because it was number one We quickly discovered the MOR Country and fringy novelty stuff didn’t synergize with the rest of the playlist of pop hits and artists We realized playing Oldies was more about the sonic compatibility of songs versus their chart position Should There I Said it Again get more airplay than I Want to Hold Your Hand just because the former charted higher the year of release Of course not We discovered it was more about “fit” though what “fits” and “doesn’t fit” is subjective We learned stations which kept the music poppin’ offering three or four up-tempo tunes for every ballad or “slower” song got better and better audiences Music research entered into programming then there was good ol’ Bill “less songs bigger hits more often” Drake making changes at KRTH cutting the playlist to 300 – 400 selections and the ratings soared Instead of old stodgy numbers or silly Country bullshit Oldies stations playing more up-tempo songs and knock-your-head off ballads like the Righteous Brothers had greater success So am guessin’ my answer to the question is it’s about music from an era that match sonically The real question is which songs fit together Starting from Elvis there’s the Beatles Beach Boys Everly Brothers Chuck Berry good ol’ American pop from the late 50’s and 60’s Motown more of the British Invasion and so on probably through a year or two after the Beatles’ break-up in 1969 In the end the Oldies format is the Oldies format but it’s jus not that black-and-white We have mainstream Oldies mellow Oldies rock Oldies poppy wimpy Oldies sickening or romantic depending on your disposition and gender sappy ballads and on and on They’re ALL Oldies! So Oldies is like ice cream We all know what it is but the hook is coming up with the most popular flavors for the folks livin’ around your particular ice cream stand!

game…and the Dan would say Datsoon” Miller also told another story on Avey Dan sent an audtion package to KFI to get hired He had been working in Spokane “Dan got the rudest letter from the program

jobs The media industry is no different than any other business in this respect At the same time along with difficult choices we continue to make progress We have introduced and created a host of resources that help us: make better decisions serve our customers and audiences more effectively and lower our cost of doing business These resources are crucial to the future health and growth of Clear Channel Radio While we remain optimistic about our business economic conditions continue to be challenging It is up to all of us ‘from senior management to the front lines’ to continue to improve our competitive position We must deliver the highest value to our audiences and our advertisers while doing everything we can to help drive revenues We can all be proud that Clear Channel Radio outperformed all other radio companies in the first quarter this year It’s imperative that we remain focused on maintaining this lead as we hopefully move closer to a market recovery This is the time for creative thinking about better ways to engage our audiences This is the time to find new ways to bring more value to our marketing partners and advertisers This is the time to make smart decisions about resources costs and investments We see enormous long-term opportunity in our business if we continue to do the right things to make our company better and even more competitive I thank you for your hard work and dedication and look forward to working with you to realize that success John Hogan Email Saturday 42818 Condition of Scott St James “Omg Sorry for poor Scott St James Life can be so cruel” – Fred Wallin Gershan a Godsend “Thanks to Kevin Gershan for the update on Scott St James I’m a longtime follower of LARadio and longtime fan of Scott I never met Scott so a visit may not be appropriate But please pass on to him and his family that he touched many lives in his long career This touches me deeply as my father passed away on 7/28/16 of this terrible disease which can so cruelly rob one of their dignity Thank you for you have been doing as it’s a great blessing to Scott to have someone like you at his side” – Al Prado Appreciate of Update “Our hearts are with Scott

Loved listening to the Jammer” – Christopher A Bury Attorney at Law Prayers for St James “Both Chuck and I knew Scott St James in the ‘old days’ I’m grateful for Kevin Gershan’s update even if it’s not the news we’d like to receive The Scott we knew lives on in our hearts and the one struggling with Alzheimer’s remains a beloved child of the universe We hold him in our prayers” – Lisa Bowman Wick to Gershan “I do not know Scott St James personally I am just one of his many fans I used to enjoy seeing him on television and I remember his blog His personality was larger than life and it must be so very painful to see Scott in his current condition I wish medical science could ease his condition and return him to the vibrant person he was before Alzheimer’s took hold Scott is certainly fortunate to have friends like you in his life” – Mike Wick Where are The Sound Listeners “I am a longtime reader of LA Radio and your question of where listeners are going after The Sound went off the air was a really great article I will tell you this My wife and I are in our 50’s We used to listen to KMET KLOS and up to recently The Sound and since The Sound is off the air we have gravitated to 885 KCSN/KBSR Why The music We love all the eclectic stuff that 885 plays We get tired of the same 20 songs that KLOS plays now GNR’s Welcome to the Jungle comes to mind In fact this station is so good our 17-year-old daughter and her friends listen to it as well We don’t care for the promotions Never have never will Just play the music Old stuff we haven’t heard in ages Not the same 20 songs like Born to Run Old Time Rock and Roll Rock and Roll All Night etc “The Sound used to do that before they decided to mimic KLOS” – Ruben Gonzalez Lake Forest Hats Off to Larry “Thank you for the great look back at Larry Van Nuys – his twitter feed alone shows how relevant he still is! I remember not only Help Thy Neighbor but his work on the Arthritis Telethons with Jane Wyman Such a distinctive voice! His and the reliable coverage of earthquakes by KNX have always been been a source of comfort when those horrid things wake you up Many a time I’ve stayed up after my mom and sister have gone back to sleep and listened to the news anchors talk us through the hours after a shaker That’s why radio is still important When everything else is going wrong radio gets us through it” – Julie Byers More Hats Off to Larry “I loved the article about Larry Van Nuys He is part of the roster of talent with my company The Promo Guys promoguystv He is such an amazing talent whom I have much respect for And that voice!” – Craig Roberts Memories of Roger Collins “Great job on the remembrance article about my wonderful friend Roger Collins One doesn’t get to know a person like he was too often in their lifetime This one is going to sting for a very long time Thank you for taking the time to help me get through this Seeing it in print still doesn’t seem real” – Jeffrey Leonard Smooth Calming Voice “As a listener my memories of Roger Collins at KFI and Russ Carlton with news – when working out at the Simi drive-in swap meet Later at KUTE 102/Quiet Storm which I listened to frequently he did weekend mornings and if my memory serves me had a turn as morning drive for a bit A smooth calming voice I made an air check of Roger and Tom King from KUTE May ‘87” – Greg Wood Pitts Memory “Belatedly I recall working with Don Pitts in the late ‘80s when he was the ‘voice man’ at the Charles Stern Talent Agency A client Casey Kasem recommended me to be signed at Stern I was all set in 1989 to tutor with great game show announcer Jay Stewart Let’s Make a Deal when I learned that Jay had committed suicide Blam! Don was super but the Stern signing produced ‘zero’” – Larry McKay Last of Originators of American Top 40 Dies April 27 2018 Don Bustany died this week He was one of the last of the four original creators of the iconic American Top 40 “He was family to us and we got to spend time with him last weekend before he passed We got to talk and laugh and hug each other one last time” said Kerri Kasem daughter of Casey Kasem “Now he’s with his beloved wife Judy and my dad along with countless friends” He was 90 For those familiar with the recording of Casey’s outtakes from a recording session that have been widely circulated Don is forever immortalized in the phrase Get Don on the phone! Bustany had tv credits in addition to radio and shared Casey’s activism in support of the Arab community In the 1970s and ’80s Bustany was the camera coordinator and a director of The Bob Newhart Show and Mary Tyler Moore He also served as the technical coordinator on several other television programs Keep your feet on the ground and keep reaching for the stars Great news from Michigan Art Vuolo radio’s best friend is the recipient of this year’s TALKERS Lifetime Achievement Award Well deserved With Art’s expertise a permanent exhibit on the history of the disc jockey is being prepared for museum of Broadcast Communications in Chicago … Mary Beth Garber is now a published author “My first audiobook narration release is a heartfelt novel by Ann Meeropol Kinship of Clover It is available on Audible and Amazon … Fun tv news series on 1986 radio in Los Angeles Click radio link … Duane Eddy turned 80 this week Gads remember Rebel Rouser That twangy guitar was new to rock ’n’roll It came from Country … Good luck to Joel Denver for his AllAccess Worldwide Radio Summit 2018 next week Class guy makes class event!

Ridiculous and shameful for the industry” Sky proclaimed Criticism of the ratings industry is nothing new Unless you are 1 everyone seems to have concern over their accuracy “We have seen our online listening increase by 40” wrote Daniels “Social media postings reaching 2 million impressions and our current pledge drive is breaking all records including the week that Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers were playing our first benefit which made history in the radio annals” Sky knows firsthand the seduction of striving to be 1 “I know talking about ratings can always sound like sour grapes However having developed stations like the Loop where one out of every two Chicago teens apparently listened to my show my question back then was wondering what the other teens were listening to I too have been seduced by the nectar that is 1 in the ratings Non-comm offers hope to those who want a deeper less predictable radio experience Listeners deserve better radio” “Having a listener donate 100 in an ‘honor system’ is way more compelling than ‘cume’” continued Daniels “When it comes to ratings sadly very few broadcasters look at the big picture For example when KSCA jumped from 32 to FIRST with the morning host taking just FOUR meters and set them to “hear” his show Ironically did the industry collectively revolt that four meters could impact the LA book that dramatically No They focused on ‘he cheated’” The LA Times wrote: “Nielsen has been attempting to verify that individuals who participated in its sample audience panel were truly independent and did not have ties to any radio stations or radio personalities that were being measured The ratings agency said that it needed to ‘remove a household from the panel for not meeting our quality standards’ Radio industry insiders said such actions were unprecedented One person said the move marked the first time in more than a decade that the release of radio ratings in Los Angeles had been postponed due to such concerns” Mark Ramsey a leading audio thinker wrote: “One single household has this scale of impact In LA! So what’s really going on here”“The rumor in the radio industry is that this particular household had media ties and the usage recorded was significant enough to skew the overall ratings for the market” wrote Ramsey “Indeed how could it be otherwise Because if one household mattered so little to the overall results then why would Nielsen bother to hold back the ratings for the entire market in the first place The very withholding of the data implies that one household has the potential to skew the whole in a significant way” Ramsey went on: “Ponder that for a moment: One household in Los Angeles has the potential to meaningfully skew the ratings for America’s largest market! And if this one household can do that in LA then can’t any one household in any market do it any time What does this say about the validity of the metrics Why is one goofy household with outlandish listening habits be any more goofy than any other goofy household with outlandish listening simply because it is affiliated with a local media company” Turns out it was two households involved but still Meanwhile Sky will continue to champion new music by emerging musicians as well as veteran artists resulting in shout-outs from A-list rockers including Paul McCartney Ringo Starr Tom Petty Jackson Browne U2 and Bonnie Raitt Sting added his name to that list saluting “… the station’s format for providing much appreciated exposure to him and other musicians who have fallen out of favor with Top 40 and other commercial radio outlets” KJLH Ticket Giveaway Roger Collins Dies April 25 2018 Roger Collins veteran of KFI 1978-83 KUTE 1983-87 and KLIT 1989-90 passed away April 23 of colon cancer John Rook hired Roger at KFI as music director and assistant pd Roger was thrilled to be working with the All-Star staff that Rook had assembled Born Paul Lancaster in Winslow Arizona he started his radio career in 1963 in Winslow followed by jobs in Holbrook Arizona and Odessa Texas From 1971 until arriving in the Southland Roger worked in the Tucson market He was sports director of KGUN/TV pd of KTKT and KRQQ Roger was director of instruction at the Los Angeles Broadcasters School during much of the 80s He was also operations director of Breneman Radio Services and the Breneman Review After returning to Arizona Roger produced video workshops for school kids at Northern Arizona University and was a consultant to Native American education radio for the Navajo Nation He also programmed KAFF FM/AM KMGN/fm KVNA-FM/AM and KZGL/fm He went on to sales in Flagstaff“Roger had only been sick for a couple of months” emailed colleague Jeffrey Leonard “Roger called me back in late February to tell me that the cancer had just been discovered and he was getting treated He had an incredibly positive attitude having beaten prostate cancer 10 years ago The last text I received from him was on April 9th when he simply said ‘thanks for being a great friend’ All texts after that went unanswered Roger reminded me a lot of Mark Denis He was an extraordinarily spiritual person who never said anything bad about anyone ever Needless to say I am heartbroken Rest in peace Rog” Roger was among the couple of dozen or so pros who taught at Jimi Fox’s broadcast school Los Angeles Broadcasters aka The LAB remembered Randy West When I was hired Roger indoctrinated me to the format yes of course Jimi had it tightly formatted!

passing wrote Jeff Gehringer of the Astor Broadcast Group As a young radio intern with stars in his eyes in 1981 Roger would answer every question I had about the business Watching him work with the record promoters was a real education I’ll never forget when he heard a new record he loved he would start dancing in the office He loved radio and the amazing characters behind the mic This was the

Oldie April 23 2018 Rich Brother Robbin has been a friend since 1966 We share a love for Oldies music the kind of music made popular in the 50s and 60s We had the first full-time 24/7 live Oldies station in the country in Detroit at W4 in 1969 After his run on CHR/Oldies ran out he started his own radio station on the Internet at RichBroRadiocom We were talking about music recently when Rich posed a question that may be of fodder for you For those of you who still love Sam Cooke Fats Domino and Chuck Berry at what point in history did music change to something that doesn’t “fit” with what we know as “hardcore Oldies” When is a song no longer a legit Oldie something different than the stuff from the 70s “When / what is the general year / years when most of the songs changed enough to sonically stop fitting with the older stuff” asked Rich I came up with my own answer but thought I would share it after others have had an opportunity to also do so What do you think Don’t forget our email address has changed to: AvilaBeachdbgmailcom Nostalgia Sunday – 9 Years Ago Today Hats Off to Larry April 22 2009 You’d think Southern Californians would be used to earthquakes yet when the ground starts shaking many wary residents call in to their local radio stations perhaps as a catharsis to the unexpected Recently a listener to KNX could hear callers describe the latest seismic event whether it was a sharp jolt a brief rolling motion and for what duration But then there was something more The anchor briefly chatted with each caller – did anything fell off the kitchen shelves at the caller’s home Any jittery nerves from the aftershocks Was the caller a long-time local resident or was it a first experience with an earthquake Have a home emergency kit prepared It was just like talking to a caring neighbor only it was being broadcast on a 50000 watt radio station Then again when the news anchor once hosted a tv program called Help Thy Neighbor offering a personal touch to his listeners should be second nature for Larry Van Nuys When last interviewed by LARadiocom back in 1998 Larry said he’d decided to leave radio because of the precariousness of ongoing format changes “After a many years in radio and television I made the successful transition to a very lucrative career as a voice talent every day doing promos commercials and trailers much of it out of my home studio” said Larry There was really no pressing reason for him to return to radio Yet there was something missing “After ten or so years I missed the interaction with friends and co-workers I had been doing some fill-in news anchoring at Arrow 93 in morning drive When it made the switch to JACK/fm I called Ed Pyle KNX news director and told him I missed the excitement and challenges of radio He was so kind and generous and invited me to audition” Larry got the job as a weekend and fill-in anchor on the all-news station “In hiring me Ed gave me the opportunity to enter one of the most productive and satisfying chapters in this road many of us travel It has reawakened all the feelings of excitement that brought me into broadcasting in the first place” Larry also thanked former KNX gm David G Hall who put Larry in his current 7 pm to midnight news anchor duties each weeknight “Although it sounds cliché I wake up in the morning now and can’t wait to get to work It reminded me that what we do is meaningful…and fun!” Born in Providence Rhode Island Larry later moved to the Southland where he attended Los Angeles High School He recalls how important radio was from his earliest years “Radio was always a big part of my life As a youngster I listened to all the radio serial shows I remember sending away for a decoder ring so I could decode secret messages I waited for what seemed like months and then the excitement of going to the mailbox and seeing that little package … sitting there saying ‘OK big guy…now you’re in the in-crowd!’” Then it was Chuck Blore and KFWB Channel 98 on Larry’s radio dial “I always treasure the fact that later in life I actually got a chance to be directed for some spots by the architect of Color Radio Chuck Blore Larry also listened to KHJ as “Boss Radio and all the other iterations of modern radio flowed out of all our speakers day and night as I grew up” How did Larry first get interested in pursuing his own radio career “While the other kids were playing baseball I was playing dj using a wooden spoon for my microphone I actually ripped off all the labels of my mother’s canned food and pretended they were earphones For months she never knew what she was opening for dinner … she still kids me about that” Eventually Larry’s parents purchased him a Webcor tape recorder “and I was off to the races” His first job was at Saul Levine’s fm jazz station KBCA “I’ll always be grateful to Saul who gave me my first chance to do what I always dreamed of” Back then Larry’s audience was a bit limited “To even hear fm you had to have a special under-dash radio or if you really had some bucks you had a Blaupunkt installed in your car We didn’t have a lot of listeners or commercials … but I was finally a dj! My dear grandparents who would really be more comfortable with Montovani listened every night because they loved and were proud of me They could tell you the difference between Thelonius Monk and Chet Baker…bless their souls” Larry’s grandparents listened to their grandson at every opportunity “too bad we didn’t have the PPM’s in those years” Larry then traveled to KXO in El Centro doing just about everything at the station from powering up the transmitter to helping with janitorial duties “One of the proudest tasks I was assigned at KXO was to bring in the Richfield Reporter on Sunday nights which was fed from KNX in Los Angeles It was so exciting to be involved with a major market giant like that I never dreamed that I would ever get to actually work there What a trip it is to even remember the awe I felt and still feel for the station” One of Larry’s first stops in Los Angeles was KGFJ “I worked there with Hunter Hancock Rosko Bill Mercer and Larry McCormick et al On the day I auditioned I went into the studio to cut a demo and when I came out no one was around I found everyone gathered around a tv in a back office I asked what’s going on ‘Someone said the President’s been shot’ I actually remember saying ‘the President of what’ That was the day JFK was shot and killed I guess this falls into ‘Everyone remembers where they were that day’” Though Larry worked at other local stations including powerhouses such as KFI KMPC and KABC he is often best remembered from his days as the midday host on San Fernando’s KGIL “It was the best of times…this little low power teapot in the Valley was actually competing with the big 50000 watt giant KMPC In those days we chose our own music” KGIL did what it could to make itself visible “I sat in a broadcast trailer on the weekends doing remotes I think I opened every Taco Bell in the Valley One remote that still makes me smile is when I MC’d the opening of a new traffic light in Encino But I loved it!” The station also invited listeners to vicariously share with the KGIL family LA Times ad promoting Larry in the late 1960s “We did live reports from our wedding I did a remote from the hospital when my daughter was born I put together a one hour montage of music to reflect how happy I felt that day and the listeners were part of it” Larry’s colleagues at KGIL include many renowned personalities: “Sweet” Dick Whittington Tom Brown Wink Martindale and Paul Compton “all led brilliantly by Chuck Southcott” Larry fondly remembers when Paul Compton would offer the lyrical intro “we’re coming to the intersection of Compton and Van Nuys… Paul was an amazing and poetic man of great depth and character which came across on the air” “Larry had a great sense of the music His sense of the music was amazing Larry did some long shifts when he first started at KGIL doing 8-hour weekend and fill-ins yet he did a great job orchestrating his program over all that time” said Chuck Southcott Larry’s former colleague and program director Chuck chuckled as he told the story of the Studio City Christmas Parade for which Larry and Chuck served as emcees from an announcing booth “It was a terribly rainy day The grand marshal was Andy Griffith we went out with a mic and had him greet the crowd Then there were a number of female stars who were headed for the Queen Mary Larry went out in the street – in a pair of Gucci shoes – and talked to Carol Channing about what she was doing now a little bit about her career Why does Chuck always bring up the Guccis mused Larry There were other stars then Judy Garland appears Wait a minute we thought – Judy Garland is dead Turns out these starlets we interviewed were men dressed up as women female impersonators heading for a nightclub called the ‘Queen Mary’ not the ship in Long Beach It was a very strange night I shared with Larry” Of Larry’s current work Chuck said “he’s the best sounding news guy in town … he’s great on KNX” This series was researched and written by LARadiocom senior correspondent Alan Oda In part 2 of “Hats off to Larry” more tales from KGIL including the recollections of Dick Whittington Larry’s tv work including – of course – Help Thy Neighbor voiceover work with Aaron Spelling Productions serving the Arthritis Foundation and more about what he enjoys today doing Newsradio You can reach Larry Van Nuys at: larryvngmailcom Larry Van Nuys has been a familiar face on tv for decades and now evening anchor at KNX Newsradio LARadiocom senior correspondent Alan Oda talks with Larry about his career This is part two of our series Hats Off to Larry “Larry contributed many musically perfect shows at KGIL” said Dick Whittington Of Larry’s on-air persona “he’s was what Dr Phil would like to be Larry did it first on Channel 5 for many years” And Dick still tunes in to hear his former KGIL teammate “When Larry reads the news on KNX no matter how dire I always smile and say to myself: ‘Oh that couldn’t be happening that’s just ol’ ‘Lar’ going for another Edward R Murrow award” Van Nuys holding award from Arthritis organization for his two decade dedication in hosting annual telethon For his part Larry has his own story about the man once known as ‘Sweet Dick’ “He was finishing up his shift and called my wife Marsha and made it sound as though the call accidentally got on the air and said ‘well the jerk is going to be on the air for 5 hours so I’ll be over in about 20 minutes is there anything you want me to bring’ Marsha said without missing a beat ‘Kleenex’ Bill Smith late of KTLA who used to work with Dick in the morning still tells that story” Larry was also prominent on that other medium known as television “I had the good fortune to work at KTLA when Gene Autry owned it Given his stature and prominence globally it was amazing to watch him take the time to know everyone’s name on the lot and foster an environment that encouraged creative people to be their best” He recalls his days hosting the tv show Help Thy Neighbor “It was a live show that aired at 7:30 pm every night following Bowling for Dollars with Chick Hearn It was a show where people who needed some help would appear and the audience would call in with solutions It was live on the air I couldn’t possibly share all the amazing and emotional stories that played out on the air We found solutions for everything from people who needed a kidney to finding work for an unemployed elephant … I kid you not!” The show received national attention in publications including Newsweek Readers Digest and TV Guide as well as winning “a wheel barrow full” of prestigious awards Larry takes pleasure recalling his charity work during his years at KTLA “I co-hosted the national Arthritis Telethon for over 20 years often originating from the KTLA studios but also from other locales nationwide I would love to think that some of our efforts funded research that eased suffering or passed on information that alerted people of warning signs that helped them avoid years of chronic pain” His efforts on behalf of the Arthritis Foundation gave him the opportunity to work with many celebrities including the late Mayor of Hollywood Johnny Grant “One of the proudest moments for me was to be honored with the Arthritis Foundation’s Johnny Grant Humanitarian Award” said Larry Photo from mid-80s: Participants in early Arthritis Telethon include Victoria Principal Jane Wyman Larry and Marsha Van Nuys “I also hosted the forerunner to Wheel of Fortune called Guessword It was the same game Hangman but without the wheel and Vanna Also we didn’t give away trips to Europe or shiny new automobiles … it was more like dog food and hand towels It did however have the distinction of being maybe the only live game show in history” Larry would later become the voice of KTLA which led to other voiceover opportunities His game show hosting talents weren’t later wasted “Hosting Guessword helped me immensely when Dan Enright asked me to do the announcing for shows like Tic Tac Dough From there my skills grew and I found a whole new venue for my talent when Mike McLean an associate of Aaron Spelling hired me to voice his shows during the years he spent with ABC…Dynasty…The Love Boat…et al” But his voiceover career all started at KTLA “I will be forever grateful to Tony Cassara the gm of Channel 5 at the time He became the President of the Paramount Stations Group and opened up a whole new world of voiceover opportunities for me” Still it’s clear that Larry’s heart is still found behind a radio microphone “Radio is immediate intimate and ultimately a one on one relationship between you and someone who’s stuck in traffic at the workplace or streaming on the Internet in Timbuktu … it’s just the two of you” He describes the challenges of working at KNX “In News Radio it’s also vital and important work when people are concerned or fearful during an earthquake fire or an emergency when accurate information can be the difference between life and death I can’t begin to tell you how gratifying it feels to play a small but important part in that effort” Larry knows the challenges of providing information 24 hours a day Photo: An 11-year-old Larry Van Nuys as the ‘Borden’s Milkman’ with Kathy Godfrey sister of Arthur Godfrey KPHO-Phoenix “With the fast moving changing events around the world people have a hunger for news and all of us at KNX take that responsibility very seriously All the other broadcast disciplines are seductive in their own ways but they all have one thing in common – they are all about communicating they’re all about trying to identify your own truth and connecting with the people who are spending their valuable time with you” Hats Off to Larry Part 3 This morning is the final installment of our series on KNX Newsradio’s Larry Van Nuys This series was researched and written by Alan Oda LARadiocom senior correspondent Larry’s current boss KNX / KFWB director of news programming Andy Ludlum describes what Larry brings to the all-News operation: Larry is a warm and authentic communicator and I think that really comes through every time he turns on his mic There’s no question Larry truly enjoys being on the radio and the KNX 1070 Newsradio audience loves listening to him Would you like to see Larry delivering the news Here’s a 3-minute YouTube link: And it’s apparent that Larry is one veteran not content to sit on his laurels “My challenge is keeping it fresh and honest To make something that’s difficult look effortless It has taken me a lifetime to find my own voice in this business…and I’m still learning” He relates how he brings his experience honed on music formats to his all-news anchor duties at KNX “I think the trust that an audience has with you is a key element in the success of any broadcaster It takes years for an audience to really get to know you feel like a friend and for that trust to develop Also no matter what kind of radio you’re doing there needs to be an entertainment component Even with news I think your unique personality is a big part of the product and has a bearing on its ultimate success” Larry speaks with great appreciation and pride about his family “Much of my success can be linked to my wonderful family My wife Marsha has not only been my partner for 40 years but my number one groupie pal and lover She has been a fan from the very beginning and always been there to watch my back in the good times and the lean times I’m also so proud of my daughter Amanda She has taken her Vassar education and blossomed into a truly amazing young woman As I’ve told her if there is such a thing as reincarnation I would love to come back as one of her children She is now a marketing executive at a major company in the Internet space” Larry Van Nuys eating crow after losing a 1980 Super Bowl bet with a Pittsburgh radio station The Rams lost to the Steelers 31 – 19 Larry humbly acknowledges his blessings from his on-air journey “We are all influenced by those who came before us For me Johnny Magnus was my hero…I wanted to be that great someday It still shocks me that I’ve had so many opportunities to know and work with some of the iconic figures in our business Sitting in for Ken amp Bob at KABC … Dick Whittinghill and Robert W Morgan at KMPC … following Lohman and Barkley at KFI These are the people I grew up admiring These are the people that remind me that excellence isn’t achieved without hard work and a love and respect for the audience Again how wonderful it is when you get to do what you love … I still have the passion” You can reach Larry at: larryvngmailcom Email Saturday 42118 Times Moving “Great seeing the photo of Bob McCormick on today’s page He’s a guy I miss encountering at the station back in the day… and a couple times at Flair Cleaners in Burbank Hard to believe ‘back in the day’ is 12 years ago already” – Ed Pyle Hayes Played a Role “Thank you for reprinting the Johnny Hayes story Growing up I shared many of the same thoughts and excitement about radio that Johnny enjoyed to the point that I became a huge fan of KYA living in Palo Alto I wanted to attend college in SoCal partially because of the radio business Dreams became reality when Johnny gave me my first job in life at the wondrous KRLA in 1968! What a life experience My business path was set thanks to him” – Ann Beebe Remembering Johnny Hayes “Thank you for the LARadiocom Nostalgia Sunday piece on Johnny Hayes I wasn’t a regular KRLA listener during my younger days in the West Valley — KMPC was our regular station during my most impressionable listening years — but when listening alone with the dial at arm’s length I’ve rarely been able resist the impulse to tune the dial to see what else is on There are many ways for a radio station to capture my ears but among the rarest is the voice that I could just sit and listen to regardless of what he or she is saying The voice of Johnny Hayes was one of those voices as they say what a great set of pipes As a radio listener I would sometimes fantasize being a program director There were three disc jockeys I wanted for my imaginary station: Johnny Magnus Chuck Niles and Johnny Hayes each playing whatever he wanted as long as he talked between each record I’m glad to read more about the man with that voice And since I’m writing over the years I’ve really enjoyed LARadiocom which my dad from whom I must have received a radio-listener gene will still bring up pretty regularly when I speak with my folks of the phone Growing up we almost always had the radio on — Bob Crane Arthur Godfrey Denny Bracken etc – on KNX when I was a young boy I got my first radio around the 3rd grade first listening to KFI I think KNX was all-News by then I switched to KMPC not long after Lohman and Barkley came about — hey I was 9! — so I came of age with Dick Whittinghill Geoff Edwards Gary Owens Roger Carroll the news and sports crew and the Angels Yet as I said above I turn the dial a lot even as a 3-year-old quietly taking my ‘nap’ after watching Sheriff John in the den — it was really mom’s nap time — I would turn that dial to catch KFWB Channel 98 or the Spanish announcers and music on KWKW putting it back to KNX when nap time was over And I always read the radio columns in the papers Citizen-News Herald-Examiner the Times Calendar section So many of those names especially from the morning shift before school or work or the weekends of the non-commercial FM stations of various formats from the ‘60s 70s and ‘80s both AM and FM are part of my radio memories of the first half of my life living in LA So I thank you for sharing your labor of love with all of us” – Ad astra Reverend Steven P Tibbetts born in Hollywood playing in Peoria Lunch with Johnny Hayes “In-N-Out Burgers sponsored the Johnny Hayes Count Down on KRLA from the very start I can’t remember the number of years it lasted He did an outstanding job ad-libbing all the commercials never once off a prepared script Before the program went on the air we met with then In-N-Out president Rich Snyder later killed in a plane crash at John Wayne Airport who gave us a tour of the entire company followed by lunch in the back of one of the restaurants only drive thrus in those days You could listen to the show while you waited for your order in the car” – Tom Bernstein Memories of Art Bell “Art Bell and I were friends for almost 50 years and I am more than saddened by his death When we met I was stationed at Vandenberg AFB and Art recently out of the Air Force was a jock at KSEE in Santa Maria The first time we talked was of course over ham radio The last time we spoke at his house in Pahrump was predictably also a lot about ham radio Besides working together for a time at KDON in Salinas Art and I didn’t actually spend a lot of time together over those 50 years but we always kept in touch over the phone email or ham radio My wife Sheryl and I had made plans to stay with Art and his wife during our trip to Southeast Asia a few years ago when he was living in the Philippines but the timing didn’t work out as they were moving back to Pahrump about that time Art was not only a one-of-a-kind broadcaster but also a one-of-a-kind human being The person you heard on the air was not who Art was His show was just that Space ships ghosts and the paranormal were not part of his normal conversations That was reserved for his on-air persona You had to know him to see the silly compassionate overly-bright and animated person he was Art my friend I’m sure going to miss you” – Jerry Lewine The Art of 91X “George Junak a former co-worker of mine from my days at 91X in San Diego says Art Bell did a weekend show on 91X in 1979 using the air name Art Trey That’s something I have never heard before or seen in print anywhere According to George Junak Art Bell asked then consultant Frank Felix if he could use the name Trey Bell on the all-Music format but Felix told him no They settled instead for Art Trey Junak says he even has an old air check of Art’s show on 91X from 10/27/79 I didn’t join the 91X/Mighty 690 family for mornings and programming until January of 1980 So apparently we just missed each other I don’t recall ever hearing that Art Bell was a music host before his start in talk radio So this all seems rather mysterious” – Ted Ziegenbusch KOST 1035 Memories of Art Bell “Back in the late 80s I had a friend who lived in Las Vegas and he would tell me about this late-night radio personality Art Bell He told me he was on KDWN a 50000 watt clear channel station so I could probably hear it in Los Angeles I think this was the pre-syndication days as the show was more political in nature had a hometown feel but still touched upon the UFO stuff from time to time If the weather was clear I could pick the station up just fine and would listen to various guests telling their tales of alien abduction throughout the wee hours of the morning At that time Art was playing some interesting bumper music and a few tunes came to mind that I thought he would like I put them on a cassette on my next visit to see my friend we wandered up to the Union Plaza Hotel which was the home of KDWN and made our way up the stairs to the studio We were told Art hadn’t arrived yet which surprised us because it was pretty close to airtime but the receptionists said she would give him the cassette so we headed out the door On our way back downstairs we passed Art rushing up to the studio He was real We saw him! Back at my friend’s house we were drinking beer and listening to the radio Unbeknownst to me he dialed the station in hopes of talking to Art After a while he had to relieve himself so he tossed me the phone and said ‘hang on to this for a second’ Before heading to the john he cranked up the volume as far as it would go I sat there holding the receiver to my ear and with the radio blasting I think I barely hear someone say ‘you’re on the air’ I said ‘I’m sorry what’ and then Art went ballistic shouting ‘HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU PEOPLE TO TURN DOWN YOUR RADIOS!!’ Then I heard the phone go CLICK and he hung up Seven seconds later my friend exists the bathroom to hear Art shouting at me over the air and he yells at me ‘I was on hold for 45 minutes and the second I go to the bathroom he takes my call’ Several years later I was listening in LA and heard my friend on the air with Art so at least he finally got through Oh and about those songs I dropped off for bumper-music one was by violinist Jean-Luc Ponty and the other by a group named Shadowfax Art used them for years on the air” – Gary Gibson Montrose Is KLOS Sound “I note that even with EMF removing 1003 as a competitor KLOS’ ratings are flat In my not-so-humble opinion this should be sending a message to Cumulus that they aren’t doing Classic Rock properly for the market Their ‘brand’ of the format apparently appeals to zero percent of The Sound’s former audience I bet they’re all listening to Sky Daniels’ well-executed AAA format on KCSN” – KM Richards Radio Ink Article Praising KABC PD “Good job Drew Hayes! While KFI saw a ratings bump in March to 42 you have been successful in keeping KABC on a steady course in 37th place with 05 It must not be easy maintaining that coveted 37th place spot but somehow you have managed to do it Could it be the ‘compelling’ programming such as evening reruns of morning shows during the week Or is it the weekends packed with infomercials while KFI has actual weekend hosts that do real radio shows like Bill Handel The Fork Report Leo Laporte Mo Kelly Bryan Suits Dr Wendy Walshand the list goes on But don’t let KFI’s success distract you from your focus on remaining 37 It’s good to be goal oriented like that I have been so stupid and I apologize Now I realize why you run so many retirement seminar commercials It’s symbolic for the number of listeners that have chosen to ‘retire’ from listening to KABC By the way I don’t know if you ever listen to your own station but Dr Drew and Lauren Sivan have ZERO on-air chemistry and Ms Sivan seems disengaged from the show a good portion of the time I’m sure she’s a very nice very intelligent person but she certainly doesn’t pair well with Dr Drew And I’m sure I’m not the first person you’ve heard that from Don’t forget to have some promotional T-Shirts produced that say ‘We’re Number 37!’ Say it loud — say it proud!” – Peter Thomas Paraquat Kelley Sets Up GoFundMe Account for His Wife April 20 2018 Carl Swanson checked in from Washington DC where he is an engineer for the Voice of America Carl used to work at WW1 KFI KMPC and KCRW “This may be more appropriate for Email Saturday but have you heard anything new from Pat Paraquat Kelley and his wife” asked Carl “I saw and contributed to his notcrippledinside campaign and saw a few posts but now he’s gone quiet The announcement you published about his total disability and the back link to his initial diagnosis 12 years prior shared the sh!t out of me because I was given the same diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis 14 months ago after a series of 6 seizures in 4 months one of which landed me in the hospital for more than a week and off work for almost a year “It’s frightening to think I’m probably riding the same train he is but I am really wanting to know if he’s still fighting the good fight” emailed Carl “Thanks to a good federal employee health plan I have drugs that hopefully slow progression and I don’t need to pay 89000/year for it” In reaching out to Paraquat he responded immediately and the timing could not have been better because a GoFundMe account has just been established “Carl’s lucky he has relapsing remitting MS I have progressive MS the worst and rarest form It’s a drag for sure but I have Melody to help me through The GoFundMe account is to help her so that when I’m gone she’ll have something to help her” Carl passed on a message to Paraquat: “Tell him there’s one brother in the struggle pulling for him” Hear Ache April 19 2018 Former KNX/KFWBer Bob McCormick was visiting his parents in Detroit this week Take a look at the snow on the patio of his parents’ home Bob is reading Charlie Seraphin’s ex-general manager at KNXfm/KODJ book One Stupid Mistake “Short and full of great stories of how one false move or word and your goose could be hooked” said Bob … Congratulations to former KTWV personality Sandy Kelley as she celebrates 19 years of marriage … Forbes magazine has a story on how to turn iHeartMedia around with sage advice to the new owners The first piece of advice is to bring in real radio people to run the company It needs smart experienced radio people at the controls Get rid of the financial whizz-bangers who leveraged the company up to its eyeballs in debt and brought about its collapse Lesson learned Another suggestion: Do radio just radio and do it right Done right radio alone can be very profitable Sell off the other businesses that don’t directly support radio such as Clear Channel Outdoor Those businesses were acquired and at huge cost with the idea of creating cross-media synergies Bad idea bad execution loads of problems best forgotten Program for listeners only listeners Early radio had the right idea Entertain your listeners … Nicole Sandler saw her oncologist and got the good news that her scans are clean “Cancer free” are nice words to hear … NBC’s The Voice was No 1 for Monday night besting ABC’s American Idol by 31 in 18-49 Jim Ladd Returns on Monday April 18 2018 “The Jim Ladd Show returns from High in the Hollywood Hills” was how Jim announced on Facebook his Monday return to SiriusXM Deep Tracks Channel 27 He had been absent from the satellite service for a number of weeks “Let’s Get Loud!

original host of “Coast to Coast AM” heard locally on KFI had died on Friday the 13th He was 72 No matter what you might have thought about what Art talked about – and that included the paranormal abstract conspiracies and the world of UFOs – Art was a radio original Broadcasting from a double-wide trailer in the Nevada desert for more than two decades Art talked to his listeners in the middle of the night about their stories of alien abductions crop circles anthrax scares and as he put it all things “seen at the edge of vision” While serving in the US Air Force in the Vietnam War Art indulged his childhood passion for radio by operating a pirate station that played anti-war music otherwise unavailable on official channels broadcast to American servicemen Following his time in the service Art’s love of radio led him to working as a disc jockey for an English-language station in Japan Over there he set a Guinness World Record for broadcasting some 116 hours straight to raise funds to rescue over 100 Vietnamese orphans left stranded by the conflict in their home country Back in the states Art started his radio journey doing overnights on KDWN in Las Vegas Syndicated nationally in 1993 Coast to Coast AM became a phenomenon He frequently would end up on the yearly list of Best LARP Art drew an audience of about 10 million listeners a week when his show was syndicated on as many as 500 stations He believed in possibilities and he loved the idea that his openness to paranormal events had helped build the nation’s appetite for Twin Peaks The X-Files and other expressions of the edges of reality Born June 17 1945 in Jacksonville NC Art grew up with a seven-transistor AM radio tucked under his pillow at night When he was supposed to be sleeping Art listened instead to the pioneers of talk radio as they batted around alternative ideas about who really killed John F Kennedy or how the CIA controlled people’s minds His nightly “Coast to Coast” show ran from 1989 to 2003 then he continued broadcasting on weekends until 2007 Art briefly returned with a satellite radio show in 2013 and an online program in 2015 That show ended after a few months because Mr Bell said someone had taken to firing a weapon at his Nevada property Art was married four times At the time of his death he was married to Airyn Ruiz whom he met when she befriended him online after the death of his previous wife Ruiz was then 22 and living in the Philippines Bell was inducted into the Nevada Broadcasters Association Hall of Fame in 2006 and the National Radio Hall of Fame in 2008 Archives 3rd Quarter 2017: KBIG big in the ratings Open Email to KLOS PD Entercom shuts down The Sound Art Laboe celebrates 74 consecutive years on the radio KNX shuffles shifts Top 20
