Lisa Osborn Chuck Cecil Dan Avey w/daughter Ally Joe Nasty Willie Bee Phil Flowers Nancy Plum and Joe Nasty Lisa May Ends 30-Year Radio Career November 19 2019 Long-time radio morning personality Lisa May is retiring from radio She made the announcement on “The Frosty Heidi amp Frank Show” on KLOS After 30-years of waking up with Southern California listeners she is hanging up her headphones and moving to the Coachella Valley to explore entrepreneurial interests May’s last day as the entertainment news and traffic reporter at KLOS will be Friday December 13 May said “As someone who loves LA and is weirdly obsessed with traffic I am immensely grateful for my 30 years in Los Angeles radio To say it has been an amazing ride is an understatement and I want to thank 955 KLOS and ‘The Frosty Heidi and Frank Show’ for giving me the opportunity to spend my last 5 years on air with them What an honor! I’m looking forward to the next chapter in my life – I’m headed to the Palm Springs area to open up a sister-studio to Strength Code in Toluca Lake My hope is to be able to move through the next 20-plus years with strength and grace and to help others do the same” “Lisa has touched millions of listeners in Southern California over the years and morning radio won’t be the same Her familiar calming voice and infectious laugh will truly be missed” said KLOS pd Keith Cunningham In February 2015 Lisa May left the KROQ Kevin amp Bean morning show where she had been since 1990 Born in Inglewood Lisa grew up in Costa Mesa She was actually employed by the traffic company Total Traffic that provided that service to KROQ in exchange for spot inventory When she left KROQ Bean said “We’re very very close friends with Lisa May I consider her one of my best friends” Kevin added: We love her and we’re gonna stop doing traffic and so that means she has to go away It sucksIt is very difficult for us to discuss this and very difficult to present it in a way that is respectful of her and to let people know how sad we are about this It is a huge loss for us She’s been with us from almost the beginning of the show It is weird for me that she’s not here Real weird Plus she was the only one who was every nice to me There was a time when Ralph Garman wasn’t on the show We’ve had other people come and go like Jimmy Kimmel and Adam Carolla It’s kind of the nature of the beast when a show has been on for a long time that people are going to come and go We love you Lisa and we will absolutely miss you and I hope we can stay friends” concluded Bean Hear Ache Earl Trout has a new bumper sticker especially for youth of the 60s who are now well grown-up and know what that 1967 bumper sticker really should have said: “Don’t Trust Anyone Over 30 Years in Government” … In the LA Times interview with KROQ’s Kevin amp Bean the duo acknowledged the competition they were joining upon their arrival in 1989 They included Mark amp Brian KLOS Rick Dees KIIS/fm Jay Thomas KPWR Scott Shannon KQLZ and the Baka Boys later KPWR “There were always good shows” said Kevin amp Bean … Jimmy DeCastro ex-KFAC and KKBT general manager exits the Midwest cluster for Entercom … Is podcasting replacing radio New data from Nielsen suggests that it isn’t according to their medium and small market edition of their Audio Today Report 90 percent of podcast listeners also use radio every week These podcast listeners prefer news/talk radio though over the most popular format in medium and small markets Country music Challenges at 885/fm November 18 2019 California State University Northridge is looking for someone to operate AAA station KCSN and Saddleback College’s KSBR according to a story in RadioTelevision Business Report A “Request for Qualification” has reportedly been issued by the public institution of higher learning according to another source Ken Mills’ Spark News blog which is devoted to noncommercial media Mills reports that CSUN issued the RFQ to solicit proposals from noncom public media organizations to manage and program KCSN and by default KSBR KCSN’s “Smart Rock” programming as it was initially billed in 2013 is the product of Sky Daniels the now-retired veteran Rock programmer who served as Alternative Editor of Radio amp Records before taking an upper-level management position at the now-defunct trade publication There is a fast time table for completion of this project CSUN hopes the process will be concluded by March 15 2020 Mills reports From the RadioTelevision Business Report: “KCSN/fm appears in the Nielsen Audio ratings for Los Angeles with a 04 rating overall This is achieved with a signal primarily serving the Santa Clarita Valley and San Fernando Valley aided by booster from a transmitter atop a former RampR home — 10100 Santa Monica Blvd in Century City This puts KCSN’s signal “over the hill” and into the Westside of LA including Beverly Hills and Santa Monica” Author Ken Mills says “Early speculation has PBS SoCal — the partnership between KCET-28 and KOCE-50 — a leading contender for managing KCSN and KSBR Then there is American Public Media which could bring its Adult Alternative ‘Current’ brand of Triple A music from its home market of Minneapolis” Help a Hero It’s another successful Help-a-Hero radiothon for AM 570 LA Sports KLAC Last Tuesday’s effort raised 250000 with all proceeds benefiting the Dream Center LA The local charity finds and fills the needs of struggling veterans and others in Los Angeles Dodger third baseman Justin Turner joined military veterans — some formerly homeless — and Dream Center LA staffers throughout the seven-hour broadcast The radiothon was hosted by Fred Roggin Rodney Peete Petros Papadakis and Matt Money Smith Don Martin iHeart Media Senior VP for sports in LA sent a memo to his staff at the conclusion of the radiothon: Today marks the 12th Anniversary of our ‘Help a Hero’ Radiothon As Matt and Petros so eloquently announced to our audience as they started their leg of the seven hour race: ‘This is our Favorite Day of the Year today we get to help people that need our help” Beautifully said Boys! This is definitely our Signature event as a station and a Family each year It does my heart proud to feel and see the love that permeates throughout this building each year To make this magic happen it truly takes a village and for that we want to thank all of you for your support All eight stations KFI and Tim Conway and Sheron Bellio helped bring us home from Programming to the Marketing and Promotions department IT Rickey and team you guys crushed it again The Engineering department our Web Content team rocked it Continuity cleared the deck again and of course the entire Sales team God bless you all and thank you! And once again our favorite Vet and legend Vin Scully kicked it all off and the guest list was Star-studded for sevem hours including our incredibly generous clients! Vic the Brick let Justin Turner and Attorney Sweet James Bergener cut his beard for 15000 He looks 20 years younger! Editor’s note: Here’s a link to the video Vons / Albertsons gave 35000 to start the day What an incredible time! When the day ended we eclipsed last year’s total of 236K by finishing the night at 250K and counting and drove our grand total of 12 years over the 2 Million dollar mark! To house the homeless Veterans in LA and OC All the money stays right here in So Cal! Congratulations! It feels so good Hear Ache Tom Lasser reports the Radio Television News Association of Southern California Golden Mikes will be held Saturday February 15 in Universal City … 63 of the world’s smartphones run on Android according to ScientiaMobile … Alan Sims went to Career Academy broadcasting school in Hollywood with KIIS/fm superstar Bruce Vidal “I knew him whenhe was a natural scroll up in photo gallery He was a buddy” emailed Alan … Sports guy Tony Bruno is experiencing some medical challenges “All we can do is place our trust in doctors and the healing process” wrote Tony on Facebook “My latest checkup was not encouraging Heading to the ER overnight and undergo my third surgery early Saturday morning” … KFI and anchor Aron Bender have permanently parted ways according to KFI news director Chris Little Michael Crozier will take over the shift … Last month we introduced you to KLOS evening personality Greg Beharrell Afternooner Gary Moore was asked for a comment about Greg Gary responded “Who” thanks to David Schwartz for this KABC billboard from the 60s Nostalgia Sunday – 12 Years Ago Today The Drake Format and 93/KHJ According to Bill Watson Former Drake/Chenault National PD November 17 2007 Last summer Ron Jacobs former pd at 93/KHJ Boss Radio said some things at LARadio that prompted a retort from Bill Watson former national pd for the Drake/Chenault chain Watson outlines his perspective on KHJ and provides insight into Bill Drake Photo: Bill Watson The Real Don Steele Bill Drake Watson’s story: It’s hard to believe that Ron Jacobs is obsessing and complaining about his early days with Bill Drake and KHJ almost FORTY THREE years later His recent comments to LARadio regarding Bill and me were uncalled for ridiculous and misleading cheap shots Sad! And Now Ladies and Gentlemen Some Top 40 Radio History – The Bill Drake Era It is what it is! But – there is some Internet spinning of what it really was Ron Jacobs an old pre-Drake teammate of mine chooses to never mention some real goodies He seems more interested in maximizing his role and bad mouthing and minimizing Bill Drake Nice For example: The outcome of the radio Big Game in Fresno before 93/KHJ LA Jacobs’ KMAK vs Drake’s KYNO KYNO scored a 52 average share of the audience from 6 am to midnight More than all other seventeen stations combined Jabobs splits Scoreboard! Months later Jacobs reappears from uh somewhere visits me and seeks a job with Drake and his new client KHJ Drake decides to hire him and gives Ron his format / programming philosophy Drake also gave him Robert W Morgan The Real Don Steele Sam Riddle Gary Mack Roger Christian Dave Diamond Johnny Williams and the Johnny Mann Singers they were all hired before Jacobs And when Drake gave Jacobs the job he also gave him the greatest music format in radio no interference from outside of the programming department and a commercial policy to die for Drake also gave Jacobs a lot of other little goodies like The Big Kahuna the 48-hour Blockbuster ‘The History of Rock and Roll’ and on and on Bill explained the concept of ‘The History’ to Jacobs gave him the outline and told him to hire some writers have Bill Mouzis do the montages and studio production and have Robert W Morgan narrate it No Drake no ‘History of Rock and Roll!’ I was there I could go on but why bother Jacobs has a very selective memory and seems consumed with shameless self promotion And he calls everyone else involved ‘wannabes’ I became sick of reading Ron’s deceptive comments and thought someone should set the record straight No Drake no LA program director gig for Jacobs! That’s all I worked with them both and I would know For the complete story check with me in the huddle I remember ALL of the colorful pd’s and jocks who joined at ALL the RKO stations during the Odyssey They know who they are Each city was an adventure KHJ-Los Angeles KFRC-San Francisco WOR/fm-New York WRKO-Boston CKLW-Detroit WHBQ-Memphis KGB-San Diego KAKC-Tulsa and of course KYNO-Fresno It was a TCB fun trip and unforgettable off duty kicks Tina Delgado Is Alive!!! Email Saturday 11162019 KPCC Downsizing “Don’t know why KPCC would dump Hettie Lynne Hurtes the best talent on the staff matched only by Susanne Whatley but on top of all her other talents it’s all dressed up with the best voice on the staff as well They’ve effectively just taken the sound of the station and removed the tuxedo and told everybody to go to work in shorts I’m looking forward to someone casting a soprano in the Mr Grinch role this Christmas You know there are some cases where there is just no replacement Sorry I have to get back to listening to my new boxed set of Minnie Mouse singing Diana Krall hits And all this from a station that bought 4000 Neumann microphones from our donations and filtered them to sound like 90 mics It figures” – Don Elliot World Class Public Radio Outlet “I’m sorry about KPCC laying off Hettie Lynne Hurtes I remember when KPCC was a true teaching tool for PCC first and then a world class public radio outlet I worked there as the PR assistant in the late 70’s – early 80’s It’s also too bad about Fuddruckers I guess the one in Buena Park is probably the only one left” – Julie T Byers Worked with Hettie “I first worked with Hettie Lynne Hurtes back in the late ’70’s we were kids at the time! and can honestly say she is the hardest working and most professional news anchor I know No matter what the format any station would be fortunate to have her on their staff” – Ken Davis KPCC Midday News “I agree with the many who offer accolades to Hettie Lynne Hurtes she is indeed one of the best LARadio journalists I also hope it is not true KPCC is going to cut back on their midday local newscasts The station has many fine reporters including the talented anchors Any reduced opportunity for these reporters to have their stories heard is not a positive for an otherwise quality source for local information on the local radio dial” – Alan Oda Dudley’s Records “What a joy to see Bill Dudley in his element and doing so well Hard work and deep passion That’s Bill” – Keri Tombazian Dudley Do Right “I’m so glad that Bill Dudley’s store is doing so well He’s a great guy If I were still living in SoCal I would be spending many hours there” – Bob Scott Where is the Bender “I am not sure if this is the right place to send an email for a radio question but what happened to Aron Bender at KFI and the Tim Conway Show Love the website” – Julie Lule Funny Funnies “Your cartoons just keep gettin’ better and better I still wish we could find the one that hung in the KUSN control room for a few days: A fat ol’ news guy with reading glasses in front of a mike holding his copy saying ‘wanna know what today’s weather is like Look out the goddamn window’ Pretty sure I mentioned it before It was in Field amp Stream or one of those It’s still the best ‘on-air guy’ cartoon I’ve ever seen” – Rich Brother Robbin Eagle Eye “Loved the riff on the Eagles’ presence on a corner in Winslow Arizona Like they say in Daily Variety: Boffo!!” – Warren Cereghino School Shooting Coverage “I generally listen to 790 KABC while getting ready for work and they broke in with the news of the school shooting at about 7:55 am They discussed it until 8 am when the hourly news came on and then stayed with it after the news report was finished I got into my car at about 8:12 and started to hit my presets to see what coverage was going on I hit 640 KFI to see what they were saying about it but Bill Handel was interviewing someone about the high cost of building permits I punched 570 KLAC and they were talking sports I hit 1260 K-SURF and they were playing Oldies I hit KNX 1070 and they were in a commercial I hit 870 KRLA and they were covering the shooting Back to KABC and they were still covering the shooting I hit KFI again and they were in commercial Back to KNX and they were in another commercial Back to KRLA and they were now in commercial Back to KABC and they were still covering Back to KFI and they were now covering Back to KNX and now they were covering the shooting When do you throw out the commercials and just stay with a breaking story Just wondering” – Gary Gibson Mort Sahl at KOST “We’ve corresponded before but it’s been a while I worked in the 1960s at KLON-Long Beach when it was still the station of the public schools and then when it was first turned over to CSULB for Jazz I then left radio I have a KOST program from 1970 part of their Public Service obligation called Confrontation hosted by ‘Ben Thumb’ and ‘Dick Trubo’ phonetically spelled here It is an interview with Mort Sahl I am about to post it to YouTube but I wanted to know if you have any knowledge of those two hosts and whether I have their names spelled correctly If either of those gentlemen is known to you could you let me know I’d appreciate it Thanks for all your work on behalf of LA Radio I still have my hard copy of Los Angeles Radio People and love leafing through it to re-live ‘old times’” – Bruce Tennant 5626665811 oscarlevantgmailcom Rita Wilde and CW West Get Downes for First Podcast Confessional November 15 2019 If you are into radio and records – and why else would you be here this morning – there is a new podcast debuting this week that you should put on your must-listen list Rita Wilde veteran of KEZY KLOS and KSWD The Sound is a Southern California broadcast legend She has teamed with CW West they worked together at KLOS to host “Rock and Roll Confessional” Why a podcast now “First off we have been very good friends since day one working at KLOS way back in the early 80s We clicked Not only for the love of music but we both have a very warped sense of humor A year ago I approached Rita to host a podcast Rita’s answer was ‘only if you co-host with me’” said CW “Secondly a podcast doesn’t take a corporate world to run right now it’s just the two of us We have all seen how corporations take over and make it about the shareholders This is our world now we get to choose every aspect of what the presentation will be Right now it is raw but we are learning the process as we go” said the pair The first show is up and available Their guest is Steve Downes between Rita and CW Rock veteran at KWST beginning in 1978 and later on KEZY KLOS and KLSX “We are going through our roster of friends and those who we worked with over the past 30 years But we are also reaching out to people that we haven’t worked with – people we’re dying to talk with and find out more about” continued Rita and CW They have two goals for this podcast “Number one is to inform the listeners about the music industry This podcast is for music fans Whether you are a fan that wants to know more about the industry or a fan from the industry we welcome anyone who loves rock music We want our guests to share what they went through while they were in the music business Our guests will be from all walks of this life Everyone from promoters managers roadies photographers music publishing and yes bands” Rita and CW feel that everybody has a story “But there hasn’t always been an outlet for those stories Because of our podcast format those stories can be told – and there are a lot of incredible people waiting to share their anecdotes” From a technical point Wilde and West go to the guests “Wherever they are The nice thing about this day and age is that we can travel with an entire studio on our back We use a Zoom H6 six track portable recorder and a few microphones Since we are portable it’s much easier for a guest to say ‘yes’ We can meet at a conference room management office house or as Rita has mentioned plenty of times Starbucks!” When will the pair see revenue for these podcasts “I’d like to see revenue right now But I know like anything else we have to build up to it Right now we are asking for listeners to join as members on Patreon As little as a buck a month but as much as they like This isn’t required to listen to the podcast but it is a way for listeners who have the same passion for music that we do to give a little something back Those who appreciate the effort to put this together can contribute Believe me there is a huge effort involved in bringing this show forward to our listeners” CW said that one of the challenges that they’ve had to overcome has been technical “Learning to use the recording equipment editing the show and building a website have all been huge challenges It is ALL new Marketing a podcast isn’t done the same way promotions were done in radio 30 years ago But every day is a new day that we learn more I’m sure in a year the early shows will sound a little less professional But it will still be great content” Steve was a perfect guest for the launch podcast He grew up in Columbus Ohio and graduated with a BA from the University of Dayton He began his radio career in Ohio in 1969 at one of the Midwest’s first progressive rock stations “The first couple of radio stations I worked for were free-form” he told Rita and CW “You walked in with a bunch of albums under one arm and a joint in your hand Boom Let it go We had a blast” Steve was at the college station that actually sold commercials “Everyone was a student You really got a good education I made a buck twenty-five an hour” He revealed to the podcasters the slogan for his Athens Ohio station: “’We’re the only station town’” because we were the only station in town You were listening go us or white noise Our ratings were tremendous” In 1974 he became pd of WYDD-Pittsburgh Later he was operations director of KWST in 1979 Steve remembered that rock ’n roll was king in the 80s with four Album Rock stations: KLOS KMET KWST and KROQ He spent the better part of a decade at KLOS He shares some behind the scene stories from his days at KLOS “Carey Curelop KLOS pd didn’t have the balls to fire me” said Steve The podcast reveals all and who-done-it In the mid-1980s for a half-decade Steve was the voice for many of the top syndicated rock shows produced by the Westwood Radio Network including “The Superstar Concert Series” “The Rock Chronicles” and “Rock and Roll Never Forgets” In 1986 he was flown to Japan to do a series of radio shows for “FM

Dudley November 13 2019 Bill Dudley of KTWV is truly an entrepreneur Bill has worked virtually all shifts at the WAVE including the signature Sunday Brunch Before arriving in the Southland he owned several record stores in Portland from 1980 until 1999 when he sold them to become part of the WAVE “When my hours got cut at CBS Radio 3 years ago I decided to re-open the store” Dudley’s Records Vintage Vinyl located at 4633 Torrance Blvd in Torrance just celebrated its second anniversary The store sells thousands of records CDs cassettes posters T-shirts and other music related merchandise “My neighbor Jesse who I had known since he was a little kid was the perfect choice to join the new store Jesse is an encyclopedia of musical knowledge from the 1960s on up and he wasn’t even born until 1997” Bill grew up in Palo Alto He was sent to a military boarding school known as the Palo Alto Military Academy “The kids attending ages 6-14 were required to wear a complete military uniform every day This included starched shirts with tie and dress jacket We had to spit-shine our leather shoes and stand in military formation prior to every meal My father passed away when I was nine and my mother thought that I needed a good education and proper discipline I was completely lost at this school during the first of my five years there My only friend became the radio Top 40 Radio KEWB and KYA in the Bay Area to be specific The songs and deejays of that era including Bobby Dale Tom Donahue Tommy Saunders Emperor Gene Nelson and Russ The Moose Syracuse navigated me through some very lonely times The radio was my only contact with the outside world” “As time went on another kid showed up at the school that also seemed sorta out of place his name was Steve Tolen Bill continued “He also listened to the radio and soon we were making our own early reel to reel demo tapes Steve was the newsman and I was the dj Several years later after we graduated one of our teachers liked us so much he hired us to work at his summer camp in Northern California On our first day off we hitch-hiked into the first small town we could find – Quincy That day we met the fire chief mortician ambulance driver and owner of the local radio station and all one person Andy Anderson” Photo: Dudley’s Records Vintage Vinyl owner Bill Dudley and clerks Jesse Chavez-Gallella and Alex Sanford Credit: Michael Hixon of the Beach Reporter The next summer Steve was driving the ambulance while Bill was working at the radio station Steve became a very successful health care professional and

is still doing the Sunday Brunch at Spaghettini in Seal Beach on a regular basis Bill says What originally looked like a scary situation back in fifth grade actually turned out to be a very good thing My life was greatly influenced by going to that private school The two best teachers I ever had in my life were employed there one of which indirectly got me into radio I still reflect on the importance of hearing the radio and having it help me thru my early years of uncertaintyBill continued: My record store has always been and still is a similar hangout for younger people who appreciate Classic Rock Soul and Jazz It’s amazing how one person can change your life You also may never have met the second or third most influential person in your life if you never met the first Each exit off the highway may lead you to an entirely different place This photo was taken on the second anniversary of the new Dudley’s “The clock behind us was the original clock we had in the first store circa 1980 We even still have the same phone number that is on the clock with a different area code” At the second Anniversary weekend many of Bill’s regular customers showed up to celebrate “I’m proud to announce that Dudley’s always has been and still is a great place to hang out for music fans of all ages that just may feel at home with us The store is important to people and makes me feel like I have done something right helping make some folks lives just a little bit better I also recently heard from a guy who was a customer at the Portland store way back in 1985 – 1991 It was a big part of his childhood His name is Reid Van Ness now in his late 40s Reid remembers the original pink bags we had with the Dudley cartoon on them that were such a big part of his childhood I just sent him several business cards from that era The store is kind of like ‘Floyd’s Barber Shop’ on the Andy Griffith Show Lots of younger people are also supporting the new store and unlike many record stores in this area we also have a large array of FEMALE customers It must be our good looks!” “My store has been visited by many LARP including Talaya Trigueros Barbara Blake Lawrence Tanter Maggie

1192019 Great Lee Abrams Essay “Thanks for the great article by Lee Abrams Excellent advice and opinions well stated This comes from the very same guy that inspired us out at KCAL/fm in San Bernardino in the late 1970s to flip our radio station overnight from soft AC to full-time Album Rock Burkhart-Abrams weren’t our consultants We had never even met the guys But we certainly knew what they were doing and it was getting a lot of buzz on the street and huge ratings in the books As one of my former general managers once told me ‘I read a lot and I surround myself with smart and creative people that have the vision for something better They’re the ones that make me look good every day’” – Ted Ziegenbusch Sky’s the Limit “I was blessed to be mentored by this man I am grateful for what we achieved together Radio could benefit from Lee Abram’s perspective” – Sky Daniels Generic Radio “Lee Abrams is ready to kick butt or at least have the radio industry do so He is right that radio has become generic It sounds the same anywhere one can go and tune in Broadcasters are afraid to being different or sounding different Because of my dissatisfaction of commercial radio I turn more and more to public or noncommercial radio providers who don’t yell at me or try to get me to think a certain way I listen not only to NPR but to the local hosts on KCRW and KPCC I enjoy the nightly music programs offered as the djs have a more open hand to selecting their artists and don’t have to follow the edicts of a faceless person thousands of miles away Lee Abrams is right to say radio needs to be shaken up I just hope radio picks the right formula and gets the gonads to engage its audience and do it promptly” – Dan Ramos Joshua Tree Back to the Basics “The Lee Abrams ‘back to the basics’ reference reminded me of an early KGB jock meeting when Buzz Bennett made it clear he didn’t want backsells longer than ten seconds period Chuck Browning asked if there were any exceptions Buzz replied ‘sure but if your rap goes over ten seconds it better fuckin’ kill me’ That’s still seared into my memory” – Rich Brother Robbin Blake’s Take “I love this Lee Abrams essay Thanks for printing it in an easy to read email…good for saving” – Barbara Blake CitizenPlanetcom Content is the Product “Wow Lee Abrams understands Having spent a little time in radio I remember the talent that made me want to be on radio It always seemed like magic to me I was never captured by jingles or hyped formats I was captured by humans on the air who said things that resonated with me at the start of my day or in the dark of my bedroom as the comfort of a distant friend filled my room Content is the product It’s what flows out of the speaker from the person on the air It’s the product that can be sold by talented businessmen It’s a dance a partnership The most successful radio is when management allows talent to grow without fear or rules that a consultant insists worked in Scranton Howard Stern Rush you want to make big money mentor that” – Larry Van Nuys Agree with Abrams “Yes! Yes! Yes! Just a few days ago I said to a few ex-radio friends ‘radio has not changed since the 70s’ Same style same liners same tired rules but duller Thank you for this” – Stan Campbell ex-KLAC Guy Brockville Ontario Abrams with a Dose of Reality “Very nice article Every time I deviated from the ‘format’ in the slightest way the phone would ring Or the station owner’s wife calling and telling you to break that last record and put it on her desk How can anybody run a business like that You don’t I always tried to be creative nobody wanted it” – Bob Hughes Back to Reality with Abrams “In stating the obvious Lee Abrams brought us back to reality Yes radio hasn’t changed in 40 years Imagine 40 years ago if stations were programmed like it was 1939 Instead of playing Top 40 hits at KFXM I’d be running the board for network shows like Jack Benny and Fibber McGee amp Molly YIKES!” – Neil Young Early Boss Jock “Is it possible Will Rogers was the original Boss Jock” – Gary Mack Kevin amp Bean End “I never heard these gentlemen but it’s obvious they were great I found a real respect and appreciation for Bean when I read that he had donated a kidney to a person in need That’s class” – Mike Butts Demetriou Riveting “Great riveting stuff from Pete Demetriou!” – Bob Sirkin Demetriou Live “I happened to be listening to KNX when Pete Demetriou gave his live report To say that this was the best radio I had ever heard would be a vast understatement It was scary and like watching an accident on the freeway I could not turn off the radio I was shaken for the rest of the day Thank goodness Mr Demetriou and the many others are fine!” – Sterrett Harper President Harper Claims Service Inc Burbank College Buddy “Pete Demetriou was actually my companion at UCLA radio I was the morning man he was the news guy Who knew I’m very proud of the work he does and how consistently good he continues to be Most don’t know how truly funny Pete is and one day one Strange Day I will reveal all!” – Ed Mann KNX Drama Hour End “Wow my email lit up this week You should be happy to know you have such reach Let me clear something up the press release about the Drama Hour was a Sales piece We were selling to the LA Times OC Register and any local tv coverage not to radio insiders Radio insiders should know that after consolidation ‘It’s not the money it’s the money’ 60 Minutes fit 1930’s radio programs did not” – Pat Duffy Ron Treated Fairly “Was reading the website and noticed your item on Ron Fairly who just passed away You forgot to mention that he worked at KTLA Channel 5 as weekend sportscaster when his playing days were over I know this as I worked with Ron when I started as an intern in the Sports Department in November 1981 He did the weekends during the baseball off season One-time former Kansas City shortstop Freddie Patek paid a visit to see what went into sportscasting as Freddie was thinking about getting into the tv business Ron was just a classic act He was also teaching me about putting together a sports highlight package and writing copy Just a great all-around person” – Charles Glazer Toluca Lake Former KTLA Channel 5 Sports Associate 1982-85 interned 1981-82 Roll Tape “What is this ‘tape’ thing you wrote about on Tuesday Duct scotch or cellophane” – Chris Carmichael Aircheck Collection “I used to aircheck format changes They are all on audio cassette in storage Not sure what I am going to do with them I know I have the birth of KLSX when it was Classic Rock I think I have the end of KRLA the last Huggy Boy show” – David Schwartz Golden Age of Radio “I enjoyed reading the 2003 article about KNX dropping its Drama Hour which also presented some comedy shows ‘The Jack Benny Program’ along with dramas such as Box 13 with Alan Ladd The Six Shooter with James Stewart and The Lone Ranger Close to 30 years ago I interviewed Charlie Michelson who syndicated those shows to KNX and was responsible in large part for ‘kids’ like me born in the late ’50s becoming fans of ‘Golden Age Radio’ in the ’60s More about him is at Charles Michelson Memorial – Lobitos Creek RanchThere’s still at least one ‘drama hour’ on Southern California radio Since October 1982 I have hosted and produced Forward into the Past for KSPC/fm 887 the Pomona College station It airs from 2 to 5 pm on Sunday afternoons During the first and third hour I present great records from the 1920s ’30s and ’40s – jazz and hot dance bands big-band swing comedy records show tunes and soundtracks and even the occasional vintage blues or country disc I have a barn in my back yard which houses 30000 78s LPs and CDs of music from this era The middle hour is taken up with great old-time radio shows usually one half-hour comedy program and another 30-minute drama Listeners who miss the KNX hour can ‘return to those thrilling days of yesteryear’ for at least one hour every Sunday on KSPC In addition my radio partner Roger Allen and I present an hour of new radio comedy with The Sunset Review in which we bravely attempt to make sense of the goings-on in Merkis Palms the town that time remembers but people forget That show starts at 1 pm on Sundays and has been on KSPC since 1988 I play about 60 characters on the show including culture maven Walter Withersgap astrologer Lola Nebula rambunctious six-year-old Billy Furtively consumer advocate Lolo Price town ‘historian’ and chief gossip-monger Percival Heavens and commodities market reporter Buellton Bullbear KSPC’s programming can be reached on the internet at http://wwwkspcorg Thank you again

Back in the olden days these types of stores were referred to as Army/Navy Army Surplus or War Surplus Stores My initiation to surplus stores was CampH Sales in Pasadena CampH almost had it all optics electronics electromechanical test equipment The other stores I frequented were Joe Factor Sales in Burbank now Luky’s Hardware electronics hydraulic hoses hardware Apex Electronics in Sun Valley electronics hardware test equipment cable and Surplus City in Sun Valley vehicles tents clothing Apex and Luky’s are still in business In the 90s when Joe Factor began telling his customers he is going to give it up soon I took that to heart I began visiting his store at least once and at times twice a month up until he finally closed his doors for the last time I checked all the nooks and crannies making sure I’d overlooked nothing On one of these last adventures to Joe’s I came across a box of coil cables kinda like a coil cable on a David Clark aviation headset and bought them straight away Years later 25 actually I finally got around to checking closely that box of coil cables I’d purchased decades before As it turned out I’d purchased surplus NASA equipment The markings on one cable in particular came as quite a surprise This image should tell the rest of the story Cheers” – Kirk Phillips Voice King at 28 “Some months back you ran a story on LA sports voices and I wrote to keep an ear on Alex Faust the new LA Kings pxp tv guy So far he hasn’t disappointed This article analyzes a few of the new hockey voices including Faust I hope you’ll pass it on” – Larry Boxer Evil Woman “Getting in the car after my Monday morning physical therapy session I’m on the tail end of a snapped Achilles tendon recovery I fire up the 1958 Ford’s AM radio and head off to work at the studio After the usual 20-second wait for the vacuum tubes to warm up out of the speaker comes ELO’s Evil Woman courtesy of K-SURF I always had a soft spot for Jeff Lynne and Co but there’s also just something about hearing a 44-year-old favorite coming from a 61-year-old receiver With a smile on my face I turned up the radio and headed to The Shop” – Bruce Barker RIPBean November 8 2019 “I am leaving the show at the end of the year to move back home to England the ninth largest island in the world” Bean of the KROQ Kevin amp Bean Show announced on social media earlier this year And for almost a year it has been the long goodbye for Bean which officially ended yesterday with a show filled the conciliation humor and the realization that one of the BEST morning shows ever would be no longer The ripbean hashtag created much confusion on Twitter from those who thought Mr Bean the British comedian had died Many people got their start with Kevin amp Bean – Jimmy Kimmel and Adam Carolla among them Our lives have been enriched by their familiar comedy with regular players and guests over 30 years Other morning teams were popular over the years but no one lasted longer than Gene “Bean” Baxter and Kevin Ryder Lohman amp Barkley stayed together as a morning team for 25 years but Roger Barkley said the last three years together was “painful” Like marriages sometimes they end badly Roger just walked out one day and that was it Mark Wallengren and Kim Amidon lasted 22 years in the morning slot at KOST Mark amp Brian were together at KLOS for almost 25 years By comparison Kevin amp Bean survived together in wake-up mornings a few days shy of 30 years Tonight the pair get inducted into National Radio Hall of Fame On the final show yesterday morning Bean said he hopes the show continues forever He told long-time friend to the show and KROQ Loveline co-host Dr Drew Pinsky asked why he sounded so happy “I am actually happy” said Bean “People expect me to be sad because I’m leaving the greatest job Although I will miss it I’m really focused on the future and I’m really excited about the next chapter In six months I may call and say I made the biggest mistake of my career” Kevin quipped “Don’t call We’ll be good” Bean added “I know I can’t come back I know the door is shut behind me but I am excited about my next chapter” Crosstown rival classic Rock KLOS wished Bean well and congratulations on 30 years Ralph Garman long-time part of the Kevin amp Bean supporting team was afraid he was persona non gratis but he did appear on the show “It felt so good to catch up with you” Ralph wrote “An end to an era Congrats to Bean Baxter on a spectacular 30-year run I’m so glad I was a little part of that Mostly because I learned so much about broadcasting by working with Bean A true pro Best of luck in your next adventure” KTLA did a nice farewell piece when Green Day performed recently You can see it here The LA Times published an in-depth piece on the pair hereBean received many other tributes from both fellow LARPs and listeners KROQ’s Nicole Alvarez said “Bean forever!” Listener Juan Frausto posted on Twitter how much the KROQ show meant to him: “I started listening in 1994 I had moved to a new school in a new town I left all my friends behind but these two felt like friends since the beginning” Eddie Mann formerly with KIIS and KBIG: “Hard to believe that Kevin and Bean are no more Some of the most inventive radio I’ve ever heard Met them both separately at their previous radio gigs total pros and saw Adam and Jimmy at Premiere many times thinking that they had the best gigs on earth working the World Famous KROQ with this free-wheeling morning show For those not in radio the freedom they had was unique Just about anything went on the air and they were so honest The show will go on with Kevin but it won’t be the same Bon voyage! kroq ripbean kevinandbeanComedian Brad Williams acknowledged the end of an era “Thank you for your kindness humor and remarkable ability to be rich but still eat like crap” KROQ afternooner Ted Stryker wrote: “Damn really feeling the sadness that clydetombaugh is about to sign off What a run! That being said thekevinryder alliemackay and JensenKarp so excited to hear you guys build this thing!” Long-time KROQ middayer Tami Heide: “Wishing Gene ‘Bean’ Baxter the best in his new adventures in England! Bean you have always been an outstanding funny intelligent radio host And the fact that you could be used for parts and donated a kidney to dear departed Scott Mason just puts you in the stratosphere of amazing humans! Thank you for your kindness over the years Bean thank you for your service to KROQ and Los Angeles and listeners everywhere You are truly remarkable Thank you and carry on!” Todd Wilson former iHeart technical director: “A lot of words have come into my head and my heart thinking about this day but none really capture what the last day of The Kevin and Bean Show means to me Literally they are the reason my life is where it is today They inspired me to pursue broadcasting which sent me to ASU which is where I met Stacy the love of my life who gave me my two amazing children” KROQer Kat Corbett: “When I joined the on-air staff kroq it was intimidating as fuck and I was overwhelmed with insecurities I didn’t know Bean Had never met him One weekend he came into the studio and told me he was so happy I was there It changed everything Generous both on and off the mic there’s a long list I could write about his contributions and support of others – he donated a kidney He’s an incredible interviewer makes me laugh like hell and a good sport A sweet husband and friend to animals When he signs off at KROQ I’ll just tell myself he’s on another one of his wacky vacations visiting post offices or weird museums until he resurfaces somewhere in the UK Any show would be lucky to have him After years of waking up at an ungodly hour sleep Bean sleep Relax Recharge And tackle your next challenge with all the wit and weird skills you possess I love you I’m wishing you and Donna Mendivil Baxter all the best on your new adventure” The on-air guests started with long-time newsman Doc on the ROQ Boyd R Britton All the guests were perfect Even Jim “Poorman” Trenton who had been fired 26 years ago over an incident involving Bean called in In his introduction of Poorman Bean referred to him as being “on the Mount Rushmore of KROQ personalities” and “one of the greats who helped build this radio station into the icon it is today He did not leave under great circumstances though” There were tense moments during Poorman’s phone call as Bean rehashed the reasons for the friction Said Poorman: “You should have enjoyed the birthday party I had my birthday party on your front lawn That’s how I got fired I brought 500 KROQ listeners a couple of birthday cakes Rodney on the ROQ We just wanted to have a party with you and you should have enjoyed the birthday party in the middle of the night in Hancock Park I just wondered why you didn’t have fun” Bean responded: “There were fires People set fire to the front lawn Somebody drove by the next day and threw a brick through the front window of my house These were your people I’m not saying that that was your intention They kind of looked at you being mad at me and thought they were going to get even with me And I mean I literally had to move We had to pack up and move out of that house as a result of what you did on the radio that night It still ended up with 500 listeners on my lawn Oh by the way they also got into the fuse box and turned off the power to my house while you guys were out there as well So we’re inside and people are banging on the doors and banging on the windows trying to get me to come out We’re sitting there in pitch-black darkness having no idea what was going to happen It was honestly one of the most terrifying things that we’ve ever lived through” “But here’s the thing okay — and I agree I should have not taken 500 listeners there Poorman responded And I lost 180 grand a year in salary and my gig at KROQ which in the end you’ve gotta think that was pretty stupid of me right” “But Poorman just for context here weren’t you fired at KIIS/fm weren’t you fired at Star 987 weren’t you fired at Power 106” Kevin added rhetorically “You’ve been fired at almost every radio station you’ve ever worked at you’ve been fired for doing something dumb I mean you kind of have a history of making poor choices” Yet at the end “I thought that it was nice that Poorman made the effort” Bean being very gracious Stacie Seifrit Griffin was part of the KROQ marketing team for the morning show: “Bean and I have been friends since the mid-80s when we both worked in DC radio I was lucky to work with Kevin amp Bean at KROQ for about 10 years It was a very special place to be Much love and best of luck to everyone” Listener Dr Washington was expecting some Foo Fighters song or Good Riddance by Green Day as the final song “I lost it when they played Goodbye Goodbye by Oingo Boingo” This was last song the duo played on New Years Eve 1989 leading up to the new year and the new decade They thought it would be appropriate on the farewell show yesterday At the end of the show Carolla and Kimmel joined the duo “There is no Kevin amp Bean without the supporting cast “You guys were a major major part This show doesn’t fly without great people working with us It was never just about us” Bean said Originally Bean wanted to do a last show without telling anyone it was his last show “Can I just say that I was wrong — this is really fun Having everybody calling in and the boys in the studio I’m having a good time today” Bean was so inspirational at the end of the broadcast If there were issues between his partner of three decades and him you would never have known it “Kevin and I love and respect each other We always have and we both know how lucky we are to have hooked up” Who Was That Masked Man November 7 2019 Dr Drew Pinsky may be the most diversified and eclectic LARP ever! EVER From Lovelines in 1984 Dr Drew has captured the spotlight leading to his own tv shows guest appearances on variety programs commercials and being an expert on addiction medicine His proficiency has led to many high profile interviews Just Google his name and be amazed at his diversity He hosts a daily noon to 3 pm Talk show on KABC 790 AM But this is a story about a masked man probably least expected by his many fans When Dr Drew took off his Eagle mask recently on the Fox tv show The Masked Singer my first reaction was “You’re kidding me” It was Dr Drew! How in the world did he get this gig “I was giving my UTA agent some grief about something” Dr said by phone this week “For instance you should get me on a show like The Masked Singer Next day I was on the show” Few people know that he once considered a career in opera His mother was a professional singer “When I was a kid I used to have a very strong voice I thought if I’m ever going to sing in public as I’m losing my abilities slowly I better get on it now” he said Dr Drew explained the complex and intricate behind the scenes to The Masked Singer “Great production It is one of the most complicated I’ve ever seen They are so many different layers and so many different teams so many different things you can’t keep track of everything Think of each performance with the lighting the fireworks the dancer the choreography the rehearsal the costumes music direction the vocal coaching and everyone of those performers has a crazy amount of input” The component is secrecy of the celebrity performer Great lengths are taken to keep everyone’s identity blinded from everyone “You leave your house in the morning Every piece of you is covered up They don’t want anyone to see your skin tone body type and your face is covered with a big shield You are not allowed to speak until someone comes to your trailer and brings you to the stage and you sing” Dr Drew knew judges Ken Jeong and Jenny McCarthy so he was concerned they would guess him right away “I knew Ken Jeong when he was still practicing medicine I used to have him sit in for me on the radio He filled in on Loveline My engineer liked his comedy we reached out and had him as a guest I could see how talented he was so I had him fill-in for me on Loveline before Hangover and before anyone knew who he was” During the show there was a 10-minute segment that was distilled down to one-minute and was not part of the final show “The judges were up there guessing and all of a sudden Jeong suddenly says ‘I know who you are You have a Talk show and you used to ask me to fill in for the talk show’ I literally froze and said to myself ‘oh my God he’s gonna get this’ Jeong blurts out ‘You’re pause Craig Ferguson’” Apparently Jenny got really close “She a radio person at heart” Dr Drew said “guessing Adam Carolla” Dr Drew was a little exasperated when he took off his Eagle mask “She came all the way to Adam Carolla That’s why I look so frustrated when I take the head off ‘Come on Jenny you get to Adam and then can’t extrapolate to me’” The first collection of short stories by KNX’s Robert G Archer including Orson’s Last Walk The Heretic Dies Nothing Tells You the Truth Like the Past and Pentobarbital The deeply personal stories sometimes veer into science fiction and concern memory regret life and death Oh and there are cute dogs too Yes one of the stories is a radio tale Most of them feature a narrative thread running through that connects them If you don’t have a Kindle that’s okay You can read it online or use the Kindle app on your PC or mobile device It’s a small collection I’m just testing the waters If there’s a good response I’ll be making a paperback version available And yes there are more stories on the way emailed Rob Fire Clean-Up November 6 2019 Nearly 1900 acres burned in Simi Valley because of last week’s Easy Fire almost fully contained LARadio reader Jared Charles Kliger commended the work of KNX reporter Pete Demetriou “On the one hand it was live radio at its best On the other I’m sure I’m not the only one who was afraid for Demetriou’s life as he spoke” said Kliger Demetriou himself recalled details exclusively for LARadiocom while he was in Pittsburgh over the weekend Simply put “it was number 11 pucker factor” “I was on the leading edge of the fire west-southwest of the 23 freeway – a concern the fire would cross the freeway and affect homes” said Demetriou The flames crested a hill within five minutes before covering the entire hill “within 30 to 40 seconds” There were five or six engine companies on the site prepared to battle the fire “No one could have guessed what was going to happen next The flames hit some nearby pepper trees leading to a wall of flames 90 to 100 feet high That tends to elevate the temperature” said Demetriou “I was outside the truck holding onto the roof rack through sustained winds of 15 to 25 miles per hour When the firestorm came in the winds increased to 40 to 50 miles per hour…the truck was rocking back-and-forth two or three inches” He also noted how the fire created its own wind intensifying the heat It became obvious Demetriou would need to get into his truck for safety “And the Fire Department PIO jumped in 12 seconds after I did” he said Twelve thousand gallons of Foscheck a fire retardant was dumped off of DC10 aircraft but Demetriou said he only met with a moderate amount “By comparison all three CNN vehicles got hit directly – the vans were covered about one-quarter inch deep in pink Foscheck” After that the fire did jump the road The blaze was met with Ericsson Skycranes dumping 2000 gallons of water while the Blackhawks were dousing the fire with 1000 gallons of water “Aircraft was flying low maybe as low as 150 feet The blast from the helicopter blew away any smoke – that’s how low the aircraft were attacking the flames” “Even when you have experience you think you have enough space or are in the protected zone Mother Nature can throw you a curve ball” Demetriou commended the courageousness of the firefighters “who are entering a battle” as first responders “In the past couple of weeks there have been seven fires breaking” with firefighters offering complete and unrestrained effort at each incident “as if they were face to face with the Devil” Asked about whether he learned anything from a hazardous calamity which could have potentially turned tragic Demetriou said “I follow the Joe Hyams rules for reporters The first is if you can’t file your story with the media outlet you work for you’re useless Rule number two is if you’re dead you’re perfectly useless So do not get dead” You’ll never guess what Bob Eubanks is up to these days Bob was a KRLA

story about the removal of Drama Hour 16 years ago “The reason we killed it was the audience was too old The most interesting comments I got about it were from Rest Homes A guy from Santa Barbara actually complained because they put it on to put their residents to sleep Besides the Drama Hour we pulled off the racing calls again the audience was too old And I agree with everyone that KNX was and is running way too many spots I said that many times to all my bosses the only way to cut the spot load would be to get a younger audience and charge more for the spots Selling 65 demos is not easy” … Phil Hulett is celebrating 40 years with his college sweetheart Congratulations … Brazil is the 2 country for podcasting in the world according to PodNews Spotify hosted a podcasters summit in

has been appointed the new KUSC Morning Show Host starting today “If you’re up early you’re already familiar with Jennifer as host of California Classical All-Night” according to KUSC’s Senior Content

with the Classical Commuter Quiz at 7:45” Jennifer is most proud of becoming part of the KUSC family “I’ve been able to blend my love for music and radio I consider it a huge honor to be part of this community I still pinch myself every time I head into the studio” said Miller in a prepared release She calls Virginia Beach her home but her father was in the Navy and lived many places To get an idea of what she will bring to mornings her favorite Classical piece is Tuba mirum from the Berlioz Requiem “I sang this work my first year in graduate school at Westminster Choir College with the New York Philharmonic in Avery Fisher Hall complete with double brass choir The feeling in my chest when the brass kicks in for the first time is indescribable” said Miller Alan Oda’s Surprise 60th Birthday Celebration Yesterday with 85 of Closest Friends and Family center photo with son Andrew Alan is a treasured senior LARadio correspondent and editor Email Saturday 1122019 Fire Coverage “Nice comments about Pete Demetriou During my K-Earth days I’d run into Pete just about every morning in the Wilshire Blvd parking structure He always had a story whether it related to what he was covering or just a yarn that he had uncovered over the years He didn’t know me from Adam but after the first week I felt like we were old friends Still feel that way hearing his reports on the air He’s one of the best story tellers the world has ever known” – Dave Mason Pete the Best “Pete Demetriou continues to be THE BEST radio news reporter in SOCAL and one of the very best on air across the nation!” – Bob Sirkin Lucky to Have Demetriou “Just want to say that Pete Demetriou is one of the best most professional broadcast journalists I’ve ever met I still remember more than 25 years later his field reporting during the Northridge earthquake He made a big contribution to the public’s awareness of what had happened and the aftermath of same and he did it without any hint of apprehension or fear in his voice We are incredibly lucky to have him here in LA” – KM Richards Priceless “Are you getting residuals for these” – Norm Garr Trip Down Radio Dial “Someone really needs to get you an fm radio Lol” – Rob Frazier KRTH’s Success “I think the greatest innovation Chris Ebbott has made was building on Jhani Kaye’s bringing the core music library into the 1980s I did a quick check of their airplay and the most titles with plays of at least twice a day are from between 1982 and 1985 now Chris is also playing a lot of songs from the 1990s mostly at night but for the most part he only plays any given title once before resting it for several weeks I think that’s smart of him because his audience is likely to be younger at night and he’s giving those listeners the incentive with the newer songs but isn’t overplaying any of them Maybe ten years from now the core will be in the early 1990s and the nighttime accents will be from the early 2000s oh wait I heard No Doubt’s remake of Talk Talk’’s Just My Life recently That one is from 2003 so I guess it won’t take ten years after all!” – KM Richards 1 “Just read today’s LARP post In my opinion the latest ratings reflect the sorry state of ‘music’ today The number one station in town plays Oldies!” – Neil Ross Amazing Boss “Thank you for the incredibly kind words about K-EARTH!!!! We have such an incredible team and an amazing boss in Chris Ebbott and I’m so fortunate to be able to be a part of it And our listeners rock too! :” – Lara Scott Turnage’s Turn “I’ve been in Las Vegas this week for a long overdue vacation This morning while at a restaurant eating breakfast l decided to get caught up on things by reading LARadio from my cell phone What a pleasant surprise to see my name mentioned in your Monday column My gosh thank you so much for the kind words! I am indeed reporting on KABC in the evenings and very much enjoy being on with Peter Tilden Again many thanks And as always thanks for your continued great work on the LARadio website Best to you and your family” – Richard Turnage Turnage Fun I just wanted to add that Richard Turnage also did traffic for Robert W Morgan on K-Earth At 4:30 am on January 17 1994 Richard entered the KRTH studio just after the 67 Northridge Earthquake struck and when I asked him if he saw the collapsed Santa Monica Freeway just blocks away from the studio Richard said ‘Oh I just drove under it and thought it was a little lower than usual’ – Gary Marshall Fairly on 4 “I’m glad you got it right on Ron Fairly Mike Di Giovanna at the Times didn’t mention Fairly being our weekend sports anchor at Ch 4 when he embarked on his broadcasting career He was easy to work with and a very nice guy” – Warren Cereghino Funny Halloween Bat Gogh was the best Halloween meme I saw this year Thanks for making me laugh on the day after!” – Karen Lindell Equipment Question “I’m still reading all of LARadio every chance I get love it and sad to see many of the greats move on to higher plain I wanted you to know that I never forgot your advice which I should have taken it more seriously Here’s my question During my days at KLSX KRLA as the station was moving from Korea Town to Mid-City they were disposing pretty much everything analog equipment and cassette tapes etc I’ve been cleaning out my storage after 20 years and found 18 recordings of the 3rd hour of Michael Jackson on KRLA It consisted of various topics of the day especially one I came across a segment which he spoke about the Al Gore vs George W Bush race for the president Do you think the Museum of TV amp Radio would be interested them” – Nelson Salsa Fernandez formerly with KRLX KRLA Director of Public Affairs NFernandezrrcclacountygov Signal Coverage “It is impossible to receive many LA stations outside of their coverage areas FM signals are only line-of-sight If you were driving US 101 to go home you would probably lose a lot of signals when you get through the Santa Monica Mountains and descend into Camarillo From there you will be hearing stations from Ventura and Santa Barbara The only two AM stations I can count on to be heard anywhere in Southern California are KFI and KNX Too bad management at the LA stations are messing up with the excessive commercials This will chase away a lot of listeners on-line Congratulations on becoming a grandfather very soon I hope everything will go smoothly with your daughter’s pregnancy Thanks again for a fine column today” – Dan Ramos Joshua Tree Angels Broadcaster Ron Fairly Dies November 1 2019 Ron Fairly the former Dodger and play-by-play announcer for the California

disasters Yesterday KNX reporter Pete Demetriou was very up-close to the Easy Fire burning in Simi Valley – almost too close Here’s a link to his report: Jared Charles Kliger offers his praise of Demitriou’s work: I just heard a captivating fire update from Pete Demetriou on KNX On the one hand it was live radio at its best On the other I’m sure I’m not the only one who was afraid for his life as he spoke As he stood at the edge of the 23 Freeway he said that the temperature had risen from about 70 to about 100 degrees ‘in the last 30 seconds’ Then a few seconds later he said that the temperature had now risen to ‘about 150′ Pete said he was being showered with ash and burning embers as he spoke Seconds later he described a helicopter flying overhead and then said that he was covered in pink fire retardant He said that the entire hill of trees that had been in front of him had just been destroyed in a matter of seconds by the raging fireWe are correct in commending and empathizing with the firefighting teams who are risking their lives and living without real sleep through fire after fire Still we should also note our local reporters are also going above and beyond
