For a sneak peek at what you’ll get for 4495 scroll down to What’s In The Fighting Chance Package The Dealer Invoice Price Has Become a Bloated Imposter That Has Had Nothing To Do With Any New Car’s Real Cost For Over Twenty Years! And The Industry Moves It Further From Any Cost As noted above Bragg proved it to senior execs of Consumer Reports Kelley Blue Book Edmunds Carscom and TrueCar in a 11/27/12 USA TODAY Automotive Roundtable discussion of whether online car shopping and information services are believable and are relevant in today’s market The centerpiece of that meeting was the bombshell exhibit that shocked them To see it Click here You could have heard a pin drop Incredibly no one was aware of a game-changing fact that had been in front of their noses for 17 years! It’s their worst nightmare because it exposes their pay what others paid as terrible advice Bragg asked the Consumer Reports person Who’s been running your New Car Price Service for the past 20 years Rip Van Winkle He was not amused To read much of the USA TODAY Don’t Trust That Invoice Price write-up on that meeting in which Bragg was dubbed a peppery contrarian click here To understand how laughable new-car pricing is today check out the tiny percentage differences between the base invoice and retail/sticker prices for each brand: Acura/5-7 Audi/7 BMW/6 Buick/4-5 Cadillac/5 Chevy/5-7 Dodge/3-4 Ford/1-7 Genesis/5-7 GMC/5-7 Honda/3-9 Hyundai/3-7 Infiniti/7 Jeep/2-5 Kia/5-7 Lexus/5-8 Lincoln/4-5 Mazda/3-5 Mercedes/7 Mitsubishi/2-3 Nissan/2-7 Ram/4-9 Subaru/5-7 Toyota/4-9 VW/4-5 Volvo/6 And that’s if you pay the full sticker price! Who does that The guy who thinks Taco Bell is a Mexican phone company Add the fact that dealerships have an overhead expense of 12 to 15 of revenue and you’d have to be brain dead to believe the invoice price is in the same area code as any cost number The auto industry is having a good laugh at how gullible we are It’s even flipping us off now with pricing for the Chrysler Pacific Hybrid minivan: invoice 44895 retail 44995! Yet all the info and advice on those big auto-info websites is based on our swallowing – hook line and sinker – the preposterous notion that for decades automakers have been telling everyone what their dealers pay for their cars If that were true dealers would go ballistic But they don’t and they never did even before the Internet arrived Your responsibility as a person is to constantly update your positions on as many things as possible If you don’t contradict yourself regularly you’re not thinking – Malcolm Gladwell The inside story of the discovery of that game-changing fact is told in our book Letting The Cat Out Of The Bag: How The Auto Industry ‘Redesigned’ The Dealer invoice Price When The Internet Arrived available in paperback and Kindle format at Amazon To read the back cover copy Preface Table of Contents and the first four chapters click here If you’d like a author-signed copy 1495 including postage you can add that to your order for the Fighting Chance information package Here’s Bragg’s Take On Those Consumer Auto Pricing Sites Those sites are: a pitching the range of what other clueless shoppers have paid as the holy grail of transaction prices b using rebates which everyone gets and a comparison of their prices to the full sticker price which almost no one pays to inflate their claims of savings from using their services and c sending you on a ‘milk run’ to a small number of dealers in their networks who relish the thought of selling you a car at those prices and reward those conduit sites handsomely with the advertising and/or finder’s fees of 300 to 500 that comes out of your pocket Question: When you’re thinking about getting a new car are you sitting there saying Gee I hope I get a price that’s close to what everyone else is paying We don’t get to choose what is trueWe only get to choose what we do about it – Kami Garcia These Are The Facts About How Most Dealer Incentive Programs Work Today It’s 2017 not 1994 and that world isn’t flat anymore it’s round 90 of the bucks spent on dealer cash are in multi-month programs based on total sales targets and issues like customers’ ratings of their selling dealerships NOT sales of specific vehicles The rewards can be five to six-figure bonuses Some are stair-step promotions in which per-vehicle bonuses increase as dealers reach higher volume thresholds And no one can tell you any dealership’s target or performance level or when these programs start and end So reaching month-end goals along the way is crucially important There’s a lot of seasonality in the business and dealers can’t go into the last month 15 behind where they should have been based on that seasonal pattern That keeps steady sales pressure on month after month Dealers trailing their monthly targets near month-end will sell for much less and that’s likely to be different dealers each month WHAT’S IN THE FIGHTING CHANCE PACKAGE You’ll have the only independent unbiased source of truthful information

month to start the process You’ll receive our signature Big Picture analysis of how the brands and the specific vehicles you’re interested in have been doing in the market Are sales up or down so far this year Does the average dealer sell 2 per month or 22 This piece also reveals the current holdback information for brands that use it several don’t You’ll get the complete current sticker/MSRP and dealer invoice pricing data for the vehicles you’re considering covering all the trim levels and equipment packages Here’s a current list of model pricing available You’ll also get these insightful fact-based articles by Mr Bragg most of them information no other auto-info site will tell you Focus only on those relevant to your purchase or lease How We Abandoned Our Inborn Common Sense About New-Car Pricing How The Industry Has Turned The Invoice Price Into A Bloated ImposterBy Continually Raising It By More Than The MSRP For Over Two Decades How New-Car Dealers Make The Big Bucks And How They Don’t Today Incentives Often Differ From Market To Market Here’s How To Check The Offers Where You Are The Two Big ‘Fake News’ Come-ons To Ignore The Myth Of Vehicle-Specific Dealer Cash

changing realities in the retail car business Sometimes the changes are dramatic For example the method for getting competitive bids differs substantially from the arms-length/one-step fax or email attack process we recommended several years ago At other times the changes are small but represent worthwhile improvements The suggested wording in the note you’ll send dealers is fine-tuned often The package you’d receive today will typically include several insightful changes compared to the one you ordered years ago The Cost Of This Unique Package 4495 Includes all the information you need for any one vehicle Additional vehicles: 1500 each More than half of our customers add one or more additional vehicles as fall-back alternatives This could become a small but wise 1500 decision if you find it difficult to deal on your first choice Considering the substantial cost of the new vehicle you’re about to buy or lease isn’t this a relatively small price to pay for the comprehensive Fighting Chance information package Important Note: This is a service for NEW VEHICLES ONLY We have no information on used vehicles Also we have NO CANADIAN PRICING DATA Copyright © 2017 Fighting

It’s their worst nightmare because it exposes their pay what others paid as terrible advice Bragg asked the Consumer Reports person Who’s been running your New Car Price Service for the past 20 years Rip Van Winkle He was not amused To read much of the USA TODAY Don’t Trust That Invoice Price write-up on that meeting in which Bragg was dubbed a peppery contrarian click here To understand how laughable new-car pricing is today check out the tiny percentage differences between the base invoice and retail/sticker prices for each brand: Acura/5-7 Audi/7 BMW/6 Buick/4-5 Cadillac/5 Chevy/5-7 Dodge/3-4 Ford/1-7 Genesis/5-7 GMC/5-7 Honda/3-9 Hyundai/3-7 Infiniti/7 Jeep/2-5 Kia/5-7 Lexus/5-8 Lincoln/4-5 Mazda/3-5 Mercedes/7 Mitsubishi/2-3 Nissan/2-7 Ram/4-9 Subaru/5-7 Toyota/4-9 VW/4-5 Volvo/6 And that’s if you pay the full sticker price! Who does that The guy who thinks Taco Bell is a Mexican phone company Add the fact that dealerships have an overhead expense of 12 to 15 of revenue and you’d have to be brain dead to believe the invoice price is in the same area code as any cost number The auto industry is having a good laugh at how gullible we are It’s even flipping us off now with pricing for the Chrysler Pacific Hybrid minivan: invoice 44895 retail 44995! Yet all the info and advice on those big auto-info websites is based on our swallowing – hook line and sinker – the preposterous notion that for decades automakers have been telling everyone what their dealers pay for their cars If that were true dealers would go ballistic But they don’t and they never did even before the Internet arrived Your responsibility as a person is to constantly update your positions on as many things as possible If you don’t contradict yourself regularly you’re not thinking – Malcolm Gladwell The inside story of the discovery of that game-changing fact is told in our book Letting The Cat Out Of The Bag: How The Auto Industry ‘Redesigned’ The Dealer invoice Price When The Internet Arrived available in paperback and Kindle format at Amazon To read the back cover copy Preface Table of Contents and the first four chapters click here If you’d like a author-signed copy 1495 including postage you can add that to your order for the Fighting Chance information package Here’s Bragg’s Take On Those Consumer Auto Pricing Sites Those sites are: a pitching the range of what other clueless shoppers have paid as the holy grail of transaction prices b using rebates which everyone gets and a comparison of their prices to the full sticker price which almost no one pays to inflate their claims of savings from using their services and c sending you on a ‘milk run’ to a small number of dealers in their networks who relish the thought of selling you a car at those prices and reward those conduit sites handsomely with the advertising and/or finder’s fees of 300 to 500 that comes out of your pocket Question: When you’re thinking about getting a new car are you sitting there saying Gee I hope I get a price that’s close to what everyone else is paying We don’t get to choose what is trueWe only get to choose what we do about it – Kami Garcia These Are The Facts About How Most Dealer Incentive Programs Work Today It’s 2017 not 1994 and that world isn’t flat anymore it’s round 90 of the bucks spent on dealer cash are in multi-month programs based on total sales targets and issues like customers’ ratings of their selling dealerships NOT sales of specific vehicles The rewards can be five to six-figure bonuses Some are stair-step promotions in which per-vehicle bonuses increase as dealers reach higher volume thresholds And no one can tell you any dealership’s target or performance level or when these programs start and end So reaching month-end goals along the way is crucially important There’s a lot of seasonality in the business and dealers can’t go into the last month 15 behind where they should have been based on that seasonal pattern That keeps steady sales pressure on month after month Dealers trailing their monthly targets near month-end will sell for much less and that’s likely to be different dealers each month WHAT’S IN THE FIGHTING CHANCE PACKAGE You’ll have the only independent unbiased source of truthful information

anymore it’s round 90 of the bucks spent on dealer cash are in multi-month programs based on total sales targets and issues like customers’ ratings of their selling dealerships NOT sales of specific vehicles The rewards can be five to six-figure bonuses Some are stair-step promotions in which per-vehicle bonuses increase as dealers reach higher volume thresholds And no one can tell you any dealership’s target or performance level or when these programs start and end So reaching month-end goals along the way is crucially important There’s a lot of seasonality in the business and dealers can’t go into the last month 15 behind where they should have been based on that seasonal pattern That keeps steady sales pressure on month after month Dealers trailing their monthly targets near

No Auto-Info Site Can Serve Two Masters He Serves Just One: You The New-Car Buyer Founder James Bragg a Yale and Harvard Business School graduate is a career-long change agent who has always challenged conventional wisdom With 20 years and over 65000 hours focused solely on this subject he’s the country’s most knowledgeable new-car buyers’ consumer advocate And unlike every old-boy club source of new-car info and advice including Consumer Reports he’s never taken a dime from dealers or automakers As a result he’s become the sole source of the long-hidden truth about the dealer invoice price dealer cash incentives and the only smart way to buy a new car in today’s market His Discovery That The Invoice Price Has Nothing To Do WithAny Dealer Cost Shocked Consumer Reports Into Killing ItsNew Car Price Service a major cash cow Since 1983! In November 2012 he proved to that organization and four other auto-info biggies that the dealer invoice price has had no relationship to any vehicle’s cost since 1994 invalidating the core assumption behind their target price advice The effectiveness of that ancient invoice-based negotiating approach is dead as a doornail Embarrassed by its two-decade failure to recognize that obvious fact Consumer Reports dumped its legendary ‘cash cow’ New Car Price Service – the one they claimed would tell you the dealer’s true cost which hasn’t been true for 20 years Can there be any stronger evidence that the way to get the best price has changed forever It is almost impossible to carry the torch of truth through a crowd without singeing somebody’s beard – George Christoph Lichtenberg MAY SHOULD BE AN EXCELLENT MONTH FOR NEW-CAR SHOPPING It’s the third month of the March-August peak-demand period when dealers push most aggressively for sales New car sales slipped 18 last year to 172 million about 300000 units behind 2016 January-April sales were flat inching up just 02 from year-ago helped mainly by increased fleet sales to rental car companies and businesses Overall sales are forecast to drop below 17 million this year for the first time in three years with current estimates between 167 and 169 million The market is more competitive than ever with automakers spending more on incentives to move the metal That puts you in the driver’s seat Why am I the only one telling you these important facts Because a my competitors aren’t curious enough to dig them out and/or b if they revealed them they’d jeopardize their entire revenue stream which comes from dealers and automakers not you For 25 years I’ve been on a mission to unearth and expose the long-hidden truths that Consumer Reports TrueCar Edmunds Carscom Kelley Blue Book and the auto industry don’t want you to know Those facts demolish all their conventional wisdom about how to buy a car and they transfer the negotiating leverage from the dealers to you Isn’t it time you stopped looking at the way to buy a new car through their rear-view mirrors PS Will you visit me when I enter the witness protection program JAMES BRAGG HOW TO ORDER THE PACKAGE AND WHEN AND HOW YOU’LL GET IT To place an order on our secure encrypted order form click on the Ordering link in the upper left column If you’d prefer to place a phone order or if you have questions that aren’t answered on our web site you may call our order desk at 1-562-433-8489 between 9:15AM and 4:00PM Pacific time Monday through Friday To see the vehicles for which we have pricing info click on the Auto Pricing link in that column Normal Delivery Timing: 99 of our customers request email delivery This is a two-person information boutique We usually send email orders by the next business day If we get swamped it could take another day or two We’ll be here 562-433-8489 to answer your questions and analyze your best lease offer weekdays between 9:15 AM and 4:00 PM Pacific time For a sneak peek at what you’ll get for 4495 scroll down to What’s In The Fighting Chance Package The Dealer Invoice Price Has Become a Bloated Imposter That Has Had Nothing To Do With Any New Car’s Real Cost For Over Twenty Years!

And The Industry Moves It Further From Any Cost As noted above Bragg proved it to senior execs of Consumer Reports Kelley Blue Book Edmunds Carscom and TrueCar in a 11/27/12 USA TODAY Automotive Roundtable discussion of whether online car shopping and information services are believable and are relevant in today’s market The centerpiece of that meeting was the bombshell exhibit that shocked them To see it Click here You could have heard a pin drop Incredibly no one was aware of a game-changing fact that had been in front of their noses for 17 years! It’s their worst nightmare because it exposes their pay what others paid as terrible advice Bragg asked the Consumer Reports person Who’s been running your New Car Price Service for the past 20 years Rip Van Winkle He was not amused To read much of the USA TODAY Don’t Trust That Invoice Price write-up on that meeting in which Bragg was dubbed a peppery contrarian click here To understand how laughable new-car pricing is today check out the tiny percentage differences between the base invoice and retail/sticker prices for each brand: Acura/5-7 Audi/7 BMW/6 Buick/4-5 Cadillac/5 Chevy/5-7 Dodge/3-4 Ford/1-7 Genesis/5-7 GMC/5-7 Honda/3-9 Hyundai/3-7 Infiniti/7 Jeep/2-5 Kia/5-7 Lexus/5-8 Lincoln/4-5 Mazda/3-5 Mercedes/7 Mitsubishi/2-3 Nissan/2-7 Ram/4-9 Subaru/5-7 Toyota/4-9 VW/4-5 Volvo/6 And that’s if you pay the full sticker price! Who does that The guy who thinks Taco Bell is a Mexican phone company Add the fact that dealerships have an overhead expense of 12 to 15 of revenue and you’d have to be brain dead to believe the invoice price is in the same area code as any cost number The auto industry is having a good laugh at how gullible we are It’s even flipping us off now with pricing for the Chrysler Pacific Hybrid minivan: invoice 44895 retail 44995! Yet all the info and advice on those big auto-info websites is based on our swallowing – hook line and sinker – the preposterous notion that for decades automakers have been telling everyone what their dealers pay for their cars If that were true dealers would go ballistic But they don’t and they never did even before the Internet arrived Your responsibility as a person is to constantly update your positions on as many things as possible If you don’t contradict yourself regularly you’re not thinking – Malcolm Gladwell The inside story of the discovery of that game-changing fact is told in our book Letting The Cat Out Of The Bag: How The Auto Industry ‘Redesigned’ The Dealer invoice Price When The Internet Arrived available in paperback and Kindle format at Amazon To read the back cover copy Preface Table of Contents and the first four chapters click here If you’d like a author-signed copy 1495 including postage you can add that to your order for the Fighting Chance information package Here’s Bragg’s Take On Those Consumer Auto Pricing Sites Those sites are: a pitching the range of what other clueless shoppers have paid as the holy grail of transaction prices b using rebates which everyone gets and a comparison of their prices to the full sticker price which almost no one pays to inflate their claims of savings from using their services and c sending you on a ‘milk run’ to a small number of dealers in their networks who relish the thought of selling you a car at those prices and reward those conduit sites handsomely with the advertising and/or finder’s fees of 300 to 500 that comes out of your pocket Question: When you’re thinking about getting a new car are you sitting there saying Gee I hope I get a price that’s close to what everyone else is paying We don’t get to choose what is trueWe only get to choose what we do about it – Kami Garcia These Are The Facts About How Most Dealer Incentive Programs Work Today It’s 2017 not 1994 and that world isn’t flat anymore it’s round 90 of the bucks spent on dealer cash are in multi-month programs based on total sales targets and issues like customers’ ratings of their selling dealerships NOT sales of specific vehicles The rewards can be five to six-figure bonuses Some are stair-step promotions in which per-vehicle bonuses increase as dealers reach higher volume thresholds And no one can tell you any dealership’s target or performance level or when these programs start and end So reaching month-end goals along the way is crucially important There’s a lot of seasonality in the business and dealers can’t go into the last month 15 behind where they should have been based on that seasonal pattern That keeps steady sales pressure on month after month Dealers trailing their monthly targets near month-end will sell for much less and that’s likely to be different dealers each month WHAT’S IN THE FIGHTING CHANCE PACKAGE You’ll have the only independent unbiased source of truthful information and powerful negotiating advice on the Internet We’ve been focused single-mindedly on this subject since before the Dead Sea got sick and much of our knowledge has come from our customers’ feedback

To understand how laughable new-car pricing is today check out the tiny percentage differences between the base invoice and retail/sticker prices for each brand: Acura/5-7 Audi/7 BMW/6 Buick/4-5 Cadillac/5 Chevy/5-7 Dodge/3-4 Ford/1-7 Genesis/5-7 GMC/5-7 Honda/3-9 Hyundai/3-7 Infiniti/7 Jeep/2-5 Kia/5-7 Lexus/5-8 Lincoln/4-5 Mazda/3-5 Mercedes/7 Mitsubishi/2-3 Nissan/2-7 Ram/4-9 Subaru/5-7 Toyota/4-9 VW/4-5 Volvo/6 And that’s if you pay the full sticker price! Who does that The guy who thinks Taco Bell is a Mexican phone company Add the fact that dealerships have an overhead expense of 12 to 15 of revenue and you’d have to be brain dead to believe the invoice price is in the same area code as any cost number The auto industry is having a good laugh at how gullible we are It’s even flipping us off now with pricing for the Chrysler Pacific Hybrid minivan: invoice 44895 retail 44995!

It’s their worst nightmare because it exposes their pay what others paid as terrible advice Bragg asked the Consumer Reports person Who’s been running your New Car Price Service for the past 20 years Rip Van Winkle He was not amused To read much of the USA TODAY Don’t Trust That Invoice Price write-up on that meeting in which Bragg was dubbed a peppery contrarian click here To understand how laughable new-car pricing is today check out the tiny percentage differences between the base invoice and retail/sticker prices for each brand: Acura/5-7 Audi/7 BMW/6 Buick/4-5 Cadillac/5 Chevy/5-7 Dodge/3-4 Ford/1-7 Genesis/5-7 GMC/5-7 Honda/3-9 Hyundai/3-7 Infiniti/7 Jeep/2-5 Kia/5-7 Lexus/5-8 Lincoln/4-5 Mazda/3-5 Mercedes/7 Mitsubishi/2-3 Nissan/2-7 Ram/4-9 Subaru/5-7 Toyota/4-9 VW/4-5 Volvo/6 And that’s if you pay the full sticker price! Who does that The guy who thinks Taco Bell is a Mexican phone company Add the fact that dealerships have an overhead expense of 12 to 15 of revenue and you’d have to be brain dead to believe the invoice price is in the same area code as any cost number The auto industry is having a good laugh at how gullible we are It’s even flipping us off now with pricing for the Chrysler Pacific Hybrid minivan: invoice 44895 retail 44995! Yet all the info and advice on those big auto-info websites is based on our swallowing – hook line and sinker – the preposterous notion that for decades automakers have been telling everyone what their dealers pay for their cars If that were true dealers would go ballistic But they don’t and they never did even before the Internet arrived Your responsibility as a person is to constantly update your positions on as many things as possible If you don’t contradict yourself regularly you’re not thinking – Malcolm Gladwell The inside story of the discovery of that game-changing fact is told in our book Letting The Cat Out Of The Bag: How The Auto Industry ‘Redesigned’ The Dealer invoice Price When The Internet Arrived available in paperback and Kindle format at Amazon To read the back cover copy Preface Table of Contents and the first four chapters click here If you’d like a author-signed copy 1495 including postage you can add that to your order for the Fighting Chance information package Here’s Bragg’s Take On Those Consumer Auto Pricing Sites Those sites are: a pitching the range of what other clueless shoppers have paid as the holy grail of transaction prices b using rebates which everyone gets and a comparison of their prices to the full sticker price which almost no one pays to inflate their claims of savings from using their services and c sending you on a ‘milk run’ to a small number of dealers in their networks who relish the thought of selling you a car at those prices and reward those conduit sites handsomely with the advertising and/or finder’s fees of 300 to 500 that comes out of your pocket Question: When you’re thinking about getting a new car are you sitting there saying Gee I hope I get a price that’s close to what everyone else is paying We don’t get to choose what is trueWe only get to choose what we do about it – Kami Garcia These Are The Facts About How Most Dealer Incentive Programs Work Today It’s 2017 not 1994 and that world isn’t flat anymore it’s round 90 of the bucks spent on dealer cash are in multi-month programs based on total sales targets and issues like customers’ ratings of their selling dealerships NOT sales of specific vehicles The rewards can be five to six-figure bonuses Some are stair-step promotions in which per-vehicle bonuses increase as dealers reach higher volume thresholds And no one can tell you any dealership’s target or performance level or when these programs start and end So reaching month-end goals along the way is crucially important There’s a lot of seasonality in the business and dealers can’t go into the last month 15 behind where they should have been based on that seasonal pattern That keeps steady sales pressure on month after month Dealers trailing their monthly targets near month-end will sell for much less and that’s likely to be different dealers each month WHAT’S IN THE FIGHTING CHANCE PACKAGE You’ll have the only independent unbiased source of truthful information

With this empowering guide to buying or leasing a new car you’ll be in total control conducting the process from your home or office among several dealers that you choose The guide teaches you exactly what to say and do and when to do it And unlike every other new-car info site we’ll be here to answer your questions by phone every step of the way eg If you’re leasing we’ll go through the best-offer numbers with you before you sign the papers You Need The Whole Truth About The New-Car Business And This Is The Only Website Where You’ll Find It WARNING! Because I’m opening your eyes to the truth they’ve all been hiding our facts and action recommendations contradict EVERYTHING you’re being told and encouraged to do by TrueCar Edmunds Kelley Blue Book Carscom Consumer Reports and the other new-car info sites which get all their revenue from the automakers and dealers they send you to For openers no dealer wants you to understand this: Every new car is a commodity the same vehicle with the same price structure at every dealership In the art of the deal the winner is always the one with the leverage And there’s ZERO LEVERAGE in walking into a car store and haggling You’re playing an away game and no one there is rooting for your team That dealer’s competitor isn’t the other brands it’s the other dealers who sell his brand And the winning leverage always comes from having several of them compete for your business Here’s an example: A customer got 9 dealers to compete for a redesigned 2017 Honda CR-V without leaving his home or office and paid 1090 below invoice The eight other bids were 900 below 510 below 410 below 180 below and 300 over invoice 460 over 530 over and 930 over – a 2020 spread from low to high! The winning Sales Manager said This is the only smart way to buy a car But if everyone did it this way we’d be out of business And that store may have been the next month’s high bidder depending on how it was doing then vs its target Question: What should we have told him was a good price for that car Any number we mentioned would have been bone stupid And that’s true for any car you want Either you repeat the same conventional doctrines everybody is saying or else you say something true and it will sound like it’s from Neptune – Noam Chomsky Why aren’t those auto-info old-boy clubs Kelley Blue Book Edmunds TrueCar carscom Consumer Reports etc telling you this Because they pocket 300 to 500 when you buy a car from dealers in their networks – money which comes from your pocket They’re in business to help dealers sell cars profitably not to help you get the lowest price If they told you the truth they’d be out of business tomorrow Our customers almost always beat their prices frequently by a lot That’s why over half of our orders come from previous customers and their referrals No Auto-Info Site Can Serve Two Masters He Serves Just One: You The New-Car Buyer Founder James Bragg a Yale and Harvard Business School graduate is a career-long change agent who has always challenged conventional wisdom With 20 years and over 65000 hours focused solely on this subject he’s the country’s most knowledgeable new-car buyers’ consumer advocate And unlike every old-boy club source of new-car info and advice including Consumer Reports he’s never taken a dime from dealers or automakers As a result he’s become the sole source of the long-hidden truth about the dealer invoice price dealer cash incentives and the only smart way to buy a new car in today’s market His Discovery That The Invoice Price Has Nothing To Do WithAny Dealer Cost Shocked Consumer Reports Into Killing ItsNew Car Price Service a major cash cow Since 1983! In November 2012 he proved to that organization and four other auto-info biggies that the dealer invoice price has had no relationship to any vehicle’s cost since 1994 invalidating the core assumption behind their target price advice The effectiveness of that ancient invoice-based negotiating approach is dead as a doornail Embarrassed by its two-decade failure to recognize that obvious fact Consumer Reports dumped its legendary ‘cash cow’ New Car Price Service – the one they claimed would tell you the dealer’s true cost which hasn’t been true for 20 years Can there be any stronger evidence that the way to get the best price has changed forever It is almost impossible to carry the torch of truth through a crowd without singeing somebody’s beard – George Christoph Lichtenberg MAY SHOULD BE AN EXCELLENT MONTH FOR NEW-CAR SHOPPING It’s the third month of the March-August peak-demand period when dealers push most aggressively for sales New car sales slipped 18 last year to 172 million about 300000 units behind 2016 January-April sales were flat inching up just 02 from year-ago helped mainly by increased fleet sales to rental car companies and businesses Overall sales are forecast to drop below 17 million this year for the first time in three years with current estimates between 167 and 169 million The market is more competitive than ever with automakers spending more on incentives to move the metal That puts you in the driver’s seat Why am I the only one telling you these important facts Because a my competitors aren’t curious enough to dig them out and/or b if they revealed them they’d jeopardize their entire revenue stream which comes from dealers and automakers not you For 25 years I’ve been on a mission to unearth and expose the long-hidden truths that Consumer Reports TrueCar Edmunds Carscom Kelley Blue Book and the auto industry don’t want you to know Those facts demolish all their conventional wisdom about how to buy a car and they transfer the negotiating leverage from the dealers to you Isn’t it time you stopped looking at the way to buy a new car through their rear-view mirrors PS Will you visit me when I enter the witness protection program JAMES BRAGG HOW TO ORDER THE PACKAGE AND WHEN AND HOW YOU’LL GET IT To place an order on our secure encrypted order form click on the Ordering link in the upper left column If you’d prefer to place a phone order or if you have questions that aren’t answered on our web site you may call our order desk at 1-562-433-8489 between 9:15AM and 4:00PM Pacific time Monday through Friday To see the vehicles for which we have pricing info click on the Auto Pricing link in that column Normal Delivery Timing: 99 of our customers request email delivery This is a two-person information boutique We usually send email orders by the next business day If we get swamped it could take another day or two We’ll be here 562-433-8489 to answer your questions and analyze your best lease offer weekdays between 9:15 AM and 4:00 PM Pacific time For a sneak peek at what you’ll get for 4495 scroll down to What’s In The Fighting Chance Package The Dealer Invoice Price Has Become a Bloated Imposter That Has Had Nothing To Do With Any New Car’s Real Cost For Over Twenty Years! And The Industry Moves It Further From Any Cost As noted above Bragg proved it to senior execs of Consumer Reports Kelley Blue Book Edmunds Carscom and TrueCar in a 11/27/12 USA TODAY Automotive Roundtable discussion of whether online car shopping and information services are believable and are relevant in today’s market The centerpiece of that meeting was the bombshell exhibit that shocked them To see it Click here You could have heard a pin drop Incredibly no one was aware of a game-changing fact that had been in front of their noses for 17 years! It’s their worst nightmare because it exposes their pay what others paid as terrible advice Bragg asked the Consumer Reports person Who’s been running your New Car Price Service for the past 20 years Rip Van Winkle He was not amused To read much of the USA TODAY Don’t Trust That Invoice Price write-up on that meeting in which Bragg was dubbed a peppery contrarian click here To understand how laughable new-car pricing is today check out the tiny percentage differences between the base invoice and retail/sticker prices for each brand: Acura/5-7 Audi/7 BMW/6 Buick/4-5 Cadillac/5 Chevy/5-7 Dodge/3-4 Ford/1-7 Genesis/5-7 GMC/5-7 Honda/3-9 Hyundai/3-7 Infiniti/7 Jeep/2-5 Kia/5-7 Lexus/5-8 Lincoln/4-5 Mazda/3-5 Mercedes/7 Mitsubishi/2-3 Nissan/2-7 Ram/4-9 Subaru/5-7 Toyota/4-9 VW/4-5 Volvo/6 And that’s if you pay the full sticker price! Who does that The guy who thinks Taco Bell is a Mexican phone company Add the fact that dealerships have an overhead expense of 12 to 15 of revenue and you’d have to be brain dead to believe the invoice price is in the same area code as any cost number The auto industry is having a good laugh at how gullible we are It’s even flipping us off now with pricing for the Chrysler Pacific Hybrid minivan: invoice 44895 retail 44995! Yet all the info and advice on those big auto-info websites is based on our swallowing – hook line and sinker – the preposterous notion that for decades automakers have been telling everyone what their dealers pay for their cars If that were true dealers would go ballistic But they don’t and they never did even before the Internet arrived Your responsibility as a person is to constantly update your positions on as many things as possible If you don’t contradict yourself regularly you’re not thinking – Malcolm Gladwell The inside story of the discovery of that game-changing fact is told in

which everyone gets and a comparison of their prices to the full sticker price which almost no one pays to inflate their claims of savings from using their services and c sending you on a ‘milk run’ to a small number of dealers in their networks who relish the thought of selling you a car at those prices and reward those conduit sites handsomely with the advertising and/or finder’s fees of 300 to 500 that comes out of your pocket Question: When you’re thinking about getting a new car are you sitting there saying Gee I hope I get a price that’s close to what everyone else is paying We don’t get to choose what is trueWe only get to choose what we do about it – Kami Garcia These Are The Facts About How Most Dealer Incentive Programs Work Today It’s 2017 not 1994 and that world isn’t flat anymore it’s round 90 of the bucks spent on dealer cash are in multi-month programs based on total sales targets and issues like customers’ ratings of their selling dealerships NOT sales of specific vehicles The rewards can be five to six-figure bonuses Some are stair-step promotions in which per-vehicle bonuses increase as dealers reach higher volume thresholds And no one can tell you any dealership’s target or performance level or when these programs start and end So reaching month-end goals along the way is crucially important There’s a lot of seasonality in the business and dealers

In November 2012 he proved to that organization and four other auto-info biggies that the dealer invoice price has had no relationship to any vehicle’s cost since 1994 invalidating the core assumption behind their target price advice The effectiveness of that ancient invoice-based negotiating approach is dead as a doornail Embarrassed by its two-decade failure to recognize that obvious fact Consumer Reports dumped its legendary ‘cash cow’ New Car Price Service – the one they claimed would tell you the dealer’s true cost which hasn’t been true for 20 years Can there be any stronger evidence that the way to get the best price has changed forever It is almost impossible to carry the torch of truth through a crowd without singeing somebody’s beard – George Christoph Lichtenberg MAY SHOULD BE AN EXCELLENT MONTH FOR NEW-CAR SHOPPING It’s the third month of the March-August peak-demand period when dealers push most aggressively for sales New car sales slipped 18 last year to 172 million about 300000 units behind 2016 January-April sales were flat inching up just 02 from year-ago helped mainly by increased fleet sales to rental car companies and businesses Overall sales are forecast to drop below 17 million this year for the first time in three years with current estimates between 167 and 169 million The market is more competitive than ever with automakers spending more on incentives to move the metal That puts you in the driver’s seat Why am I the only one telling you these important facts Because a my competitors aren’t curious enough to dig them out and/or b if they revealed them they’d jeopardize their entire revenue stream which comes from dealers and automakers not you For 25 years I’ve been on a mission to unearth and expose the long-hidden truths that Consumer Reports TrueCar Edmunds Carscom Kelley Blue Book and the auto industry don’t want you to know Those facts demolish all their conventional wisdom about how to buy a car and they transfer the negotiating leverage from the dealers to you Isn’t it time you stopped looking at the way to buy a new car through their rear-view mirrors PS Will you visit me when I enter the witness protection program JAMES BRAGG HOW TO ORDER THE PACKAGE AND WHEN AND HOW YOU’LL GET IT To place an order on our secure encrypted order form click on the Ordering link in the upper left column If you’d prefer to place a phone order or if you have questions that aren’t answered on our web site you may call our order desk at 1-562-433-8489 between 9:15AM and 4:00PM Pacific time Monday through Friday To see the vehicles for which we have pricing info click on the Auto Pricing link in that column Normal Delivery Timing: 99 of our customers request email delivery This is a two-person information boutique We usually send email orders by the next business day If we get swamped it could take another day or two We’ll be here 562-433-8489 to answer your questions and analyze your best lease offer weekdays between 9:15 AM and 4:00 PM Pacific time For a sneak peek at what you’ll get for 4495 scroll down to What’s In The Fighting Chance Package The Dealer Invoice Price Has Become a Bloated Imposter That Has Had Nothing To Do With Any New Car’s Real Cost For Over Twenty Years! And The Industry Moves It Further From Any Cost As noted above Bragg proved it to senior execs of Consumer Reports Kelley Blue Book Edmunds Carscom and TrueCar in a 11/27/12 USA TODAY Automotive Roundtable discussion of whether online car shopping and information services are believable and are relevant in today’s market The centerpiece of that meeting was the bombshell exhibit that shocked them To see it Click here You could have heard a pin drop Incredibly no one was aware of a game-changing fact that had been in front of their noses for 17 years! It’s their worst nightmare because it exposes their pay what others paid as terrible advice Bragg asked the Consumer Reports person Who’s been running your New Car Price Service for the past 20 years Rip Van Winkle He was not amused To read much of the USA TODAY Don’t Trust That Invoice Price write-up on that meeting in which Bragg was dubbed a peppery contrarian click here To understand how laughable new-car pricing is today check out the tiny percentage differences between the base invoice and retail/sticker prices for each brand: Acura/5-7 Audi/7 BMW/6 Buick/4-5 Cadillac/5 Chevy/5-7 Dodge/3-4 Ford/1-7 Genesis/5-7 GMC/5-7 Honda/3-9 Hyundai/3-7 Infiniti/7 Jeep/2-5 Kia/5-7 Lexus/5-8 Lincoln/4-5 Mazda/3-5 Mercedes/7 Mitsubishi/2-3 Nissan/2-7 Ram/4-9 Subaru/5-7 Toyota/4-9 VW/4-5 Volvo/6 And that’s if you pay the full sticker price! Who does that The guy who thinks Taco Bell is a Mexican phone company Add the fact that dealerships have an overhead expense of 12 to 15 of revenue and you’d have to be brain dead to believe the invoice price is in the same area code as any cost number The auto industry is having a good laugh at how gullible we are It’s even flipping us off now with pricing for the Chrysler Pacific Hybrid minivan: invoice 44895 retail 44995! Yet all the info and advice on those big auto-info websites is based on our swallowing – hook line and sinker – the preposterous notion that for decades automakers have been telling everyone what their dealers pay for their cars If that were true dealers would go ballistic But they don’t and they never did even before the Internet arrived Your responsibility as a person is to constantly update your positions on as many things as possible If you don’t contradict yourself regularly you’re not thinking – Malcolm Gladwell The inside story of the discovery of that game-changing fact is told in

copy Preface Table of Contents and the first four chapters click here If you’d like a author-signed copy 1495 including postage you can add that to your order for the Fighting Chance information package Here’s Bragg’s Take On Those Consumer Auto Pricing Sites Those sites are: a pitching the range of what other clueless shoppers have paid as the holy grail of transaction prices b using rebates which everyone gets and a comparison of their prices to the full sticker price which almost no one pays to inflate their claims of savings from using their services and c sending you on a ‘milk run’ to a small number of dealers in their networks who relish the thought of selling you a car at those prices and reward those conduit sites handsomely with the advertising and/or finder’s fees of 300 to 500 that comes out of your pocket Question: When you’re thinking about getting a new car are you sitting there saying Gee I hope I get a price that’s close to what everyone else is paying We don’t get to choose what is trueWe only get to choose what we do about it – Kami Garcia These Are The Facts About How Most Dealer Incentive Programs Work Today It’s 2017 not 1994 and that world isn’t flat anymore it’s round 90 of the bucks spent on dealer cash are in multi-month programs based on total sales targets and issues like customers’ ratings of their selling dealerships NOT sales of specific vehicles The rewards can be five to six-figure bonuses Some are stair-step promotions in which per-vehicle bonuses increase as dealers reach higher volume thresholds And no one can tell you any dealership’s target or performance level or when these programs start and end So reaching month-end goals along the way is crucially important There’s a lot of seasonality in the business and dealers can’t go into the last month 15 behind where they should have been based on that seasonal pattern That keeps steady sales pressure on month after month Dealers trailing their monthly targets near month-end will sell for much less and that’s likely to be different dealers each month WHAT’S IN THE FIGHTING CHANCE PACKAGE You’ll have the only independent unbiased source of truthful information

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!

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 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

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! 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!

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

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 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

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!

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

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!

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 Nostalgia Sunday – 12 Years Ago Today Johnny Hayes Be Good April 15 2006 Johnny Hayes has been part of LA Radio in five decades His unique and distinctive voice and presentation was part of the landscape at Top 40 KRLA and Oldies KRTH for most of that time For decades lunch was never lunch without Johnny’s “Big 11” countdown show His life story is filled with major tent poles the envy of any personality The legendary program director Bill Drake hired Johnny at WAKE-Atlanta on Johnny’s 21st birthday Johnny Bill Drake and Paul Drew were all on the air at WAKE together in 1961 Johnny was on the stage as part of the KRLA jock line-up at the Beatles concerts at the Hollywood Bowl and Dodger Stadium In 1983 and 1984 he won Billboard’s Personality of the Year and was the only non-morning drive winner in 1984 In the next few days you’ll read about his fascinating life the influence of Art Laboe on his career the week he was fired only to be rehired before the week was out and how the pd that fired him was himself fired his friendship with Bill Drake KRLA as the “Avis” of Top 40 radio always trying harder behind KFWB or KHJ the role that Emperor Bob Hudson play in his life and life without K-EARTH “A very vivid early recollection of radio was sitting with my mama my daddy and my grandparents around the radio listening to Gabriel Heater who gave war news in World WarII” reminisced Johnny over lunch at a trendy restaurant in North Hollywood “Listening to the war news was very very important Radio stations would normally broadcast orchestras or bands from hotels and big showrooms live on the air When WWII ended I’d say from 1945 on the Big Bands were touring but it came to a point where it was no longer practical or economical to get 40 50 60 people in buses and take them around the country to broadcast live and be on radio stations And it was during this period the live band broadcasts gave way to more radio dramas and serials – ‘The Shadow’ ‘The Lone Ranger’ ‘Gangbusters and those shows It seems to me it was in the early 50s that I started hearing what later became known as disc jockeys” As a youngster Johnny used to press his ear up against the speaker of the family radio and he discovered that records sounded different according to what jock had played them “I started paying more and more attention to disc jockeys I visited a radio station in my hometown – Macon Georgia – met the program director and started hanging around the station” remembered Johnny “That’s the great thing about being born in a small town You could hang around a station and sit in the booth with a guy I was hired without any experience to do a show on a Saturday because the program director and his wife were having a party and he didn’t have anybody to take his place He put me on the air with no experience and that was the most terror I had ever known The records seemingly lasted for 5 seconds and I was so scared that I would not only let records run out but there were other records that no sooner did they start that I would pick the arm off of them while they were playing You’re laughing” He acknowledged that he has a recurring dream to this day – about being on the air at a station and everything going wrong “You can’t reach the mike switch Or you can’t get back the studio in time There was one thing I could never do and that is read 60 second live commercials And in my dreams I’m always given dozens of 60 second spots to read which are impossible In the 50s – and I went on the air in 1959 – they had to do a 15 minute world news round-up at the top of the hour and at the half hour there were 5 minute newscasts Well that was 20 minutes of news all live by the disc jockey There were hundreds of words I didn’t know how to pronounce There was a great deal of news during the late 50s about Patrice Lumumba and news people in Africa There was nobody that worked at the station that knew enough about world events to be able to even pronounce the words either They would just strike them out I would get to Patrice Lumumba and I would just blaze right over the record and go from the word before his name to the word after Sometimes on a newscast I would say ‘It’s June 35th 1959’ I never know what would come out of my mouth” Johnny’s grandfather was a cotton farmer in South Georgia Johnny’s dad attended the University of Georgia He was with the Georgia Power Company for almost 40 years Johnny’s father grew up in a little town called Sasser Georgia which coincidentally was next to a small town called Dawson the birthplace of Otis Redding “My mother was from another small town in Georgia Cochran and somehow they met in Macon and that’s where I was born in 1939” said Johnny “I never asked them or if I did I forgot how they met But in those days in the ‘30s people met at dances and things like that” Johnny said his parents had a wonderful marriage “They loved each other terribly I’m very grateful that I had the parents that I did There was no drinking in the house My mom spent all day long trying to make life a little more pleasant for daddy and me She’d get up at 6 or 7 in the morning and start shelling peas and start cooking You know in the South they start cooking around 9 10 11 in the morning for a 7 o’clock dinner You smell it all day long” He lost his mother first “She died in 1973 of pancreatic cancer Never been sick a day in her life She had the strength of a horse” said Johnny “One day she got sick and it was cancer Then my daddy lived until 1984 and he died of lung cancer though he had not smoked in over 40 years No I don’t know if the damage had already been done like Don Steele had not smoked in many decades yet he died of lung cancer Now I haven’t had a cigarette in 31 years and I recently told my doctor that I was losing so many friends and going to so many funerals and I told him ‘My friends are just dropping left and right none of them smoked none of them drank’ And he said ‘What should I do’ And I said ‘I’d like to have some X-rays done on my chest to see if I’ve got any problem’ Came out clean as a whistle…no damage from cigarettes Neither my mama nor my daddy had ever been sick a day in their life until they got sick and died” Johnny’s father never understood radio or his son’s success “My daddy was the son of a cotton farmer and he thought I should go to work for AS Hatcher Company which was a wholesale hardware company as a salesman He said ‘Those guys make good money’ I mean radio was all that was ever on my mind I didn’t know you could just walk into a station and luck had it that the guy had to go home and he put me on the air But that’s how my career started My daddy never understood it We had a conversation in 1963 when I was at KYA in San Francisco and he said ‘Johnny don’t you understand if you went to work at AS Hatcher Company you could be driving a nice car now’ And I said “Well daddy I have a new Cadillac Coupe DeVille and he just couldn’t grasp that you could be on the radio and get paid for it He wanted me to go to school and all sorts of things But I saved him a lot of money by not going to college in Georgia” Email Saturday

Scott I am Not a Victim – Larry Gifford April 13 2018 Wednesday was World Parkinson’s Day and it was the day that Larry Gifford former program director at KSPN announced for the first time publicly that he has been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease Larry starts his story with an observation from his son: “Daddy why’s your arm shaking” That question came one January night in 2017 “My outstretched arm was trying to hand my eight-year-old son a glass of water It was shaking uncontrollably I wouldn’t have an answer for my son for seven months when I was diagnosed His diagnosis officially arrived last August after months of tests to eliminate much scarier and deadly diseases “My symptoms were a disparate collection annoyances a shuffling foot-dragging walk tremors in my arm loss of coordination and balance and difficulties speaking sleeping and focusing sometimes I never linked the symptoms as one thing I assumed I was tired or my shoes were too heavy or I was just out of shape By the time I was diagnosed I probably had been battling the disease for a decade Symptoms began appearing three or four years ago and through those undiagnosed years doctors tell me I lost approximately eight per cent of my brain cells” Parkinson’s is a relentless degenerative disorder of the central nervous system It directly impacts nerves that handle motor functions for the body as a whole As the disease advances the body slows down arms and legs stiffen and shake with a whole slew of fun surprises arising “For me each day is different I take pills four to five times each day which control my tremors My whole right side is slower than my left The delay causes a shuffle drag or clomp in my walk and I can’t really run anymore without increasing my chances of a face plant not that I ran much to begin with” Read Larry’s honest details of what is happening with him Larry says he and his family create new memories each day that he hopes aren’t stolen by Parkinson’s In other

Being Set Up April 12 2018 Rich Lieberman watches over all things media in the Bay Area His ear is uncanny about what is going on Twice last week he heard syndicated Talker Michael Savage based in San Francisco say on the air in case I’m not here you can always get me on my website Facebook and Twitter Could Cumulus be screwing with him wondered Lieberman “More to the point could Savage be their latest cost-cutting victim It happened to Don Imus in NY it also effectively ended Ronn Owens run in the Bay Area after 42 years and there’s more cost-cutting on the way Why Cumulus is in the midst of a Chapter 11 Bankruptcy proceeding and is letting go of high-priced air talent those who make over six-figures are supposedly high on the hit list” Savage offered a terse no comment when Lieberman asked Savage via phone about the speculation about the conservative talker’s future He did indicate that his numbers are consistently high especially his streaming numbers Said Lieberman: “Oh Savage’s contract is up before the end of the year Might this be the opening round of negotiations – after all Cumulus will have a sufficient amount of operating cash after its BK is settled although that’s still being litigated by a judge who might not care about broadcast ratings Time will tell” News Is the Pitts Subscribers to LARadio received via email the news about the passing of VO agent Don Pitts

How To Buy Or Lease A New Car the Only Smart Way And Get The Best Price In The Market Every Time There are indispensable sea-changing facts about the new-car business that the industry and those auto-info websites have hidden from you for decades – facts that shift the negotiating leverage from the dealers to you Someone needed the hunger for the truth the tenacity to uncover it and the guts to reveal it to you I was the only candidate James Bragg As a result: 144258 new-car shoppers have used the Fighting Chance 3-step competitive bidding process to get the lowest price possible without walking into a single car store to haggle! With this empowering guide to buying or leasing a new car you’ll be in total control conducting the process from your home or office among several dealers that you choose The guide teaches you exactly what to say and do and when to do it And unlike every other new-car info site we’ll be here to answer your questions by phone every step of the way eg If you’re leasing we’ll go through the best-offer numbers with you before you sign the papers You Need The Whole Truth About The New-Car Business And This Is The Only Website Where You’ll Find It WARNING! Because I’m opening your eyes to the truth they’ve all been hiding our facts and action recommendations contradict EVERYTHING you’re being told and encouraged to do by TrueCar Edmunds Kelley Blue Book Carscom Consumer Reports and the other new-car info sites which get all their revenue from the automakers and dealers they send you to For openers no dealer wants you to understand this: Every new car is a commodity the same vehicle with the same price structure at every dealership In the art of the deal the winner is always the one with the leverage And there’s ZERO LEVERAGE in walking into a car store and haggling You’re playing an away game and no one there is rooting for your team That dealer’s competitor isn’t the other brands it’s the other dealers who sell his brand And the winning leverage always comes from having several of them compete for your business Here’s an example: A customer got 9 dealers to compete for a redesigned 2017 Honda CR-V without leaving his home or office and paid 1090 below invoice The eight other bids were 900 below 510 below 410 below 180 below and 300 over invoice 460 over 530 over and 930 over – a 2020 spread from low to high! The winning Sales Manager said This is the only smart way to buy a car But if everyone did it this way we’d be out of business And that store may have been the next month’s high bidder depending on how it was doing then vs its target Question: What should we have told him was a good price for that car Any number we mentioned would have been bone stupid And that’s true for any car you want Either you repeat the same conventional doctrines everybody is saying or else you say something true and it will sound like it’s from Neptune – Noam Chomsky Why aren’t those auto-info old-boy clubs Kelley Blue Book Edmunds TrueCar carscom Consumer Reports etc telling you this Because they pocket 300 to 500 when you buy a car from dealers in their networks – money which comes from your pocket They’re in business to help dealers sell cars profitably not to help you get the lowest price If they told you the truth they’d be out of business tomorrow Our customers almost always beat their prices frequently by a lot That’s why over half of our orders come from previous customers and their referrals No Auto-Info Site Can Serve Two Masters He Serves Just One: You The New-Car Buyer Founder James Bragg a Yale and Harvard Business School graduate is a career-long change agent who has always challenged conventional wisdom With 20 years and over 65000 hours focused solely on this subject he’s the country’s most knowledgeable new-car buyers’ consumer advocate And unlike every old-boy club source of new-car info and advice including Consumer Reports he’s never taken a dime from dealers or automakers As a result he’s become the sole source of the long-hidden truth about the dealer invoice price dealer cash incentives and the only smart way to buy a new car in today’s market His Discovery That The Invoice Price Has Nothing To Do WithAny Dealer Cost Shocked Consumer Reports Into Killing ItsNew Car Price Service a major cash cow Since 1983! In November 2012 he proved to that organization and four other auto-info biggies that the dealer invoice price has had no relationship to any vehicle’s cost since 1994 invalidating the core assumption behind their target price advice The effectiveness of that ancient invoice-based negotiating approach is dead as a doornail Embarrassed by its two-decade failure to recognize that obvious fact Consumer Reports dumped its legendary ‘cash cow’ New Car Price Service – the one they claimed would tell you the dealer’s true cost which hasn’t been true for 20 years Can there be any stronger evidence that the way to get the best price has changed forever It is almost impossible to carry the torch of truth through a crowd without singeing somebody’s beard – George Christoph Lichtenberg MAY SHOULD BE AN EXCELLENT MONTH FOR NEW-CAR SHOPPING It’s the third month of the March-August peak-demand period when dealers push most aggressively for sales New car sales slipped 18 last year to 172 million about 300000 units behind 2016 January-April sales were flat inching up just 02 from year-ago helped mainly by increased fleet sales to rental car companies and businesses Overall sales are forecast to drop below 17 million this year for the first time in three years with current estimates between 167 and 169 million The market is more competitive than ever with automakers spending more on incentives to move the metal That puts you in the driver’s seat Why am I the only one telling you these important facts Because a my competitors aren’t curious enough to dig them out and/or b if they revealed them they’d jeopardize their entire revenue stream which comes from dealers and automakers not you For 25 years I’ve been on a mission to unearth and expose the long-hidden truths that Consumer Reports TrueCar Edmunds Carscom Kelley Blue Book and the auto industry don’t want you to know Those facts demolish all their conventional wisdom about how to buy a car and they transfer the negotiating leverage from the dealers to you Isn’t it time you stopped looking at the way to buy a new car through their rear-view mirrors PS Will you visit me when I enter the witness protection program JAMES BRAGG HOW TO ORDER THE PACKAGE AND WHEN AND HOW YOU’LL GET IT To place an order on our secure encrypted order form click on the Ordering link in the upper left column If you’d prefer to place a phone order or if you have questions that aren’t answered on our web site you may call our order desk at 1-562-433-8489 between 9:15AM and 4:00PM Pacific time Monday through Friday To see the vehicles for which we have pricing info click on the Auto Pricing link in that column Normal Delivery Timing: 99 of our customers request email delivery This is a two-person information boutique We usually send email orders by the next business day If we get swamped it could take another day or two We’ll be here 562-433-8489 to answer your questions and analyze your best lease offer weekdays between 9:15 AM and 4:00 PM Pacific time For a sneak peek at what you’ll get for 4495 scroll down to What’s In The Fighting Chance Package The Dealer Invoice Price Has Become a Bloated Imposter That Has Had Nothing To Do With Any New Car’s Real Cost For Over Twenty Years! And The Industry Moves It Further From Any Cost As noted above Bragg proved it to senior execs of Consumer Reports Kelley Blue Book Edmunds Carscom and TrueCar in a 11/27/12 USA TODAY Automotive Roundtable discussion of whether online car shopping and information services are believable and are relevant in today’s market The centerpiece of that meeting was the bombshell exhibit that shocked them To see it Click here You could have heard a pin drop Incredibly no one was aware of a game-changing fact that had been in front of their noses for 17 years! It’s their worst nightmare because it exposes their pay what others paid as terrible advice Bragg asked the Consumer Reports person Who’s been running your New Car Price Service for the past 20 years Rip Van Winkle He was not amused To read much of the USA TODAY Don’t Trust That Invoice Price write-up on that meeting in which Bragg was dubbed a peppery contrarian click here To understand how laughable new-car pricing is today check out the tiny percentage differences between the base invoice and retail/sticker prices for each brand: Acura/5-7 Audi/7 BMW/6 Buick/4-5 Cadillac/5 Chevy/5-7 Dodge/3-4 Ford/1-7 Genesis/5-7 GMC/5-7 Honda/3-9 Hyundai/3-7 Infiniti/7 Jeep/2-5 Kia/5-7 Lexus/5-8 Lincoln/4-5 Mazda/3-5 Mercedes/7 Mitsubishi/2-3 Nissan/2-7 Ram/4-9 Subaru/5-7 Toyota/4-9 VW/4-5 Volvo/6 And that’s if you pay the full sticker price! Who does that The guy who thinks Taco Bell is a Mexican phone company Add the fact that dealerships have an overhead expense of 12 to 15 of revenue and you’d have to be brain dead to believe the invoice price is in the same area code as any cost number The auto industry is having a good laugh at how gullible we are It’s even flipping us off now with pricing for the Chrysler Pacific Hybrid minivan: invoice 44895 retail 44995! Yet all the info and advice on those big auto-info websites is based on our swallowing – hook line and sinker – the preposterous notion that for decades automakers have been telling everyone what their dealers pay for their cars If that were true dealers would go ballistic But they don’t and they never did even before the Internet arrived Your responsibility as a person is to constantly update your positions on as many things as possible If you don’t contradict yourself regularly you’re not thinking – Malcolm Gladwell The inside story of the discovery of that game-changing fact is told in our book Letting The Cat Out Of The Bag: How The Auto Industry ‘Redesigned’ The Dealer invoice Price When The Internet Arrived available in paperback and Kindle format at Amazon To read the back cover copy Preface Table of Contents and the first four chapters click here If you’d like a author-signed copy 1495 including postage you can add that to your order for the Fighting Chance information package Here’s Bragg’s Take On Those Consumer Auto Pricing Sites Those sites are: a pitching the range of what other clueless shoppers have paid as the holy grail of transaction prices b using rebates which everyone gets and a comparison of their prices to the full sticker price which almost no one pays to inflate their claims of savings from using their services and c sending you on a ‘milk run’ to a small number of dealers in their networks who relish the thought of selling you a car at those prices and reward those conduit sites handsomely with the advertising and/or finder’s fees of 300 to 500 that comes out of your pocket Question: When you’re thinking about getting a new car are you sitting there saying Gee I hope I get a price that’s close to what everyone else is paying We don’t get to choose what is trueWe only get to choose what we do about it – Kami Garcia These Are The Facts About How Most Dealer Incentive Programs Work Today It’s 2017 not 1994 and that world isn’t flat anymore it’s round 90 of the bucks spent on dealer cash are in multi-month programs based on total sales targets and issues like customers’ ratings of their selling dealerships NOT sales of specific vehicles The rewards can be five to six-figure bonuses Some are stair-step promotions in which per-vehicle bonuses increase as dealers reach higher volume thresholds And no one can tell you any dealership’s target or performance level or when these programs start and end So reaching month-end goals along the way is crucially important There’s a lot of seasonality in the business and dealers can’t go into the last month 15 behind where they should have been based on that seasonal pattern That keeps steady sales pressure on month after month Dealers trailing their monthly targets near month-end will sell for much less and that’s likely to be different dealers each month WHAT’S IN THE FIGHTING CHANCE PACKAGE You’ll have the only independent unbiased source of truthful information and powerful negotiating advice on the Internet We’ve been focused single-mindedly on this subject since before the Dead Sea got sick and much of our knowledge has come from our customers’ feedback You’ll have us as your coaches as you go through the process Got a question Call us Want to run the numbers before you sign a lease Call us There’s no such thing as a silly question here In the package’s centerpiece How The PhoneEmail Attack Can Get You The Best Deal Saving You Time Money and Aggravation you’ll learn exactly what to do and say each step of the way as you conduct a competitive bidding process from your home or office Ideally you’ll enlist 9 or 10 dealers that you choose to make price proposals and you’ll go with the winner We also tell you the best day of each month to start the process You’ll receive our signature Big Picture analysis of how the brands and the specific vehicles you’re interested in have been doing in the market Are sales up or down so far this year Does the average dealer sell 2 per month or 22 This piece also reveals the current holdback information for brands that use it several don’t You’ll get the complete current sticker/MSRP and dealer invoice pricing data for the vehicles you’re considering covering all the trim levels and equipment packages Here’s a current list of model pricing available You’ll also get these insightful fact-based articles by Mr Bragg most of them information no other auto-info site will tell you Focus only on those relevant to your purchase or lease How We Abandoned Our Inborn Common Sense About New-Car Pricing How The Industry Has Turned The Invoice Price Into A Bloated ImposterBy Continually Raising It By More Than The MSRP For Over Two Decades How New-Car Dealers Make The Big Bucks And How They Don’t Today Incentives Often Differ From Market To Market Here’s How To Check The Offers Where You Are The Two Big ‘Fake News’ Come-ons To Ignore The Myth Of Vehicle-Specific Dealer Cash Incentives The Crucial Financial Importance Of A Dealership’s Customer Satisfaction Rating Important Note On The Pricing Of Dealer-Installed Accessories Can You Get The Vehicle Configuration You Want Things To Consider About Placing A Factory Order Have You Chosen A Crashworthy Vehicle Thoughts On Buying A Demo Or Last Year’s Leftover Model Should You Buy An Extended Warranty Dealing With A Trade-In If you tell us you have one Leasing 101: The Straight Skinny If you tell us you’re leasing or undecided Here’s The Information We Need To Analyze Your ‘Best-Offer’ Lease Numbers With You If you tell us you’re leasing or undecided Our unique package includes all the information you need to negotiate the best price on for any one vehicle Additional vehicles are 15 each You may place an order here on a secure encrypted order form at any time Special Message To Previous Customers The Fighting Chance package is always changing to reflect new knowledge and the best ways to deal with the changing realities in the retail car business Sometimes the changes are dramatic For example the method for getting competitive bids differs substantially from the arms-length/one-step fax or email attack process we recommended several years ago At other times the changes are small but represent worthwhile improvements The suggested wording in the note you’ll send dealers is fine-tuned often The package you’d receive today will typically include several insightful changes compared to the one you ordered years ago The Cost Of This Unique Package 4495 Includes all the information you need for any one vehicle Additional vehicles: 1500 each More than half of our customers add one or more additional vehicles as fall-back alternatives This could become a small but wise 1500 decision if you find it difficult to deal on your first choice Considering the substantial cost of the new vehicle you’re about to buy or lease isn’t this a relatively small price to pay for the comprehensive Fighting Chance information package Important Note: This is a service for NEW VEHICLES ONLY We have no information on used vehicles Also we have NO CANADIAN PRICING DATA Copyright © 2017 Fighting

WARNING! Because I’m opening your eyes to the truth they’ve all been hiding our facts and action recommendations contradict EVERYTHING you’re being told and encouraged to do by TrueCar Edmunds Kelley Blue Book Carscom Consumer Reports and the other new-car info sites which get all their revenue from the automakers and dealers they send you to For openers no dealer wants you to understand this: Every new car is a commodity the same vehicle with the same price structure at every dealership In the art of the deal the winner is always the one with the leverage And there’s ZERO LEVERAGE in walking into a car store and haggling You’re playing an away game and no one there is rooting for your team That dealer’s competitor isn’t the other brands it’s the other dealers who sell his brand And the winning leverage always comes from having several of them compete for your business Here’s an example: A customer got 9 dealers to compete for a redesigned 2017 Honda CR-V without leaving his home or office and paid 1090 below invoice The eight other bids were 900 below 510 below 410 below 180 below and 300 over invoice 460 over 530 over and 930 over – a 2020 spread from low to high! The winning Sales Manager said This is the only smart way to buy a car But if everyone did it this way we’d be out of business And that store may have been the next month’s high bidder depending on how it was doing then vs its target Question: What should we have told him was a good price for that car Any number we mentioned would have been bone stupid And that’s true for any car you want Either you repeat the same conventional doctrines everybody is saying or else you say something true and it will sound like it’s from Neptune – Noam Chomsky Why aren’t those auto-info old-boy clubs Kelley Blue Book Edmunds TrueCar carscom Consumer Reports etc telling you this Because they pocket 300 to 500 when you buy a car from dealers in their networks – money which comes from your pocket They’re in business to help dealers sell cars profitably not to help you get the lowest price If they told you the truth they’d be out of business tomorrow Our customers almost always beat their prices frequently by a lot That’s why over half of our orders come from previous customers and their referrals No Auto-Info Site Can Serve Two Masters He Serves Just One: You The New-Car Buyer Founder James Bragg a Yale and Harvard Business School graduate is a career-long change agent who has always challenged conventional wisdom With 20 years and over 65000 hours focused solely on this subject he’s the country’s most knowledgeable new-car buyers’ consumer advocate And unlike every old-boy club source of new-car info and advice including Consumer Reports he’s never taken a dime from dealers or automakers As a result he’s become the sole source of the long-hidden truth about the dealer invoice price dealer cash incentives and the only smart way to buy a new car in today’s market His Discovery That The Invoice Price Has Nothing To Do WithAny Dealer Cost Shocked Consumer Reports Into Killing ItsNew Car Price Service a major cash cow Since 1983! In November 2012 he proved to that organization and four other auto-info biggies that the dealer invoice price has had no relationship to any vehicle’s cost since 1994 invalidating the core assumption behind their target price advice The effectiveness of that ancient invoice-based negotiating approach is dead as a doornail Embarrassed by its two-decade failure to recognize that obvious fact Consumer Reports dumped its legendary ‘cash cow’ New Car Price Service – the one they claimed would tell you the dealer’s true cost which hasn’t been true for 20 years Can there be any stronger evidence that the way to get the best price has changed forever It is almost impossible to carry the torch of truth through a crowd without singeing somebody’s beard – George Christoph Lichtenberg MAY SHOULD BE AN EXCELLENT MONTH FOR NEW-CAR SHOPPING It’s the third month of the March-August peak-demand period when dealers push most aggressively for sales New car sales slipped 18 last year to 172 million about 300000 units behind 2016 January-April sales were flat inching up just 02 from year-ago helped mainly by increased fleet sales to rental car companies and businesses Overall sales are forecast to drop below 17 million this year for the first time in three years with current estimates between 167 and 169 million The market is more competitive than ever with automakers spending more on incentives to move the metal That puts you in the driver’s seat Why am I the only one telling you these important facts Because a my competitors aren’t curious enough to dig them out and/or b if they revealed them they’d jeopardize their entire revenue stream which comes from dealers and automakers not you For 25 years I’ve been on a mission to unearth and expose the long-hidden truths that Consumer Reports TrueCar Edmunds Carscom Kelley Blue Book and the auto industry don’t want you to know Those facts demolish all their conventional wisdom about how to buy a car and they transfer the negotiating leverage from the dealers to you Isn’t it time you stopped looking at the way to buy a new car through their rear-view mirrors PS Will you visit me when I enter the witness protection program JAMES BRAGG HOW TO ORDER THE PACKAGE AND WHEN AND HOW YOU’LL GET IT To place an order on our secure encrypted order form click on the Ordering link in the upper left column If you’d prefer to place a phone order or if you have questions that aren’t answered on our web site you may call our order desk at 1-562-433-8489 between 9:15AM and 4:00PM Pacific time Monday through Friday To see the vehicles for which we have pricing info click on the Auto Pricing link in that column Normal Delivery Timing: 99 of our customers request email delivery This is a two-person information boutique We usually send email orders by the next business day If we get swamped it could take another day or two We’ll be here 562-433-8489 to answer your questions and analyze your best lease offer weekdays between 9:15 AM and 4:00 PM Pacific time For a sneak peek at what you’ll get for 4495 scroll down to What’s In The Fighting Chance Package The Dealer Invoice Price Has Become a Bloated Imposter That Has Had Nothing To Do With Any New Car’s Real Cost For Over Twenty Years! And The Industry Moves It Further From Any Cost As noted above Bragg proved it to senior execs of Consumer Reports Kelley Blue Book Edmunds Carscom and TrueCar in a 11/27/12 USA TODAY Automotive Roundtable discussion of whether online car shopping and information services are believable and are relevant in today’s market The centerpiece of that meeting was the bombshell exhibit that shocked them To see it Click here You could have heard a pin drop Incredibly no one was aware of a game-changing fact that had been in front of their noses for 17 years! It’s their worst nightmare because it exposes their pay what others paid as terrible advice Bragg asked the Consumer Reports person Who’s been running your New Car Price Service for the past 20 years Rip Van Winkle He was not amused To read much of the USA TODAY Don’t Trust That Invoice Price write-up on that meeting in which Bragg was dubbed a peppery contrarian click here To understand how laughable new-car pricing is today check out the tiny percentage differences between the base invoice and retail/sticker prices for each brand: Acura/5-7 Audi/7 BMW/6 Buick/4-5 Cadillac/5 Chevy/5-7 Dodge/3-4 Ford/1-7 Genesis/5-7 GMC/5-7 Honda/3-9 Hyundai/3-7 Infiniti/7 Jeep/2-5 Kia/5-7 Lexus/5-8 Lincoln/4-5 Mazda/3-5 Mercedes/7 Mitsubishi/2-3 Nissan/2-7 Ram/4-9 Subaru/5-7 Toyota/4-9 VW/4-5 Volvo/6 And that’s if you pay the full sticker price! Who does that The guy who thinks Taco Bell is a Mexican phone company Add the fact that dealerships have an overhead expense of 12 to 15 of revenue and you’d have to be brain dead to believe the invoice price is in the same area code as any cost number The auto industry is having a good laugh at how gullible we are It’s even flipping us off now with pricing for the Chrysler Pacific Hybrid minivan: invoice 44895 retail 44995! Yet all the info and advice on those big auto-info websites is based on our swallowing – hook line and sinker – the preposterous notion that for decades automakers have been telling everyone what their dealers pay for their cars If that were true dealers would go ballistic But they don’t and they never did even before the Internet arrived Your responsibility as a person is to constantly update your positions on as many things as possible If you don’t contradict yourself regularly you’re not thinking – Malcolm Gladwell The inside story of the discovery of that game-changing fact is told in our book Letting The Cat Out Of The Bag: How The Auto Industry ‘Redesigned’ The Dealer invoice Price When The Internet Arrived available in paperback and Kindle format at Amazon To read the back cover copy Preface Table of Contents and the first four chapters click here If you’d like a author-signed copy 1495 including postage you can add that to your order for the Fighting Chance information package Here’s Bragg’s Take On Those Consumer Auto Pricing Sites Those sites are: a pitching the range of what other clueless shoppers have paid as the holy grail of transaction prices b using rebates which everyone gets and a comparison of their prices to the full sticker price which almost no one pays to inflate their claims of savings from using their services and c sending you on a ‘milk run’ to a small number of dealers in their networks who relish the thought of selling you a car at those prices and reward those conduit sites handsomely with the advertising and/or finder’s fees of 300 to 500 that comes out of your pocket Question: When you’re thinking about getting a new car are you sitting there saying Gee I hope I get a price that’s close to what everyone else is paying We don’t get to choose what is trueWe only get to choose what we do about it – Kami Garcia These Are The Facts About How Most Dealer Incentive Programs Work Today It’s 2017 not 1994 and that world isn’t flat anymore it’s round 90 of the bucks spent on dealer cash are in multi-month programs based on total sales targets and issues like customers’ ratings of their selling dealerships NOT sales of specific vehicles The rewards can be five to six-figure bonuses Some are stair-step promotions in which per-vehicle bonuses increase as dealers reach higher volume thresholds And no one can tell you any dealership’s target or performance level or when these programs start and end So reaching month-end goals along the way is crucially important There’s a lot of seasonality in the business and dealers can’t go into the last month 15 behind where they should have been based on that seasonal pattern That keeps steady sales pressure on month after month Dealers trailing their monthly targets near month-end will sell for much less and that’s likely to be different dealers each month WHAT’S IN THE FIGHTING CHANCE PACKAGE You’ll have the only independent unbiased source of truthful information and powerful negotiating advice on the Internet We’ve been focused single-mindedly on this subject since before the Dead Sea got sick and much of our knowledge has come from our customers’ feedback You’ll have us as your coaches as you go through the process Got a question Call us Want to run the numbers before you sign a lease Call us There’s no such thing as a silly question here In the package’s centerpiece How The PhoneEmail Attack Can Get You The Best Deal Saving You Time Money and Aggravation you’ll learn exactly what to do and say each step of the way as you conduct a competitive bidding process from your home or office Ideally you’ll enlist 9 or 10 dealers that you choose to make price proposals and you’ll go with the winner We also tell you the best day of each month to start the process You’ll receive our signature Big Picture analysis of how the brands and the specific vehicles you’re interested in have been doing in the market Are sales up or down so far this year Does the average dealer sell 2 per month or 22 This piece also reveals the current holdback information for brands that use it several don’t You’ll get the complete current sticker/MSRP and dealer invoice pricing data for the vehicles you’re considering covering all the trim levels and equipment packages Here’s a current list of model pricing available You’ll also get these insightful fact-based articles by Mr Bragg most of them information no other auto-info site will tell you Focus only on those relevant to your purchase or lease How We Abandoned Our Inborn Common Sense About New-Car Pricing How The Industry Has Turned The Invoice Price Into A Bloated ImposterBy Continually Raising It By More Than The MSRP For Over Two Decades How New-Car Dealers Make The Big Bucks And How They Don’t Today Incentives Often Differ From Market To Market Here’s How To Check The Offers Where You Are The Two Big ‘Fake News’ Come-ons To Ignore The Myth Of Vehicle-Specific Dealer Cash Incentives The Crucial Financial Importance Of A Dealership’s Customer Satisfaction Rating Important Note On The Pricing Of Dealer-Installed Accessories Can You Get The Vehicle Configuration You Want Things To Consider About Placing A Factory Order Have You Chosen A Crashworthy Vehicle Thoughts On Buying A Demo Or Last Year’s Leftover Model Should You Buy An Extended Warranty Dealing With A Trade-In If you tell us you have one Leasing 101: The Straight Skinny If you tell us you’re leasing or undecided Here’s The Information We Need To Analyze Your ‘Best-Offer’ Lease Numbers With You If you tell us you’re leasing or undecided Our unique package includes all the information you need to negotiate the best price on for any one vehicle Additional vehicles are 15 each You may place an order here on a secure encrypted order form at any time Special Message To Previous Customers The Fighting Chance package is always changing to reflect new knowledge and the best ways to deal with the changing realities in the retail car business Sometimes the changes are dramatic For example the method for getting competitive bids differs substantially from the arms-length/one-step fax or email attack process we recommended several years ago At other times the changes are small but represent worthwhile improvements The suggested wording in the note you’ll send dealers is fine-tuned often The package you’d receive today will typically include several insightful changes compared to the one you ordered years ago The Cost Of This Unique Package 4495 Includes all the information you need for any one vehicle Additional vehicles: 1500 each More than half of our customers add one or more additional vehicles as fall-back alternatives This could become a small but wise 1500 decision if you find it difficult to deal on your first choice Considering the substantial cost of the new vehicle you’re about to buy or lease isn’t this a relatively small price to pay for the comprehensive Fighting Chance information package Important Note: This is a service for NEW VEHICLES ONLY We have no information on used vehicles Also we have NO CANADIAN PRICING DATA Copyright © 2017 Fighting

In November 2012 he proved to that organization and four other auto-info biggies that the dealer invoice price has had no relationship to any vehicle’s cost since 1994 invalidating the core assumption behind their target price advice The effectiveness of that ancient invoice-based negotiating approach is dead as a doornail Embarrassed by its two-decade failure to recognize that obvious fact Consumer Reports dumped its legendary ‘cash cow’ New Car Price Service – the one they claimed would tell you the dealer’s true cost which hasn’t been true for 20 years Can there be any stronger evidence that the way to get the best price has changed forever It is almost impossible to carry the torch of truth through a crowd without singeing somebody’s beard – George Christoph Lichtenberg MAY SHOULD BE AN EXCELLENT MONTH FOR NEW-CAR SHOPPING It’s the third month of the March-August peak-demand period when dealers push most aggressively for sales New car sales slipped 18 last year to 172 million about 300000 units behind 2016 January-April sales were flat inching up just 02 from year-ago helped mainly by increased fleet sales to rental car companies and businesses Overall sales are forecast to drop below 17 million this year for the first time in three years with current estimates between 167 and 169 million The market is more competitive than ever with automakers spending more on incentives to move the metal That puts you in the driver’s seat Why am I the only one telling you these important facts Because a my competitors aren’t curious enough to dig them out and/or b if they revealed them they’d jeopardize their entire revenue stream which comes from dealers and automakers not you For 25 years I’ve been on a mission to unearth and expose the long-hidden truths that Consumer Reports TrueCar Edmunds Carscom Kelley Blue Book and the auto industry don’t want you to know Those facts demolish all their conventional wisdom about how to buy a car and they transfer the negotiating leverage from the dealers to you Isn’t it time you stopped looking at the way to buy a new car through their rear-view mirrors PS Will you visit me when I enter the witness protection program JAMES BRAGG HOW TO ORDER THE PACKAGE AND WHEN AND HOW YOU’LL GET IT To place an order on our secure encrypted order form click on the Ordering link in the upper left column If you’d prefer to place a phone order or if you have questions that aren’t answered on our web site you may call our order desk at 1-562-433-8489 between 9:15AM and 4:00PM Pacific time Monday through Friday To see the vehicles for which we have pricing info click on the Auto Pricing link in that column Normal Delivery Timing: 99 of our customers request email delivery This is a two-person information boutique We usually send email orders by the next business day If we get swamped it could take another day or two We’ll be here 562-433-8489 to answer your questions and analyze your best lease offer weekdays between 9:15 AM and 4:00 PM Pacific time For a sneak peek at what you’ll get for 4495 scroll down to What’s In The Fighting Chance Package The Dealer Invoice Price Has Become a Bloated Imposter That Has Had Nothing To Do With Any New Car’s Real Cost For Over Twenty Years! And The Industry Moves It Further From Any Cost As noted above Bragg proved it to senior execs of Consumer Reports Kelley Blue Book Edmunds Carscom and TrueCar in a 11/27/12 USA TODAY Automotive Roundtable discussion of whether online car shopping and information services are believable and are relevant in today’s market The centerpiece of that meeting was the bombshell exhibit that shocked them To see it Click here You could have heard a pin drop Incredibly no one was aware of a game-changing fact that had been in front of their noses for 17 years! It’s their worst nightmare because it exposes their pay what others paid as terrible advice Bragg asked the Consumer Reports person Who’s been running your New Car Price Service for the past 20 years Rip Van Winkle He was not amused To read much of the USA TODAY Don’t Trust That Invoice Price write-up on that meeting in which Bragg was dubbed a peppery contrarian click here To understand how laughable new-car pricing is today check out the tiny percentage differences between the base invoice and retail/sticker prices for each brand: Acura/5-7 Audi/7 BMW/6 Buick/4-5 Cadillac/5 Chevy/5-7 Dodge/3-4 Ford/1-7 Genesis/5-7 GMC/5-7 Honda/3-9 Hyundai/3-7 Infiniti/7 Jeep/2-5 Kia/5-7 Lexus/5-8 Lincoln/4-5 Mazda/3-5 Mercedes/7 Mitsubishi/2-3 Nissan/2-7 Ram/4-9 Subaru/5-7 Toyota/4-9 VW/4-5 Volvo/6 And that’s if you pay the full sticker price! Who does that The guy who thinks Taco Bell is a Mexican phone company Add the fact that dealerships have an overhead expense of 12 to 15 of revenue and you’d have to be brain dead to believe the invoice price is in the same area code as any cost number The auto industry is having a good laugh at how gullible we are It’s even flipping us off now with pricing for the Chrysler Pacific Hybrid minivan: invoice 44895 retail 44995! Yet all the info and advice on those big auto-info websites is based on our swallowing – hook line and sinker – the preposterous notion that for decades automakers have been telling everyone what their dealers pay for their cars If that were true dealers would go ballistic But they don’t and they never did even before the Internet arrived Your responsibility as a person is to constantly update your positions on as many things as possible If you don’t contradict yourself regularly you’re not thinking – Malcolm Gladwell The inside story of the discovery of that game-changing fact is told in

package Here’s Bragg’s Take On Those Consumer Auto Pricing Sites Those sites are: a pitching the range of what other clueless shoppers have paid as the holy grail of transaction prices b using rebates which everyone gets and a comparison of their prices to the full sticker price which almost no one pays to inflate their claims of savings from using their services and c sending you on a ‘milk run’ to a small number of dealers in their networks who relish the thought of selling you a car at those prices and reward those conduit sites handsomely with the advertising and/or finder’s fees of 300 to 500 that comes out of your pocket Question: When you’re thinking about getting a new car are you sitting there saying Gee I hope I get a price that’s close to what everyone else is paying We don’t get to choose what is trueWe only get to choose what we do about it – Kami Garcia These Are The Facts About How Most Dealer Incentive Programs Work Today It’s 2017 not 1994 and that world isn’t flat anymore it’s round 90 of the bucks spent on dealer cash are in multi-month programs based on total sales targets and issues like customers’ ratings of their selling dealerships NOT sales of specific

There are indispensable sea-changing facts about the new-car business that the industry and those auto-info websites have hidden from you for decades – facts that shift the negotiating leverage from the dealers to you Someone needed the hunger for the truth the tenacity to uncover it and the guts to reveal it to you I was the only candidate James Bragg As a result: 144258 new-car shoppers have used the Fighting Chance 3-step competitive bidding process to get the lowest price possible without walking into a single car store to haggle! With this empowering guide to buying or leasing a new car you’ll be in total control conducting the process from your home or office among several dealers that you choose The guide teaches you exactly what to say and do and when to do it And unlike every other new-car info site we’ll be here to answer your questions by phone every step of the way eg If you’re leasing we’ll go through the best-offer numbers with you before you sign the papers You Need The Whole Truth About The New-Car Business And This Is The Only Website Where You’ll Find It WARNING! Because I’m opening your eyes to the truth they’ve all been hiding our facts and action recommendations contradict EVERYTHING you’re being told and encouraged to do by TrueCar Edmunds Kelley Blue Book Carscom Consumer Reports and the other new-car info sites which get all their revenue from the automakers and dealers they send you to For openers no dealer wants you to understand this: Every new car is a commodity the same vehicle with the same price structure at every dealership In the art of the deal the winner is always the one with the leverage And there’s ZERO LEVERAGE in walking into a car store and haggling You’re playing an away game and no one there is rooting for your team That dealer’s competitor isn’t the other brands it’s the other dealers who sell his brand And the winning leverage always comes from having several of them compete for your business Here’s an example: A customer got 9 dealers to compete for a redesigned 2017 Honda CR-V without leaving his home or office and paid 1090 below invoice The eight other bids were 900 below 510 below 410 below 180 below and 300 over invoice 460 over 530 over and 930 over – a 2020 spread from low to high! The winning Sales Manager said This is the only smart way to buy a car But if everyone did it this way we’d be out of business And that store may have been the next month’s high bidder depending on how it was doing then vs its target Question: What should we have told him was a good price for that car Any number we mentioned would have been bone stupid And that’s true for any car you want Either you repeat the same conventional doctrines everybody is saying or else you say something true and it will sound like it’s from Neptune – Noam Chomsky Why aren’t those auto-info old-boy clubs Kelley Blue Book Edmunds TrueCar carscom Consumer Reports etc telling you this Because they pocket 300 to 500 when you buy a car from dealers in their networks – money which comes from your pocket They’re in business to help dealers sell cars profitably not to help you get the lowest price If they told you the truth they’d be out of business tomorrow Our customers almost always beat their prices frequently by a lot That’s why over half of our orders come from previous customers and their referrals No Auto-Info Site Can Serve Two Masters He Serves Just One: You The New-Car Buyer Founder James Bragg a Yale and Harvard Business School graduate is a career-long change agent who has always challenged conventional wisdom With 20 years and over 65000 hours focused solely on this subject he’s the country’s most knowledgeable new-car buyers’ consumer advocate And unlike every old-boy club source of new-car info and advice including Consumer Reports he’s never taken a dime from dealers or automakers As a result he’s become the sole source of the long-hidden truth about the dealer invoice price dealer cash incentives and the only smart way to buy a new car in today’s market His Discovery That The Invoice Price Has Nothing To Do WithAny Dealer Cost Shocked Consumer Reports Into Killing ItsNew Car Price Service a major cash cow Since 1983!

attack process we recommended several years ago At other times the changes are small but represent worthwhile improvements The suggested wording in the note you’ll send dealers is fine-tuned often The package you’d receive today will typically include several insightful changes compared to the one you ordered years ago The Cost Of This Unique Package 4495 Includes all the information you need for any one vehicle Additional vehicles: 1500 each More than half of our customers add one or more additional vehicles as fall-back alternatives This could become a small but wise 1500 decision if you find it difficult to deal on your first choice Considering the substantial cost of the new vehicle you’re about to buy or lease isn’t this a relatively small price to pay for the comprehensive Fighting Chance information package Important Note: This is a service for NEW VEHICLES ONLY We have no information on used vehicles Also we have NO CANADIAN PRICING DATA Copyright © 2017 Fighting

Either you repeat the same conventional doctrines everybody is saying or else you say something true and it will sound like it’s from Neptune – Noam Chomsky Why aren’t those auto-info old-boy clubs Kelley Blue Book Edmunds TrueCar carscom Consumer Reports etc telling you this Because they pocket 300 to 500 when you buy a car from dealers in their networks – money which comes from your pocket They’re in business to help dealers sell cars profitably not to help you get the lowest price If they told you the truth they’d be out of business tomorrow Our customers almost always beat their prices frequently by a lot That’s why over half of our orders come from previous customers and their referrals No Auto-Info Site Can Serve Two Masters He Serves Just One: You The New-Car Buyer Founder James Bragg a Yale and Harvard Business School graduate is a career-long change agent who has always challenged conventional wisdom With 20 years and over 65000 hours focused solely on this subject he’s the country’s most knowledgeable new-car buyers’ consumer advocate And unlike every old-boy club source of new-car info and advice including Consumer Reports he’s never taken a dime from dealers or automakers As a result he’s become the sole source of the long-hidden truth about the dealer invoice price dealer cash incentives and the only smart way to buy a new car in today’s market His Discovery That The Invoice Price Has Nothing To Do WithAny Dealer Cost Shocked Consumer Reports Into Killing ItsNew Car Price Service a major cash cow Since 1983! In November 2012 he proved to that organization and four other auto-info biggies that the dealer invoice price has had no relationship to any vehicle’s cost since 1994 invalidating the core assumption behind their target price advice The effectiveness of that ancient invoice-based negotiating approach is dead as a doornail Embarrassed by its two-decade failure to recognize that obvious fact Consumer Reports dumped its legendary ‘cash cow’ New Car Price Service – the one they claimed would tell you the dealer’s true cost which hasn’t been true for 20 years Can there be any stronger evidence that the way to get the best price has changed forever It is almost impossible to carry the torch of truth through a crowd without singeing somebody’s beard – George Christoph Lichtenberg MAY SHOULD BE AN EXCELLENT MONTH FOR NEW-CAR SHOPPING It’s the third month of the March-August peak-demand period when dealers push most aggressively for sales New car sales slipped 18 last year to 172 million about 300000 units behind 2016 January-April sales were flat inching up just 02 from year-ago helped mainly by increased fleet sales to rental car companies and businesses Overall sales are forecast to drop below 17 million this year for the first time in three years with current estimates between 167 and 169 million The market is more competitive than ever with automakers spending more on incentives to move the metal That puts you in the driver’s seat Why am I the only one telling you these important facts Because a my competitors aren’t curious enough to dig them out and/or b if they revealed them they’d jeopardize their entire revenue stream which comes from dealers and automakers not you For 25 years I’ve been on a mission to unearth and expose the long-hidden truths that Consumer Reports TrueCar Edmunds Carscom Kelley Blue Book and the auto industry don’t want you to know Those facts demolish all their conventional wisdom about how to buy a car and they transfer the negotiating leverage from the dealers to you Isn’t it time you stopped looking at the way to buy a new car through their rear-view mirrors PS Will you visit me when I enter the witness protection program JAMES BRAGG HOW TO ORDER THE PACKAGE AND WHEN AND HOW YOU’LL GET IT To place an order on our secure encrypted order form click on the Ordering link in the upper left column If you’d prefer to place a phone order or if you have questions that aren’t answered on our web site you may call our order desk at 1-562-433-8489 between 9:15AM and 4:00PM Pacific time Monday through Friday To see the vehicles for which we have pricing info click on the Auto Pricing link in that column Normal Delivery Timing: 99 of our customers request email delivery This is a two-person information boutique We usually send email orders by the next business day If we get swamped it could take another day or two We’ll be here 562-433-8489 to answer your questions and analyze your best lease offer weekdays between 9:15 AM and 4:00 PM Pacific time For a sneak peek at what you’ll get for 4495 scroll down to What’s In The Fighting Chance Package The Dealer Invoice Price Has Become a Bloated Imposter That Has Had Nothing To Do With Any New Car’s Real Cost For Over Twenty Years! And The Industry Moves It Further From Any Cost As noted above Bragg proved it to senior execs of Consumer Reports Kelley Blue Book Edmunds Carscom and TrueCar in a 11/27/12 USA TODAY Automotive Roundtable discussion of whether online car shopping and information services are believable and are relevant in today’s market The centerpiece of that meeting was the bombshell exhibit that shocked them To see it Click here You could have heard a pin drop Incredibly no one was aware of a game-changing fact that had been in front of their noses for 17 years! It’s their worst nightmare because it exposes their pay what others paid as terrible advice Bragg asked the Consumer Reports person Who’s been running your New Car Price Service for the past 20 years Rip Van Winkle He was not amused To read much of the USA TODAY Don’t Trust That Invoice Price write-up on that meeting in which Bragg was dubbed a peppery contrarian click here To understand how laughable new-car pricing is today check out the tiny percentage differences between the base invoice and retail/sticker prices for each brand: Acura/5-7 Audi/7 BMW/6 Buick/4-5 Cadillac/5 Chevy/5-7 Dodge/3-4 Ford/1-7 Genesis/5-7 GMC/5-7 Honda/3-9 Hyundai/3-7 Infiniti/7 Jeep/2-5 Kia/5-7 Lexus/5-8 Lincoln/4-5 Mazda/3-5 Mercedes/7 Mitsubishi/2-3 Nissan/2-7 Ram/4-9 Subaru/5-7 Toyota/4-9 VW/4-5 Volvo/6 And that’s if you pay the full sticker price! Who does that The guy who thinks Taco Bell is a Mexican phone company Add the fact that dealerships have an overhead expense of 12 to 15 of revenue and you’d have to be brain dead to believe the invoice price is in the same area code as any cost number The auto industry is having a good laugh at how gullible we are It’s even flipping us off now with pricing for the Chrysler Pacific Hybrid minivan: invoice 44895 retail 44995! Yet all the info and advice on those big auto-info websites is based on our swallowing – hook line and sinker – the preposterous notion that for decades automakers have been telling everyone what their dealers pay for their cars If that were true dealers would go ballistic But they don’t and they never did even before the Internet arrived Your responsibility as a person is to constantly update your positions on as many things as possible If you don’t contradict yourself regularly you’re not thinking – Malcolm Gladwell The inside story of the discovery of that game-changing fact is told in our book Letting The Cat Out Of The Bag: How The Auto Industry ‘Redesigned’ The Dealer invoice Price When The Internet Arrived available in paperback and Kindle format at Amazon To read the back cover copy Preface Table of Contents and the first four chapters click here If you’d like a author-signed copy 1495 including postage you can add that to your order for the Fighting Chance information package Here’s Bragg’s Take On Those Consumer Auto Pricing Sites Those sites are: a pitching the range of what other clueless shoppers have paid as the holy grail of transaction prices b using rebates which everyone gets and a comparison of their prices to the full sticker price which almost no one pays to inflate their claims of savings from using their services and c sending you on a ‘milk run’ to a small number of dealers in their networks who relish the thought of selling you a car at those prices and reward those conduit sites handsomely with the advertising and/or finder’s fees of 300 to 500 that comes out of your pocket Question: When you’re thinking about getting a new car are you sitting there saying Gee I hope I get a price that’s close to what everyone else is paying We don’t get to choose what is trueWe only get to choose what we do about it – Kami Garcia These Are The Facts About How Most Dealer Incentive Programs Work Today It’s 2017 not 1994 and that world isn’t flat anymore it’s round 90 of the bucks spent on dealer cash are in multi-month programs based on total sales targets and issues like customers’ ratings of their selling dealerships NOT sales of specific vehicles The rewards can be five to six-figure bonuses Some are stair-step promotions in which per-vehicle bonuses increase as dealers reach higher volume thresholds And no one can tell you any dealership’s target or performance level or when these programs start and end So reaching month-end goals along the way is crucially important There’s a lot of seasonality in the business and dealers can’t go into the last month 15 behind where they should have been based on that seasonal pattern That keeps steady sales pressure on month after month Dealers trailing their monthly targets near month-end will sell for much less and that’s likely to be different dealers each month WHAT’S IN THE FIGHTING CHANCE PACKAGE You’ll have the only independent unbiased source of truthful information

Someone needed the hunger for the truth the tenacity to uncover it and the guts to reveal it to you I was the only candidate James Bragg As a result: 144258 new-car shoppers have used the Fighting Chance 3-step competitive bidding process to get the lowest price possible without walking into a single car store to haggle! With this empowering guide to buying or leasing a new car you’ll be in total control conducting the process from your home or office among several dealers that you choose The guide teaches you exactly what to say and do and when to do it And unlike every other new-car info site we’ll be here to answer your questions by phone every step of the way eg If you’re leasing we’ll go through the best-offer numbers with you before you sign the papers You Need The Whole Truth About The New-Car Business And This Is The Only Website Where You’ll Find It WARNING! Because I’m opening your eyes to the truth they’ve all been hiding our facts and action recommendations contradict EVERYTHING you’re being told and encouraged to do by TrueCar Edmunds Kelley Blue Book Carscom Consumer Reports and the other new-car info sites which get all their revenue from the automakers and dealers they send you to For openers no dealer wants you to understand this: Every new car is a commodity the same vehicle with the same price structure at every dealership In the art of the deal the winner is always the one with the leverage And there’s ZERO LEVERAGE in walking into a car store and haggling You’re playing an away game and no one there is rooting for your team That dealer’s competitor isn’t the other brands it’s the other dealers who sell his brand And the winning leverage always comes from having several of them compete for your business Here’s an example: A customer got 9 dealers to compete for a redesigned 2017 Honda CR-V without leaving his home or office and paid 1090 below invoice The eight other bids were 900 below 510 below 410 below 180 below and 300 over invoice 460 over 530 over and 930 over – a 2020 spread from low to high! The winning Sales Manager said This is the only smart way to buy a car But if everyone did it this way we’d be out of business And that store may have been the next month’s high bidder depending on how it was doing then vs its target Question: What should we have told him was a good price for that car Any number we mentioned would have been bone stupid And that’s true for any car you want Either you repeat the same conventional doctrines everybody is saying or else you say something true and it will sound like it’s from Neptune – Noam Chomsky Why aren’t those auto-info old-boy clubs Kelley Blue Book Edmunds TrueCar carscom Consumer Reports etc telling you this Because they pocket 300 to 500 when you buy a car from dealers in their networks – money which comes from your pocket They’re in business to help dealers sell cars profitably not to help you get the lowest price If they told you the truth they’d be out of business tomorrow Our customers almost always beat their prices frequently by a lot That’s why over half of our orders come from previous customers and their referrals No Auto-Info Site Can Serve Two Masters He Serves Just One: You The New-Car Buyer Founder James Bragg a Yale and Harvard Business School graduate is a career-long change agent who has always challenged conventional wisdom With 20 years and over 65000 hours focused solely on this subject he’s the country’s most knowledgeable new-car buyers’ consumer advocate And unlike every old-boy club source of new-car info and advice including Consumer Reports he’s never taken a dime from dealers or automakers As a result he’s become the sole source of the long-hidden truth about the dealer invoice price dealer cash incentives and the only smart way to buy a new car in today’s market His Discovery That The Invoice Price Has Nothing To Do WithAny Dealer Cost Shocked Consumer Reports Into Killing ItsNew Car Price Service a major cash cow Since 1983!

A customer got 9 dealers to compete for a redesigned 2017 Honda CR-V without leaving his home or office and paid 1090 below invoice The eight other bids were 900 below 510 below 410 below 180 below and 300 over invoice 460 over 530 over and 930 over – a 2020 spread from low to high! The winning Sales Manager said This is the only smart way to buy a car But if everyone did it this way we’d be out of business And that store may have been the next month’s high bidder depending on how it was doing then vs its target Question: What should we have told him was a good price for that car Any number we mentioned would have been bone stupid And that’s true for any car you want Either you repeat the same conventional doctrines everybody is saying or else you say something true and it will sound like it’s from Neptune – Noam Chomsky Why aren’t those auto-info old-boy clubs Kelley Blue Book Edmunds TrueCar carscom Consumer Reports etc telling you this Because they pocket 300 to 500 when you buy a car from dealers in their networks – money which comes from your pocket They’re in business to help dealers sell cars profitably not to help you get the lowest price If they told you the truth they’d be out of business tomorrow Our customers almost always beat their prices frequently by a lot That’s why over half of our orders come from previous customers and their referrals No Auto-Info Site Can Serve Two Masters He Serves Just One: You The New-Car Buyer Founder James Bragg a Yale and Harvard Business School graduate is a career-long change agent who has always challenged conventional wisdom With 20 years and over 65000 hours focused solely on this subject he’s the country’s most knowledgeable new-car buyers’ consumer advocate And unlike every old-boy club source of new-car info and advice including Consumer Reports he’s never taken a dime from dealers or automakers As a result he’s become the sole source of the long-hidden truth about the dealer invoice price dealer cash incentives and the only smart way to buy a new car in today’s market His Discovery That The Invoice Price Has Nothing To Do WithAny Dealer Cost Shocked Consumer Reports Into Killing ItsNew Car Price Service a major cash cow Since 1983! In November 2012 he proved to that organization and four other auto-info biggies that the dealer invoice price has had no relationship to any vehicle’s cost since 1994 invalidating the core assumption behind their target price advice The effectiveness of that ancient invoice-based negotiating approach is dead as a doornail Embarrassed by its two-decade failure to recognize that obvious fact Consumer Reports dumped its legendary ‘cash cow’ New Car Price Service – the one they claimed would tell you the dealer’s true cost which hasn’t been true for 20 years Can there be any stronger evidence that the way to get the best price has changed forever It is almost impossible to carry the torch of truth through a crowd without singeing somebody’s beard – George Christoph Lichtenberg MAY SHOULD BE AN EXCELLENT MONTH FOR NEW-CAR SHOPPING It’s the third month of the March-August peak-demand period when dealers push most aggressively for sales New car sales slipped 18 last year to 172 million about 300000 units behind 2016 January-April sales were flat inching up just 02 from year-ago helped mainly by increased fleet sales to rental car companies and businesses Overall sales are forecast to drop below 17 million this year for the first time in three years with current estimates between 167 and 169 million The market is more competitive than ever with automakers spending more on incentives to move the metal That puts you in the driver’s seat Why am I the only one telling you these important facts Because a my competitors aren’t curious enough to dig them out and/or b if they revealed them they’d jeopardize their entire revenue stream which comes from dealers and automakers not you For 25 years I’ve been on a mission to unearth and expose the long-hidden truths that Consumer Reports TrueCar Edmunds Carscom Kelley Blue Book and the auto industry don’t want you to know Those facts demolish all their conventional wisdom about how to buy a car and they transfer the negotiating leverage from the dealers to you Isn’t it time you stopped looking at the way to buy a new car through their rear-view mirrors PS Will you visit me when I enter the witness protection program JAMES BRAGG HOW TO ORDER THE PACKAGE AND WHEN AND HOW YOU’LL GET IT To place an order on our secure encrypted order form click on the Ordering link in the upper left column If you’d prefer to place a phone order or if you have questions that aren’t answered on our web site you may call our order desk at 1-562-433-8489 between 9:15AM and 4:00PM Pacific time Monday through Friday To see the vehicles for which we have pricing info click on the Auto Pricing link in that column Normal Delivery Timing: 99 of our customers request email delivery This is a two-person information boutique We usually send email orders by the next business day If we get swamped it could take another day or two We’ll be here 562-433-8489 to answer your questions and analyze your best lease offer weekdays between 9:15 AM and 4:00 PM Pacific time For a sneak peek at what you’ll get for 4495 scroll down to What’s In The Fighting Chance Package The Dealer Invoice Price Has Become a Bloated Imposter That Has Had Nothing To Do With Any New Car’s Real Cost For Over Twenty Years! And The Industry Moves It Further From Any Cost As noted above Bragg proved it to senior execs of Consumer Reports Kelley Blue Book Edmunds Carscom and TrueCar in a 11/27/12 USA TODAY Automotive Roundtable discussion of whether online car shopping and information services are believable and are relevant in today’s market The centerpiece of that meeting was the bombshell exhibit that shocked them To see it Click here You could have heard a pin drop Incredibly no one was aware of a game-changing fact that had been in front of their noses for 17 years! It’s their worst nightmare because it exposes their pay what others paid as terrible advice Bragg asked the Consumer Reports person Who’s been running your New Car Price Service for the past 20 years Rip Van Winkle He was not amused To read much of the USA TODAY Don’t Trust That Invoice Price write-up on that meeting in which Bragg was dubbed a peppery contrarian click here To understand how laughable new-car pricing is today check out the tiny percentage differences between the base invoice and retail/sticker prices for each brand: Acura/5-7 Audi/7 BMW/6 Buick/4-5 Cadillac/5 Chevy/5-7 Dodge/3-4 Ford/1-7 Genesis/5-7 GMC/5-7 Honda/3-9 Hyundai/3-7 Infiniti/7 Jeep/2-5 Kia/5-7 Lexus/5-8 Lincoln/4-5 Mazda/3-5 Mercedes/7 Mitsubishi/2-3 Nissan/2-7 Ram/4-9 Subaru/5-7 Toyota/4-9 VW/4-5 Volvo/6 And that’s if you pay the full sticker price! Who does that The guy who thinks Taco Bell is a Mexican phone company Add the fact that dealerships have an overhead expense of 12 to 15 of revenue and you’d have to be brain dead to believe the invoice price is in the same area code as any cost number The auto industry is having a good laugh at how gullible we are It’s even flipping us off now with pricing for the Chrysler Pacific Hybrid minivan: invoice 44895 retail 44995!

– Noam Chomsky Why aren’t those auto-info old-boy clubs Kelley Blue Book Edmunds TrueCar carscom Consumer Reports etc telling you this Because they pocket 300 to 500 when you buy a car from dealers in their networks – money which comes from your pocket They’re in business to help dealers sell cars profitably not to help you get the lowest price If they told you the truth they’d be out of business tomorrow Our customers almost always beat their prices frequently by a lot That’s why over half of our orders come from previous customers and their referrals No Auto-Info Site Can Serve Two Masters He Serves Just One: You The New-Car Buyer Founder James Bragg a Yale and Harvard Business School graduate is a career-long change agent who has always challenged conventional wisdom With 20 years and over 65000 hours focused solely on this subject he’s the country’s most knowledgeable new-car buyers’ consumer advocate And unlike every old-boy club source of new-car info and advice including Consumer Reports he’s never taken a dime from dealers or automakers As a result he’s become the sole source of the long-hidden truth about the dealer invoice price dealer cash incentives and the only smart way to buy a new car in today’s market His Discovery That The Invoice Price Has Nothing To Do WithAny Dealer Cost Shocked Consumer Reports Into Killing ItsNew Car Price Service a major cash cow Since 1983! In November 2012 he proved to that organization and four other auto-info biggies that the dealer invoice price has had no relationship to any vehicle’s cost since 1994 invalidating the core assumption behind their target price advice The effectiveness of that ancient invoice-based negotiating approach is dead as a doornail Embarrassed by its two-decade failure to recognize that obvious fact Consumer Reports dumped its legendary ‘cash cow’ New Car Price Service – the one they claimed would tell you the dealer’s true cost which hasn’t been true for 20 years Can there be any stronger evidence that the way to get the best price has changed forever It is almost impossible to carry the torch of truth through a crowd without singeing somebody’s beard – George Christoph Lichtenberg MAY SHOULD BE AN EXCELLENT MONTH FOR NEW-CAR SHOPPING It’s the third month of the March-August peak-demand period when dealers push most aggressively for sales New car sales slipped 18 last year to 172 million about 300000 units behind 2016 January-April sales were flat inching up just 02 from year-ago helped mainly by increased fleet sales to rental car companies and businesses Overall sales are forecast to drop below 17 million this year for the first time in three years with current estimates between 167 and 169 million The market is more competitive than ever with automakers spending more on incentives to move the metal That puts you in the driver’s seat Why am I the only one telling you these important facts Because a my competitors aren’t curious enough to dig them out and/or b if they revealed them they’d jeopardize their entire revenue stream which comes from dealers and automakers not you For 25 years I’ve been on a mission to unearth and expose the long-hidden truths that Consumer Reports TrueCar Edmunds Carscom Kelley Blue Book and the auto industry don’t want you to know Those facts demolish all their conventional wisdom about how to buy a car and they transfer the negotiating leverage from the dealers to you Isn’t it time you stopped looking at the way to buy a new car through their rear-view mirrors PS Will you visit me when I enter the witness protection program JAMES BRAGG HOW TO ORDER THE PACKAGE AND WHEN AND HOW YOU’LL GET IT To place an order on our secure encrypted order form click on the Ordering link in the upper left column If you’d prefer to place a phone order or if you have questions that aren’t answered on our web site you may call our order desk at 1-562-433-8489 between 9:15AM and 4:00PM Pacific time Monday through Friday To see the vehicles for which we have pricing info click on the Auto Pricing link in that column Normal Delivery Timing: 99 of our customers request email delivery This is a two-person information boutique We usually send email orders by the next business day If we get swamped it could take another day or two We’ll be here 562-433-8489 to answer your questions and analyze your best lease offer weekdays between 9:15 AM and 4:00 PM Pacific time For a sneak peek at what you’ll get for 4495 scroll down to What’s In The Fighting Chance Package The Dealer Invoice Price Has Become a Bloated Imposter That Has Had Nothing To Do With Any New Car’s Real Cost For Over Twenty Years! And The Industry Moves It Further From Any Cost As noted above Bragg proved it to senior execs of Consumer Reports Kelley Blue Book Edmunds Carscom and TrueCar in a 11/27/12 USA TODAY Automotive Roundtable discussion of whether online car shopping and information services are believable and are relevant in today’s market The centerpiece of that meeting was the bombshell exhibit that shocked them To see it Click here You could have heard a pin drop Incredibly no one was aware of a game-changing fact that had been in front of their noses for 17 years! It’s their worst nightmare because it exposes their pay what others paid as terrible advice Bragg asked the Consumer Reports person Who’s been running your New Car Price Service for the past 20 years Rip Van Winkle He was not amused To read much of the USA TODAY Don’t Trust That Invoice Price write-up on that meeting in which Bragg was dubbed a peppery contrarian click here To understand how laughable new-car pricing is today check out the tiny percentage differences between the base invoice and retail/sticker prices for each brand: Acura/5-7 Audi/7 BMW/6 Buick/4-5 Cadillac/5 Chevy/5-7 Dodge/3-4 Ford/1-7 Genesis/5-7 GMC/5-7 Honda/3-9 Hyundai/3-7 Infiniti/7 Jeep/2-5 Kia/5-7 Lexus/5-8 Lincoln/4-5 Mazda/3-5 Mercedes/7 Mitsubishi/2-3 Nissan/2-7 Ram/4-9 Subaru/5-7 Toyota/4-9 VW/4-5 Volvo/6 And that’s if you pay the full sticker price! Who does that The guy who thinks Taco Bell is a Mexican phone company Add the fact that dealerships have an overhead expense of 12 to 15 of revenue and you’d have to be brain dead to believe the invoice price is in the same area code as any cost number The auto industry is having a good laugh at how gullible we are It’s even flipping us off now with pricing for the Chrysler Pacific Hybrid minivan: invoice 44895 retail 44995! Yet all the info and advice on those big auto-info websites is based on our swallowing – hook line and sinker – the preposterous notion that for decades automakers have been telling everyone what their dealers pay for their cars If that were true dealers would go ballistic But they don’t and they never did even before the Internet arrived Your responsibility as a person is to constantly update your positions on as many things as possible If you don’t contradict yourself regularly you’re not thinking – Malcolm Gladwell The inside story of the discovery of that game-changing fact is told in our book Letting The Cat Out Of The Bag: How The Auto Industry ‘Redesigned’ The Dealer invoice Price When The Internet Arrived available in paperback and Kindle format at Amazon To read the back cover copy Preface Table of Contents and the first four chapters click here If you’d like a author-signed copy 1495 including postage you can add that to your order for the Fighting Chance information package Here’s Bragg’s Take On Those Consumer Auto Pricing Sites Those sites are: a pitching the range of what other clueless shoppers have paid as the holy grail of transaction prices b using rebates which everyone gets and a comparison of their prices to the full sticker price which almost no one pays to inflate their claims of savings from using their services and c sending you on a ‘milk run’ to a small number of dealers in their networks who relish the thought of selling you a car at those prices and reward those conduit sites handsomely with the advertising and/or finder’s fees of 300 to 500 that comes out of your pocket Question: When you’re thinking about getting a new car are you sitting there saying Gee I hope I get a price that’s close to what everyone else is paying We don’t get to choose what is trueWe only get to choose what we do about it – Kami Garcia These Are The Facts About How Most Dealer Incentive Programs Work Today It’s 2017 not 1994 and that world isn’t flat anymore it’s round 90 of the bucks spent on dealer cash are in multi-month programs based on total sales targets and issues like customers’ ratings of their selling dealerships NOT sales of specific vehicles The rewards can be five to six-figure bonuses Some are stair-step promotions in which per-vehicle bonuses increase as dealers reach higher volume thresholds And no one can tell you any dealership’s target or performance level or when these programs start and end So reaching month-end goals along the way is crucially important There’s a lot of seasonality in the business and dealers can’t go into the last month 15 behind where they should have been based on that seasonal pattern That keeps steady sales pressure on month after month Dealers trailing their monthly targets near month-end will sell for much less and that’s likely to be different dealers each month WHAT’S IN THE FIGHTING CHANCE PACKAGE You’ll have the only independent unbiased source of truthful information and powerful negotiating advice on the Internet We’ve been focused single-mindedly on this subject since before the Dead Sea got sick and much of our knowledge has come from our customers’ feedback

dealer invoice pricing data for the vehicles you’re considering covering all the trim levels and equipment packages Here’s a current list of model pricing available You’ll also get these insightful fact-based articles by Mr Bragg most of them information no other auto-info site will tell you Focus only on those relevant to your purchase or lease How We Abandoned Our Inborn Common Sense About New-Car Pricing How The Industry Has Turned The Invoice Price Into A Bloated ImposterBy Continually Raising It By More Than The MSRP For Over Two Decades How New-Car Dealers Make The Big Bucks And How

changing realities in the retail car business Sometimes the changes are dramatic For example the method for getting competitive bids differs substantially from the arms-length/one-step fax or email attack process we recommended several years ago At other times the changes are small but represent worthwhile improvements The suggested wording in the note you’ll send dealers is fine-tuned often The package you’d receive today will typically include several insightful changes compared to the one you ordered years ago The Cost Of This Unique Package 4495 Includes all the information you need for any one vehicle Additional vehicles: 1500 each More than half of our customers add one or more additional vehicles as fall-back alternatives This could become a small but wise 1500 decision if you find it difficult to deal on your first choice Considering the substantial cost of the new vehicle you’re about to buy or lease isn’t this a relatively small price to pay for the comprehensive

For openers no dealer wants you to understand this: Every new car is a commodity the same vehicle with the same price structure at every dealership In the art of the deal the winner is always the one with the leverage And there’s ZERO LEVERAGE in walking into a car store and haggling You’re playing an away game and no one there is rooting for your team That dealer’s competitor isn’t the other brands it’s the other dealers who sell his brand And the winning leverage always comes from having several of them compete for your business Here’s an example: A customer got 9 dealers to compete for a redesigned 2017 Honda CR-V without leaving his home or office and paid 1090 below invoice The eight other bids were 900 below 510 below 410 below 180 below and 300 over invoice 460 over 530 over and 930 over – a 2020 spread from low to high! The winning Sales Manager said This is the only smart way to buy a car But if everyone did it this way we’d be out of business And that store may have been the next month’s high bidder depending on how it was doing then vs its target Question: What should we have told him was a good price for that car Any number we mentioned would have been bone stupid And that’s true for any car you want Either you repeat the same conventional doctrines everybody is saying or else you say something true and it will sound like it’s from Neptune – Noam Chomsky Why aren’t those auto-info old-boy clubs Kelley Blue Book Edmunds TrueCar carscom Consumer Reports etc telling you this Because they pocket 300 to 500 when you buy a car from dealers in their networks – money which comes from your pocket They’re in business to help dealers sell cars profitably not to help you get the lowest price If they told you the truth they’d be out of business tomorrow Our customers almost always beat their prices frequently by a lot That’s why over half of our orders come from previous customers and their referrals No Auto-Info Site Can Serve Two Masters He Serves Just One: You The New-Car Buyer Founder James Bragg a Yale and Harvard Business School graduate is a career-long change agent who has always challenged conventional wisdom With 20 years and over 65000 hours focused solely on this subject he’s the country’s most knowledgeable new-car buyers’ consumer advocate And unlike every old-boy club source of new-car info and advice including Consumer Reports he’s never taken a dime from dealers or automakers As a result he’s become the sole source of the long-hidden truth about the dealer invoice price dealer cash incentives and the only smart way to buy a new car in today’s market His Discovery That The Invoice Price Has Nothing To Do WithAny Dealer Cost Shocked Consumer Reports Into Killing ItsNew Car Price Service a major cash cow Since 1983!

And The Industry Moves It Further From Any Cost As noted above Bragg proved it to senior execs of Consumer Reports Kelley Blue Book Edmunds Carscom and TrueCar in a 11/27/12 USA TODAY Automotive Roundtable discussion of whether online car shopping and information services are believable and are relevant in today’s market The centerpiece of that meeting was the bombshell exhibit that shocked them To see it Click here You could have heard a pin drop Incredibly no one was aware of a game-changing fact that had been in front of their noses for 17 years! It’s their worst nightmare because it exposes their pay what others paid as terrible advice Bragg asked the Consumer Reports person Who’s been running your New Car Price Service for the past 20 years Rip Van Winkle He was not amused To read much of the USA TODAY Don’t Trust That Invoice Price write-up on that meeting in which Bragg was dubbed a peppery contrarian click here To understand how laughable new-car pricing is today check out the tiny percentage differences between the base invoice and retail/sticker prices for each brand: Acura/5-7 Audi/7 BMW/6 Buick/4-5 Cadillac/5 Chevy/5-7 Dodge/3-4 Ford/1-7 Genesis/5-7 GMC/5-7 Honda/3-9 Hyundai/3-7 Infiniti/7 Jeep/2-5 Kia/5-7 Lexus/5-8 Lincoln/4-5 Mazda/3-5 Mercedes/7 Mitsubishi/2-3 Nissan/2-7 Ram/4-9 Subaru/5-7 Toyota/4-9 VW/4-5 Volvo/6 And that’s if you pay the full sticker price! Who does that The guy who thinks Taco Bell is a Mexican phone company Add the fact that dealerships have an overhead expense of 12 to 15 of revenue and you’d have to be brain dead to believe the invoice price is in the same area code as any cost number The auto industry is having a good laugh at how gullible we are It’s even flipping us off now with pricing for the Chrysler Pacific Hybrid minivan: invoice 44895 retail 44995! Yet all the info and advice on those big auto-info websites is based on our swallowing – hook line and sinker – the preposterous notion that for decades automakers have been telling everyone what their dealers pay for their cars If that were true dealers would go ballistic But they don’t and they never did even before the Internet arrived Your responsibility as a person is to constantly update your positions on as many things as possible If you don’t contradict yourself regularly you’re not thinking – Malcolm Gladwell The inside story of the discovery of that game-changing fact is told in our book Letting The Cat Out Of The Bag: How The Auto Industry ‘Redesigned’ The Dealer invoice Price When The Internet Arrived available in paperback and Kindle format at Amazon To read the back cover copy Preface Table of Contents and the first four chapters click here If you’d like a author-signed copy 1495 including postage you can add that to your order for the Fighting Chance information package Here’s Bragg’s Take On Those Consumer Auto Pricing Sites Those sites are: a pitching the range of what other clueless shoppers have paid as the holy grail of transaction prices b using rebates which everyone gets and a comparison of their prices to the full sticker price which almost no one pays to inflate their claims of savings from using their services and c sending you on a ‘milk run’ to a small number of dealers in their networks who relish the thought of selling you a car at those prices and reward those conduit sites handsomely with the advertising and/or finder’s fees of 300 to 500 that comes out of your pocket Question: When you’re thinking about getting a new car are you sitting there saying Gee I hope I get a price that’s close to what everyone else is paying We don’t get to choose what is trueWe only get to choose what we do about it – Kami Garcia These Are The Facts About How Most Dealer Incentive Programs Work Today It’s 2017 not 1994 and that world isn’t flat anymore it’s round 90 of the bucks spent on dealer cash are in multi-month programs based on total sales targets and issues like customers’ ratings of their selling dealerships NOT sales of specific vehicles The rewards can be five to six-figure bonuses Some are stair-step promotions in which per-vehicle bonuses increase as dealers reach higher volume thresholds And no one can tell you any dealership’s target or performance level or when these programs start and end So reaching month-end goals along the way is crucially important There’s a lot of seasonality in the business and dealers can’t go into the last month 15 behind where they should have been based on that seasonal pattern That keeps steady sales pressure on month after month Dealers trailing their monthly targets near month-end will sell for much less and that’s likely to be different dealers each month WHAT’S IN THE FIGHTING CHANCE PACKAGE You’ll have the only independent unbiased source of truthful information

order here on a secure encrypted order form at any time Special Message To Previous Customers The Fighting Chance package is always changing to reflect new knowledge and the best ways to deal with the changing realities in the retail car business Sometimes the changes are dramatic For example the method for getting competitive bids differs substantially from the arms-length/one-step fax or email attack process we recommended several years ago At other times the changes are small but represent worthwhile improvements The suggested wording in the note you’ll send dealers is fine-tuned often The package you’d receive today will typically include several insightful changes compared to the one you ordered years ago The Cost Of This Unique Package 4495 Includes all the information you need for any one vehicle Additional vehicles: 1500 each More than half of our customers add one or more additional vehicles as fall-back alternatives This could become a small but wise 1500 decision if you find it difficult to deal on your first choice Considering the substantial cost of the new vehicle you’re about to buy or lease isn’t this a relatively small price to pay for the comprehensive Fighting Chance information package Important Note: This is a service for NEW VEHICLES ONLY We have no information on used vehicles Also we have NO CANADIAN PRICING DATA Copyright © 2017 Fighting

ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRST-Z/W Delores Thompson Kimberly Fletcher Steve Wexler Jeff Marcu Amelia Earhart Carlo Escario and Jeff Baugh 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

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

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

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 condition and the extraordinary care that saved his life And then Jimmy looked into the camera and told all of us in Washington to get real about health insurance and make sure every baby Billy had a fighting chance Night after night he sparred with the politicians who tried to take health insurance from millions of Americans In the end we stopped them with one vote in the Senate and one great

Marinko closely associated with KABC for years is moving to Winter Park Florida near Orlando “Besides the obvious economics we simply feel lost here in California” wrote Rob on his Facebook page “This is not an ad campaign for Florida as it has its own unique challenges We feel our views and quaint law-abiding nature is not represented by anyone in power here It’s not all about the politics and feeling generally unwelcome until tax time We will have more time to spend out of our cars and doing stuff we enjoy As you get older you find that’s a big deal Farewell Cali!

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

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

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!

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 of Fame in 2008 Nostalgia Sunday – 12 Years Ago Today Johnny Hayes Be Good April 15 2006 Johnny Hayes has been part of LA Radio in five decades His unique and distinctive voice and presentation was part of the landscape at Top 40 KRLA and Oldies KRTH for most of that time For decades lunch was never lunch without Johnny’s “Big 11” countdown show His life story is filled with major tent poles the envy of any personality The legendary program director Bill Drake hired Johnny at WAKE-Atlanta on Johnny’s 21st birthday Johnny Bill Drake and Paul Drew were all on the air at WAKE together in 1961 Johnny was on the stage as part of the KRLA jock line-up at the Beatles concerts at the Hollywood Bowl and Dodger Stadium In 1983 and 1984 he won Billboard’s Personality of the Year and was the only non-morning drive winner in 1984 In the next few days you’ll read about his fascinating life the influence of Art Laboe on his career the week he was fired only to be rehired before the week was out and how the pd that fired him was himself fired his friendship with Bill Drake KRLA as the “Avis” of Top 40 radio always trying harder behind KFWB or KHJ the role that Emperor Bob Hudson play in his life and life without K-EARTH “A very vivid early recollection of radio was sitting with my mama my daddy and my grandparents around the radio listening to Gabriel Heater who gave war news in World WarII” reminisced Johnny over lunch at a trendy restaurant in North Hollywood “Listening to the war news was very very important Radio stations would normally broadcast orchestras or bands from hotels and big showrooms live on the air When WWII ended I’d say from 1945 on the Big Bands were touring but it came to a point where it was no longer practical or economical to get 40 50 60 people in buses and take them around the country to broadcast live and be on radio stations And it was during this period the live band broadcasts gave way to more radio dramas and serials – ‘The Shadow’ ‘The Lone Ranger’ ‘Gangbusters and those shows It seems to me it was in the early 50s that I started hearing what later became known as disc jockeys” As a youngster Johnny used to press his ear up against the speaker of the family radio and he discovered that records sounded different according to what jock had played them “I started paying more and more attention to disc jockeys I visited a radio station in my hometown – Macon Georgia – met the program director and started hanging around the station” remembered Johnny “That’s the great thing about being born in a small town You could hang around a station and sit in the booth with a guy I was hired without any experience to do a show on a Saturday because the program director and his wife were having a party and he didn’t have anybody to take his place He put me on the air with no experience and that was the most terror I had ever known The records seemingly lasted for 5 seconds and I was so scared that I would not only let records run out but there were other records that no sooner did they start that I would pick the arm off of them while they were playing You’re laughing” He acknowledged that he has a recurring dream to this day – about being on the air at a station and everything going wrong “You can’t reach the mike switch Or you can’t get back the studio in time There was one thing I could never do and that is read 60 second live commercials And in my dreams I’m always given dozens of 60 second spots to read which are impossible In the 50s – and I went on the air in 1959 – they had to do a 15 minute world news round-up at the top of the hour and at the half hour there were 5 minute newscasts Well that was 20 minutes of news all live by the disc jockey There were hundreds of words I didn’t know how to pronounce There was a great deal of news during the late 50s about Patrice Lumumba and news people in Africa There was nobody that worked at the station that knew enough about world events to be able to even pronounce the words either They would just strike them out I would get to Patrice Lumumba and I would just blaze right over the record and go from the word before his name to the word after Sometimes on a newscast I would say ‘It’s June 35th 1959’ I never know what would come out of my mouth” Johnny’s grandfather was a cotton farmer in South Georgia Johnny’s dad attended the University of Georgia He was with the Georgia Power Company for almost 40 years Johnny’s father grew up in a little town called Sasser Georgia which coincidentally was next to a small town called Dawson the birthplace of Otis Redding “My mother was from another small town in Georgia Cochran and somehow they met in Macon and that’s where I was born in 1939” said Johnny “I never asked them or if I did I forgot how they met But in those days in the ‘30s people met at dances and things like that” Johnny said his parents had a wonderful marriage “They loved each other terribly I’m very grateful that I had the parents that I did There was no drinking in the house My mom spent all day long trying to make life a little more pleasant for daddy and me She’d get up at 6 or 7 in the morning and start shelling peas and start cooking You know in the South they start cooking around 9 10 11 in the morning for a 7 o’clock dinner You smell it all day long” He lost his mother first “She died in 1973 of pancreatic cancer Never been sick a day in her life She had the strength of a horse” said Johnny “One day she got sick and it was cancer Then my daddy lived until 1984 and he died of lung cancer though he had not smoked in over 40 years No I don’t know if the damage had already been done like Don Steele had not smoked in many decades yet he died of lung cancer Now I haven’t had a cigarette in 31 years and I recently told my doctor that I was losing so many friends and going to so many funerals and I told him ‘My friends are just dropping left and right none of them smoked none of them drank’ And he said ‘What should I do’ And I said ‘I’d like to have some X-rays done on my chest to see if I’ve got any problem’ Came out clean as a whistle…no damage from cigarettes Neither my mama nor my daddy had ever been sick a day in their life until they got sick and died” Johnny’s father never understood radio or his son’s success “My daddy was the son of a cotton farmer and he thought I should go to work for AS Hatcher Company which was a wholesale hardware company as a salesman He said ‘Those guys make good money’ I mean radio was all that was ever on my mind I didn’t know you could just walk into a station and luck had it that the guy had to go home and he put me on the air But that’s how my career started My daddy never understood it We had a conversation in 1963 when I was at KYA in San Francisco and he said ‘Johnny don’t you understand if you went to work at AS Hatcher Company you could be driving a nice car now’ And I said “Well daddy I have a new Cadillac Coupe DeVille and he just couldn’t grasp that you could be on the radio and get paid for it He wanted me to go to school and all sorts of things But I saved him a lot of money by not going to college in Georgia” Email Saturday 41418 News Was the Pitts “I was greatly saddened by the passing of Don Pitts He was my first agent in Los Angeles and continued to be a dear friend through his years of retirement He always loved to talk always returned phone calls and treated people with respect Many of today’s agents who have such a high opinion of themselves should take a page from Don’s book It’s highly likely I put together the aircheck you have for him He came over to my house on quite a few occasions and we went through archives of tapes and made several different ones We would talk for hours If you knew Don which I’m sure you did you know what I mean I would meet Don and Gary Owens at Jerry’s in Encino on occasion for lunch I’ve saved voicemails from Gary on my answering machine He was another terrific gentleman of the business The first time I sent Don a demo was when I was in San Francisco and he called me back We were on the phone for an hour talking radio stories etc Again love your LARadio emails I read them every day You’re a great person for keeping all of this going It’s got to be a lot of work RIP Don Pitts I’ll truly miss him” – Craig Roberts More Pitts “I’m very sorry to learn of Don Pitts’ passing He was hugely popular with a fabulous sense of humor Back in the mid-50s Don Sherwood ruled at KSFO-San Francisco Two or three times a week at the Fairmont Hotel I had breakfast with Don Pitts Don Sherwood and Herb Caen Great laughs and good ties He was a special friend” – Don Graham Pitts Aging “Being born and raised in the Bay Area I’m old enough to remember Don Pitts on the air” – Tom Bernstein Cumulus Concern “I saw the speculation about Michael Savage in today’s column It seems that Cumulus is cutting like crazy In the New York market not only did they cut Don Imus loose when they moved Bernie McGuirk and Sid Rosenberg a local show to mornings WABC replaced them with a syndicated show out of DC hosted by Chris Plante He’s a low budget low talent Rush Limbaugh wannabe It will do a zero rating in NY as there’s nothing new it’s not entertaining and it sure doesn’t have any NY feel to it Cumulus which had been going in the right direction prior to its chapter 11 decision is definitely in reverse They were local in NY from 6a to 3p and again from 5-6p Now they are only local from 6-9a and noon to 3 They are on the road to destroying WABC as they destroyed KABC” – Bob Scott I am Not a Victim – Larry Gifford April 13 2018 Wednesday was World Parkinson’s Day and it was the day that Larry Gifford former program director at KSPN announced for the first time publicly that he has been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease Larry starts his story with an observation from his son: “Daddy why’s your arm shaking” That question came one January night in 2017 “My outstretched arm was trying to hand my eight-year-old son a glass of water It was shaking uncontrollably I wouldn’t have an answer for my son for seven months when I was diagnosed His diagnosis officially arrived last August after months of tests to eliminate much scarier and deadly diseases “My symptoms were a disparate collection annoyances a shuffling foot-dragging walk tremors in my arm loss of coordination and balance and difficulties speaking sleeping and focusing sometimes I never linked the symptoms as one thing I assumed I was tired or my shoes were too heavy or I was just out of shape By the time I was diagnosed I probably had been battling the disease for a decade Symptoms began appearing three or four years ago and through those undiagnosed years doctors tell me I lost approximately eight per cent of my brain cells” Parkinson’s is a relentless degenerative disorder of the central nervous system It directly impacts nerves that handle motor functions for the body as a whole As the disease advances the body slows down arms and legs stiffen and shake with a whole slew of fun surprises arising “For me each day is different I take pills four to five times each day which control my tremors My whole right side is slower than my left The delay causes a shuffle drag or clomp in my walk and I can’t really run anymore without increasing my chances of a face plant not that I ran much to begin with” Read Larry’s honest details of what is happening with him Larry says he and his family create new memories each day that he hopes aren’t stolen by Parkinson’s In other news Urban One founder/chairperson Cathy Hughes accepted the 2018 Lowry Mays Excellence in Broadcasting Award from the Broadcasters Foundation of America ceremony at the NAB Show in Las Vegas … Andy

like Catalina’s locally and others in Florida She needs a booking agent to represent her to keep up with demand If you know a good booking agent get in touch with Graham at: thanksdggmailcom Is Savage Being Set Up April 12 2018 Rich Lieberman watches over all things media in the Bay Area His ear is uncanny about what is going on Twice last week he heard syndicated Talker Michael Savage based in San Francisco say on the air in case I’m not here you can always get me on my website Facebook and Twitter Could Cumulus be screwing with him wondered Lieberman “More to the point could Savage be their latest cost-cutting victim It happened to Don Imus in NY it also effectively ended Ronn Owens run in the Bay Area after 42 years and there’s more cost-cutting on the way Why Cumulus is in the midst of a Chapter 11 Bankruptcy proceeding and is letting go of high-priced air talent those who make over six-figures are supposedly high on the hit list” Savage offered a terse no comment when Lieberman asked Savage via phone about the speculation about the conservative talker’s future He did indicate that his numbers are consistently high especially his streaming numbers Said Lieberman: “Oh Savage’s contract is up before the end of the year Might this be the opening round of negotiations – after all Cumulus will have a sufficient amount of operating cash after its BK is settled although that’s still being litigated by a judge who might not care about broadcast ratings Time will tell” News Is the Pitts Subscribers to LARadio received via email the news about the passing of VO agent Don Pitts Word came from the death of Don via blogger Mark Evanier As an agent Don had some great VO clients: June Foray Casey Kasem Mel Blanc Robert W Morgan Orson Welles Paul Winchell Gary Owens and Rod Roddy Don started in radio in 1945 but in the sixties and he made a move to Los Angeles and into representing other folks in front of microphones An aircheck of Don working KGO and KYA is here “Blessed with boyish good looks but saddled with a thick high voice he wasn’t a natural radio star” wrote Ben Fong Torres in the San Francisco Chronicle Don was thought to be around 90 years of age A Peek Into a

I was the only candidate James Bragg As a result: 144258 new-car shoppers have used the Fighting Chance 3-step competitive bidding process to get the lowest price possible without walking into a single car store to haggle! With this empowering guide to buying or leasing a new car you’ll be in total control conducting the process from your home or office among several dealers that you choose The guide teaches you exactly what to say and do and when to do it And unlike every other new-car info site we’ll be here to answer your questions by phone every step of the way eg If you’re leasing we’ll go through the best-offer numbers with you before you sign the papers You Need The Whole Truth About The New-Car Business And This Is The Only Website Where You’ll Find It WARNING! Because I’m opening your eyes to the truth they’ve all been hiding our facts and action recommendations contradict EVERYTHING you’re being told and encouraged to do by TrueCar Edmunds Kelley Blue Book Carscom Consumer Reports and the other new-car info sites which get all their revenue from the automakers and dealers they send you to For openers no dealer wants you to understand this: Every new car is a commodity the same vehicle with the same price structure at every dealership In the art of the deal the winner is always the one with the leverage And there’s ZERO LEVERAGE in walking into a car store and haggling You’re playing an away game and no one there is rooting for your team That dealer’s competitor isn’t the other brands it’s the other dealers who sell his brand And the winning leverage always comes from having several of them compete for your business Here’s an example: A customer got 9 dealers to compete for a redesigned 2017 Honda CR-V without leaving his home or office and paid 1090 below invoice The eight other bids were 900 below 510 below 410 below 180 below and 300 over invoice 460 over 530 over and 930 over – a 2020 spread from low to high! The winning Sales Manager said This is the only smart way to buy a car But if everyone did it this way we’d be out of business And that store may have been the next month’s high bidder depending on how it was doing then vs its target Question: What should we have told him was a good price for that car Any number we mentioned would have been bone stupid And that’s true for any car you want Either you repeat the same conventional doctrines everybody is saying or else you say something true and it will sound like it’s from Neptune – Noam Chomsky Why aren’t those auto-info old-boy clubs Kelley Blue Book Edmunds TrueCar carscom Consumer Reports etc telling you this Because they pocket 300 to 500 when you buy a car from dealers in their networks – money which comes from your pocket They’re in business to help dealers sell cars profitably not to help you get the lowest price If they told you the truth they’d be out of business tomorrow Our customers almost always beat their prices frequently by a lot That’s why over half of our orders come from previous customers and their referrals No Auto-Info Site Can Serve Two Masters He Serves Just One: You The New-Car Buyer Founder James Bragg a Yale and Harvard Business School graduate is a career-long change agent who has always challenged conventional wisdom With 20 years and over 65000 hours focused solely on this subject he’s the country’s most knowledgeable new-car buyers’ consumer advocate And unlike every old-boy club source of new-car info and advice including Consumer Reports he’s never taken a dime from dealers or automakers As a result he’s become the sole source of the long-hidden truth about the dealer invoice price dealer cash incentives and the only smart way to buy a new car in today’s market His Discovery That The Invoice Price Has Nothing To Do WithAny Dealer Cost Shocked Consumer Reports Into Killing ItsNew Car Price Service a major cash cow Since 1983! In November 2012 he proved to that organization and four other auto-info biggies that the dealer invoice price has had no relationship to any vehicle’s cost since 1994 invalidating the core assumption behind their target price advice The effectiveness of that ancient invoice-based negotiating approach is dead as a doornail Embarrassed by its two-decade failure to recognize that obvious fact Consumer Reports dumped its legendary ‘cash cow’ New Car Price Service – the one they claimed would tell you the dealer’s true cost which hasn’t been true for 20 years Can there be any stronger evidence that the way to get the best price has changed forever It is almost impossible to carry the torch of truth through a crowd without singeing somebody’s beard – George Christoph Lichtenberg MAY SHOULD BE AN EXCELLENT MONTH FOR NEW-CAR SHOPPING It’s the third month of the March-August peak-demand period when dealers push most aggressively for sales New car sales slipped 18 last year to 172 million about 300000 units behind 2016 January-April sales were flat inching up just 02 from year-ago helped mainly by increased fleet sales to rental car companies and businesses Overall sales are forecast to drop below 17 million this year for the first time in three years with current estimates between 167 and 169 million The market is more competitive than ever with automakers spending more on incentives to move the metal That puts you in the driver’s seat Why am I the only one telling you these important facts Because a my competitors aren’t curious enough to dig them out and/or b if they revealed them they’d jeopardize their entire revenue stream which comes from dealers and automakers not you For 25 years I’ve been on a mission to unearth and expose the long-hidden truths that Consumer Reports TrueCar Edmunds Carscom Kelley Blue Book and the auto industry don’t want you to know Those facts demolish all their conventional wisdom about how to buy a car and they transfer the negotiating leverage from the dealers to you Isn’t it time you stopped looking at the way to buy a new car through their rear-view mirrors PS Will you visit me when I enter the witness protection program JAMES BRAGG HOW TO ORDER THE PACKAGE AND WHEN AND HOW YOU’LL GET IT To place an order on our secure encrypted order form click on the Ordering link in the upper left column If you’d prefer to place a phone order or if you have questions that aren’t answered on our web site you may call our order desk at 1-562-433-8489 between 9:15AM and 4:00PM Pacific time Monday through Friday To see the vehicles for which we have pricing info click on the Auto Pricing link in that column Normal Delivery Timing: 99 of our customers request email delivery This is a two-person information boutique We usually send email orders by the next business day If we get swamped it could take another day or two We’ll be here 562-433-8489 to answer your questions and analyze your best lease offer weekdays between 9:15 AM and 4:00 PM Pacific time For a sneak peek at what you’ll get for 4495 scroll down to What’s In The Fighting Chance Package The Dealer Invoice Price Has Become a Bloated Imposter That Has Had Nothing To Do With Any New Car’s Real Cost For Over Twenty Years! And The Industry Moves It Further From Any Cost As noted above Bragg proved it to senior execs of Consumer Reports Kelley Blue Book Edmunds Carscom and TrueCar in a 11/27/12 USA TODAY Automotive Roundtable discussion of whether online car shopping and information services are believable and are relevant in today’s market The centerpiece of that meeting was the bombshell exhibit that shocked them To see it Click here You could have heard a pin drop Incredibly no one was aware of a game-changing fact that had been in front of their noses for 17 years! It’s their worst nightmare because it exposes their pay what others paid as terrible advice Bragg asked the Consumer Reports person Who’s been running your New Car Price Service for the past 20 years Rip Van Winkle He was not amused To read much of the USA TODAY Don’t Trust That Invoice Price write-up on that meeting in which Bragg was dubbed a peppery contrarian click here To understand how laughable new-car pricing is today check out the tiny percentage differences between the base invoice and retail/sticker prices for each brand: Acura/5-7 Audi/7 BMW/6 Buick/4-5 Cadillac/5 Chevy/5-7 Dodge/3-4 Ford/1-7 Genesis/5-7 GMC/5-7 Honda/3-9 Hyundai/3-7 Infiniti/7 Jeep/2-5 Kia/5-7 Lexus/5-8 Lincoln/4-5 Mazda/3-5 Mercedes/7 Mitsubishi/2-3 Nissan/2-7 Ram/4-9 Subaru/5-7 Toyota/4-9 VW/4-5 Volvo/6 And that’s if you pay the full sticker price! Who does that The guy who thinks Taco Bell is a Mexican phone company Add the fact that dealerships have an overhead expense of 12 to 15 of revenue and you’d have to be brain dead to believe the invoice price is in the same area code as any cost number The auto industry is having a good laugh at how gullible we are It’s even flipping us off now with pricing for the Chrysler Pacific Hybrid minivan: invoice 44895 retail 44995! Yet all the info and advice on those big auto-info websites is based on our swallowing – hook line and sinker – the preposterous notion that for decades automakers have been telling everyone what their dealers pay for their cars If that were true dealers would go ballistic But they don’t and they never did even before the Internet arrived Your responsibility as a person is to constantly update your positions on as many things as possible If you don’t contradict yourself regularly you’re not thinking – Malcolm Gladwell The inside story of the discovery of that game-changing fact is told in our book Letting The Cat Out Of The Bag: How The Auto Industry ‘Redesigned’ The Dealer invoice Price When The Internet Arrived available in paperback and Kindle format at Amazon To read the back cover

which everyone gets and a comparison of their prices to the full sticker price which almost no one pays to inflate their claims of savings from using their services and c sending you on a ‘milk run’ to a small number of dealers in their networks who relish the thought of selling you a car at those prices and reward those conduit sites handsomely with the advertising and/or finder’s fees of 300 to 500 that comes out of your pocket Question: When you’re thinking about getting a new car are you sitting there saying Gee I hope I get a price that’s close to what everyone else is paying We don’t get to choose what is trueWe only get to choose what we do about it – Kami Garcia These Are The Facts About How Most Dealer Incentive Programs Work Today It’s 2017 not 1994 and that world isn’t flat anymore it’s round 90 of the bucks spent on dealer cash are in multi-month programs based on total sales targets and issues like customers’ ratings of their selling dealerships NOT sales of specific vehicles The rewards can be five to six-figure bonuses Some are stair-step promotions in which per-vehicle bonuses increase as dealers reach higher volume thresholds And no one can tell you any dealership’s target or performance level or when these programs start and end So reaching month-end goals along the way is crucially important There’s a lot of seasonality in the business and dealers can’t go into the last month 15 behind where they should have been based on that seasonal pattern That keeps steady sales pressure on month after month Dealers trailing their monthly targets near month-end will sell for much less and that’s likely to be different dealers each month WHAT’S IN THE FIGHTING CHANCE PACKAGE You’ll have the only independent unbiased source of truthful information and powerful negotiating advice on the Internet We’ve been focused single-mindedly on this subject since before the Dead Sea got sick and much of our knowledge has come from our customers’ feedback

month to start the process You’ll receive our signature Big Picture analysis of how the brands and the specific vehicles you’re interested in have been doing in the market Are sales up or down so far this year Does the average dealer sell 2 per month or 22 This piece also reveals the current holdback information for brands that use it several don’t You’ll get the complete current sticker/MSRP and dealer invoice pricing data for the vehicles you’re considering covering all the trim levels and equipment packages Here’s a current list of model pricing available You’ll also get these insightful fact-based articles by Mr Bragg most of them information no other auto-info site will tell you Focus only on those relevant to your purchase or lease How We Abandoned Our Inborn Common Sense About New-Car Pricing How The Industry Has Turned The Invoice Price Into A Bloated ImposterBy Continually Raising It By More Than The MSRP For Over Two Decades How New-Car Dealers Make The Big Bucks And How They Don’t Today Incentives Often Differ From Market To Market Here’s How To Check The Offers Where You Are The Two Big ‘Fake News’ Come-ons To Ignore The Myth Of Vehicle-Specific Dealer Cash Incentives The Crucial Financial Importance Of A Dealership’s Customer Satisfaction Rating Important Note On The Pricing Of Dealer-Installed Accessories Can You Get The Vehicle Configuration You Want Things To Consider About Placing A Factory Order Have You Chosen A Crashworthy Vehicle Thoughts On Buying A Demo Or Last Year’s Leftover Model Should You Buy An Extended Warranty Dealing With A

you tell us you’re leasing or undecided Our unique package includes all the information you need to negotiate the best price on for any one vehicle Additional vehicles are 15 each You may place an order here on a secure encrypted order form at any time Special Message To Previous Customers The Fighting Chance package is always changing to reflect new knowledge and the best ways to deal with the changing realities in the retail car business Sometimes the changes are dramatic For example the method for getting competitive bids differs substantially from the arms-length/one-step fax or email attack process we recommended several years ago At other times the changes are small but represent worthwhile improvements The suggested wording in the note you’ll send dealers is fine-tuned often The package you’d receive today will typically include several insightful changes compared to the one you ordered years ago The Cost Of This Unique Package 4495 Includes all the information you need for any one vehicle Additional vehicles: 1500 each More than half of our customers add one or more additional vehicles as fall-back alternatives This could become a small but wise 1500 decision if you find it difficult to deal on your first choice Considering the substantial cost of the new vehicle you’re about to buy or lease isn’t this a relatively small price to pay for the comprehensive Fighting Chance information package Important Note: This is a service for NEW VEHICLES ONLY We have no information on used vehicles Also we have NO CANADIAN PRICING DATA Copyright © 2017 Fighting

His Discovery That The Invoice Price Has Nothing To Do WithAny Dealer Cost Shocked Consumer Reports Into Killing ItsNew Car Price Service a major cash cow Since 1983! In November 2012 he proved to that organization and four other auto-info biggies that the dealer invoice price has had no relationship to any vehicle’s cost since 1994 invalidating the core assumption behind their target price advice The effectiveness of that ancient invoice-based negotiating approach is dead as a doornail Embarrassed by its two-decade failure to recognize that obvious fact Consumer Reports dumped its legendary ‘cash cow’ New Car Price Service – the one they claimed would tell you the dealer’s true cost which hasn’t been true for 20 years Can there be any stronger evidence that the way to get the best price has changed forever It is almost impossible to carry the torch of truth through a crowd without singeing somebody’s beard – George Christoph Lichtenberg MAY SHOULD BE AN EXCELLENT MONTH FOR NEW-CAR SHOPPING It’s the third month of the March-August peak-demand period when dealers push most aggressively for sales New car sales slipped 18 last year to 172 million about 300000 units behind 2016 January-April sales were flat inching up just 02 from year-ago helped mainly by increased fleet sales to rental car companies and businesses Overall sales are forecast to drop below 17 million this year for the first time in three years with current estimates between 167 and 169 million The market is more competitive than ever with automakers spending more on incentives to move the metal That puts you in the driver’s seat Why am I the only one telling you these important facts Because a my competitors aren’t curious enough to dig them out and/or b if they revealed them they’d jeopardize their entire revenue stream which comes from dealers and automakers not you For 25 years I’ve been on a mission to unearth and expose the long-hidden truths that Consumer Reports TrueCar Edmunds Carscom Kelley Blue Book and the auto industry don’t want you to know Those facts demolish all their conventional wisdom about how to buy a car and they transfer the negotiating leverage from the dealers to you Isn’t it time you stopped looking at the way to buy a new car through their rear-view mirrors PS Will you visit me when I enter the witness protection program JAMES BRAGG HOW TO ORDER THE PACKAGE AND WHEN AND HOW YOU’LL GET IT To place an order on our secure encrypted order form click on the Ordering link in the upper left column If you’d prefer to place a phone order or if you have questions that aren’t answered on our web site you may call our order desk at 1-562-433-8489 between 9:15AM and 4:00PM Pacific time Monday through Friday To see the vehicles for which we have pricing info click on the Auto Pricing link in that column Normal Delivery Timing: 99 of our customers request email delivery This is a two-person information boutique We usually send email orders by the next business day If we get swamped it could take another day or two We’ll be here 562-433-8489 to answer your questions and analyze your best lease offer weekdays between 9:15 AM and 4:00 PM Pacific time For a sneak peek at what you’ll get for 4495 scroll down to What’s In The Fighting Chance Package The Dealer Invoice Price Has Become a Bloated Imposter That Has Had Nothing To Do With Any New Car’s Real Cost For Over Twenty Years! And The Industry Moves It Further From Any Cost As noted above Bragg proved it to senior execs of Consumer Reports Kelley Blue Book Edmunds Carscom and TrueCar in a 11/27/12 USA TODAY Automotive Roundtable discussion of whether online car shopping and information services are believable and are relevant in today’s market The centerpiece of that meeting was the bombshell exhibit that shocked them To see it Click here You could have heard a pin drop Incredibly no one was aware of a game-changing fact that had been in front of their noses for 17 years! It’s their worst nightmare because it exposes their pay what others paid as terrible advice Bragg asked the Consumer Reports person Who’s been running your New Car Price Service for the past 20 years Rip Van Winkle He was not amused To read much of the USA TODAY Don’t Trust That Invoice Price write-up on that meeting in which Bragg was dubbed a peppery contrarian click here To understand how laughable new-car pricing is today check out the tiny percentage differences between the base invoice and retail/sticker prices for each brand: Acura/5-7 Audi/7 BMW/6 Buick/4-5 Cadillac/5 Chevy/5-7 Dodge/3-4 Ford/1-7 Genesis/5-7 GMC/5-7 Honda/3-9 Hyundai/3-7 Infiniti/7 Jeep/2-5 Kia/5-7 Lexus/5-8 Lincoln/4-5 Mazda/3-5 Mercedes/7 Mitsubishi/2-3 Nissan/2-7 Ram/4-9 Subaru/5-7 Toyota/4-9 VW/4-5 Volvo/6 And that’s if you pay the full sticker price! Who does that The guy who thinks Taco Bell is a Mexican phone company Add the fact that dealerships have an overhead expense of 12 to 15 of revenue and you’d have to be brain dead to believe the invoice price is in the same area code as any cost number The auto industry is having a good laugh at how gullible we are It’s even flipping us off now with pricing for the Chrysler Pacific Hybrid minivan: invoice 44895 retail 44995! Yet all the info and advice on those big auto-info websites is based on our swallowing – hook line and sinker – the preposterous notion that for decades automakers have been telling everyone what their dealers pay for their cars If that were true dealers would go ballistic But they don’t and they never did even before the Internet arrived Your responsibility as a person is to constantly update your positions on as many things as possible If you don’t contradict yourself regularly you’re not thinking – Malcolm Gladwell The inside story of the discovery of that game-changing fact is told in our book Letting The Cat Out Of The Bag: How The Auto Industry ‘Redesigned’ The Dealer invoice Price When The Internet Arrived available in paperback and Kindle format at Amazon To read the back cover

James Bragg As a result: 144258 new-car shoppers have used the Fighting Chance 3-step competitive bidding process to get the lowest price possible without walking into a single car store to haggle! With this empowering guide to buying or leasing a new car you’ll be in total control conducting the process from your home or office among several dealers that you choose The guide teaches you exactly what to say and do and when to do it And unlike every other new-car info site we’ll be here to answer your questions by phone every step of the way eg If you’re leasing we’ll go through the best-offer numbers with you before you sign the papers You Need The Whole Truth About The New-Car Business And This Is The Only Website Where You’ll Find It WARNING! Because I’m opening your eyes to the truth they’ve all been hiding our facts and action recommendations contradict EVERYTHING you’re being told and encouraged to do by TrueCar Edmunds Kelley Blue Book Carscom Consumer Reports and the other new-car info sites which get all their revenue from the automakers and dealers they send you to For openers no dealer wants you to understand this: Every new car is a commodity the same vehicle with the same price structure at every dealership In the art of the deal the winner is always the one with the leverage And there’s ZERO LEVERAGE in walking into a car store and haggling You’re playing an away game and no one there is rooting for your team That dealer’s competitor isn’t the other brands it’s the other dealers who sell his brand And the winning leverage always comes from having several of them compete for your business Here’s an example: A customer got 9 dealers to compete for a redesigned 2017 Honda CR-V without leaving his home or office and paid 1090 below invoice The eight other bids were 900 below 510 below 410 below 180 below and 300 over invoice 460 over 530 over and 930 over – a 2020 spread from low to high! The winning Sales Manager said This is the only smart way to buy a car But if everyone did it this way we’d be out of business And that store may have been the next month’s high bidder depending on how it was doing then vs its target Question: What should we have told him was a good price for that car Any number we mentioned would have been bone stupid And that’s true for any car you want Either you repeat the same conventional doctrines everybody is saying or else you say something true and it will sound like it’s from Neptune – Noam Chomsky Why aren’t those auto-info old-boy clubs Kelley Blue Book Edmunds TrueCar carscom Consumer Reports etc telling you this Because they pocket 300 to 500 when you buy a car from dealers in their networks – money which comes from your pocket They’re in business to help dealers sell cars profitably not to help you get the lowest price If they told you the truth they’d be out of business tomorrow Our customers almost always beat their prices frequently by a lot That’s why over half of our orders come from previous customers and their referrals No Auto-Info Site Can Serve Two Masters He Serves Just One: You The New-Car Buyer Founder James Bragg a Yale and Harvard Business School graduate is a career-long change agent who has always challenged conventional wisdom With 20 years and over 65000 hours focused solely on this subject he’s the country’s most knowledgeable new-car buyers’ consumer advocate And unlike every old-boy club source of new-car info and advice including Consumer Reports he’s never taken a dime from dealers or automakers As a result he’s become the sole source of the long-hidden truth about the dealer invoice price dealer cash incentives and the only smart way to buy a new car in today’s market His Discovery That The Invoice Price Has Nothing To Do WithAny Dealer Cost Shocked Consumer Reports Into Killing ItsNew Car Price Service a major cash cow Since 1983! In November 2012 he proved to that organization and four other auto-info biggies that the dealer invoice price has had no relationship to any vehicle’s cost since 1994 invalidating the core assumption behind their target price advice The effectiveness of that ancient invoice-based negotiating approach is dead as a doornail Embarrassed by its two-decade failure to recognize that obvious fact Consumer Reports dumped its legendary ‘cash cow’ New Car Price Service – the one they claimed would tell you the dealer’s true cost which hasn’t been true for 20 years Can there be any stronger evidence that the way to get the best price has changed forever It is almost impossible to carry the torch of truth through a crowd without singeing somebody’s beard – George Christoph Lichtenberg MAY SHOULD BE AN EXCELLENT MONTH FOR NEW-CAR SHOPPING It’s the third month of the March-August peak-demand period when dealers push most aggressively for sales New car sales slipped 18 last year to 172 million about 300000 units behind 2016 January-April sales were flat inching up just 02 from year-ago helped mainly by increased fleet sales to rental car companies and businesses Overall sales are forecast to drop below 17 million this year for the first time in three years with current estimates between 167 and 169 million The market is more competitive than ever with automakers spending more on incentives to move the metal That puts you in the driver’s seat Why am I the only one telling you these important facts Because a my competitors aren’t curious enough to dig them out and/or b if they revealed them they’d jeopardize their entire revenue stream which comes from dealers and automakers not you For 25 years I’ve been on a mission to unearth and expose the long-hidden truths that Consumer Reports TrueCar Edmunds Carscom Kelley Blue Book and the auto industry don’t want you to know Those facts demolish all their conventional wisdom about how to buy a car and they transfer the negotiating leverage from the dealers to you Isn’t it time you stopped looking at the way to buy a new car through their rear-view mirrors PS Will you visit me when I enter the witness protection program JAMES BRAGG HOW TO ORDER THE PACKAGE AND WHEN AND HOW YOU’LL GET IT To place an order on our secure encrypted order form click on the Ordering link in the upper left column If you’d prefer to place a phone order or if you have questions that aren’t answered on our web site you may call our order desk at 1-562-433-8489 between 9:15AM and 4:00PM Pacific time Monday through Friday To see the vehicles for which we have pricing info click on the Auto Pricing link in that column Normal Delivery Timing: 99 of our customers request email delivery This is a two-person information boutique We usually send email orders by the next business day If we get swamped it could take another day or two We’ll be here 562-433-8489 to answer your questions and analyze your best lease offer weekdays between 9:15 AM and 4:00 PM Pacific time For a sneak peek at what you’ll get for 4495 scroll down to What’s In The Fighting Chance Package The Dealer Invoice Price Has Become a Bloated Imposter That Has Had Nothing To Do With Any New Car’s Real Cost For Over Twenty Years! And The Industry Moves It Further From Any Cost As noted above Bragg proved it to senior execs of Consumer Reports Kelley Blue Book Edmunds Carscom and TrueCar in a 11/27/12 USA TODAY Automotive Roundtable discussion of whether online car shopping and information services are believable and are relevant in today’s market The centerpiece of that meeting was the bombshell exhibit that shocked them To see it Click here You could have heard a pin drop Incredibly no one was aware of a game-changing fact that had been in front of their noses for 17 years! It’s their worst nightmare because it exposes their pay what others paid as terrible advice Bragg asked the Consumer Reports person Who’s been running your New Car Price Service for the past 20 years Rip Van Winkle He was not amused To read much of the USA TODAY Don’t Trust That Invoice Price write-up on that meeting in which Bragg was dubbed a peppery contrarian click here To understand how laughable new-car pricing is today check out the tiny percentage differences between the base invoice and retail/sticker prices for each brand: Acura/5-7 Audi/7 BMW/6 Buick/4-5 Cadillac/5 Chevy/5-7 Dodge/3-4 Ford/1-7 Genesis/5-7 GMC/5-7 Honda/3-9 Hyundai/3-7 Infiniti/7 Jeep/2-5 Kia/5-7 Lexus/5-8 Lincoln/4-5 Mazda/3-5 Mercedes/7 Mitsubishi/2-3 Nissan/2-7 Ram/4-9 Subaru/5-7 Toyota/4-9 VW/4-5 Volvo/6 And that’s if you pay the full sticker price! Who does that The guy who thinks Taco Bell is a Mexican phone company Add the fact that dealerships have an overhead expense of 12 to 15 of revenue and you’d have to be brain dead to believe the invoice price is in the same area code as any cost number The auto industry is having a good laugh at how gullible we are It’s even flipping us off now with pricing for the Chrysler Pacific Hybrid minivan: invoice 44895 retail 44995! Yet all the info and advice on those big auto-info websites is based on our swallowing – hook line and sinker – the preposterous notion that for decades automakers have been telling everyone what their dealers pay for their cars If that were true dealers would go ballistic But they don’t and they never did even before the Internet arrived Your responsibility as a person is to constantly update your positions on as many things as possible If you don’t contradict yourself regularly you’re not thinking – Malcolm Gladwell The inside story of the discovery of that game-changing fact is told in

dealership’s target or performance level or when these programs start and end So reaching month-end goals along the way is crucially important There’s a lot of seasonality in the business and dealers

Why aren’t those auto-info old-boy clubs Kelley Blue Book Edmunds TrueCar carscom Consumer Reports etc telling you this Because they pocket 300 to 500 when you buy a car from dealers in their networks – money which comes from your pocket They’re in business to help dealers sell cars profitably not to help you get the lowest price If they told you the truth they’d be out of business tomorrow Our customers almost always beat their prices frequently by a lot That’s why over half of our orders come from previous customers and their referrals No Auto-Info Site Can Serve Two Masters He Serves Just One: You The New-Car Buyer Founder James Bragg a Yale and Harvard Business School graduate is a career-long change agent who has always challenged conventional wisdom With 20 years and over 65000 hours focused solely on this subject he’s the country’s most knowledgeable new-car buyers’ consumer advocate And unlike every old-boy club source of new-car info and advice including Consumer Reports he’s never taken a dime from dealers or automakers As a result he’s become the sole source of the long-hidden truth about the dealer invoice price dealer cash incentives and the only smart way to buy a new car in today’s market His Discovery That The Invoice Price Has Nothing To Do WithAny Dealer Cost Shocked Consumer Reports Into Killing ItsNew Car Price Service a major cash cow Since 1983! In November 2012 he proved to that organization and four other auto-info biggies that the dealer invoice price has had no relationship to any vehicle’s cost since 1994 invalidating the core assumption behind their target price advice The effectiveness of that ancient invoice-based negotiating approach is dead as a doornail Embarrassed by its two-decade failure to recognize that obvious fact Consumer Reports dumped its legendary ‘cash cow’ New Car Price Service – the one they claimed would tell you the dealer’s true cost which hasn’t been true for 20 years Can there be any stronger evidence that the way to get the best price has changed forever It is almost impossible to carry the torch of truth through a crowd without singeing somebody’s beard – George Christoph Lichtenberg MAY SHOULD BE AN EXCELLENT MONTH FOR NEW-CAR SHOPPING It’s the third month of the March-August peak-demand period when dealers push most aggressively for sales New car sales slipped 18 last year to 172 million about 300000 units behind 2016 January-April sales were flat inching up just 02 from year-ago helped mainly by increased fleet sales to rental car companies and businesses Overall sales are forecast to drop below 17 million this year for the first time in three years with current estimates between 167 and 169 million The market is more competitive than ever with automakers spending more on incentives to move the metal That puts you in the driver’s seat Why am I the only one telling you these important facts Because a my competitors aren’t curious enough to dig them out and/or b if they revealed them they’d jeopardize their entire revenue stream which comes from dealers and automakers not you For 25 years I’ve been on a mission to unearth and expose the long-hidden truths that Consumer Reports TrueCar Edmunds Carscom Kelley Blue Book and the auto industry don’t want you to know Those facts demolish all their conventional wisdom about how to buy a car and they transfer the negotiating leverage from the dealers to you Isn’t it time you stopped looking at the way to buy a new car through their rear-view mirrors PS Will you visit me when I enter the witness protection program JAMES BRAGG HOW TO ORDER THE PACKAGE AND WHEN AND HOW YOU’LL GET IT To place an order on our secure encrypted order form click on the Ordering link in the upper left column If you’d prefer to place a phone order or if you have questions that aren’t answered on our web site you may call our order desk at 1-562-433-8489 between 9:15AM and 4:00PM Pacific time Monday through Friday To see the vehicles for which we have pricing info click on the Auto Pricing link in that column Normal Delivery Timing: 99 of our customers request email delivery This is a two-person information boutique We usually send email orders by the next business day If we get swamped it could take another day or two We’ll be here 562-433-8489 to answer your questions and analyze your best lease offer weekdays between 9:15 AM and 4:00 PM Pacific time For a sneak peek at what you’ll get for 4495 scroll down to What’s In The Fighting Chance Package The Dealer Invoice Price Has Become a Bloated Imposter That Has Had Nothing To Do With Any New Car’s Real Cost For Over Twenty Years! And The Industry Moves It Further From Any Cost As noted above Bragg proved it to senior execs of Consumer Reports Kelley Blue Book Edmunds Carscom and TrueCar in a 11/27/12 USA TODAY Automotive Roundtable discussion of whether online car shopping and information services are believable and are relevant in today’s market The centerpiece of that meeting was the bombshell exhibit that shocked them To see it Click here You could have heard a pin drop Incredibly no one was aware of a game-changing fact that had been in front of their noses for 17 years! It’s their worst nightmare because it exposes their pay what others paid as terrible advice Bragg asked the Consumer Reports person Who’s been running your New Car Price Service for the past 20 years Rip Van Winkle He was not amused To read much of the USA TODAY Don’t Trust That Invoice Price write-up on that meeting in which Bragg was dubbed a peppery contrarian click here To understand how laughable new-car pricing is today check out the tiny percentage differences between the base invoice and retail/sticker prices for each brand: Acura/5-7 Audi/7 BMW/6 Buick/4-5 Cadillac/5 Chevy/5-7 Dodge/3-4 Ford/1-7 Genesis/5-7 GMC/5-7 Honda/3-9 Hyundai/3-7 Infiniti/7 Jeep/2-5 Kia/5-7 Lexus/5-8 Lincoln/4-5 Mazda/3-5 Mercedes/7 Mitsubishi/2-3 Nissan/2-7 Ram/4-9 Subaru/5-7 Toyota/4-9 VW/4-5 Volvo/6 And that’s if you pay the full sticker price! Who does that The guy who thinks Taco Bell is a Mexican phone company Add the fact that dealerships have an overhead expense of 12 to 15 of revenue and you’d have to be brain dead to believe the invoice price is in the same area code as any cost number The auto industry is having a good laugh at how gullible we are It’s even flipping us off now with pricing for the Chrysler Pacific Hybrid minivan: invoice 44895 retail 44995! Yet all the info and advice on those big auto-info websites is based on our swallowing – hook line and sinker – the preposterous notion that for decades automakers have been telling everyone what their dealers pay for their cars If that were true dealers would go ballistic But they don’t and they never did even before the Internet arrived Your responsibility as a person is to constantly update your positions on as many things as possible If you don’t contradict yourself regularly you’re not thinking – Malcolm Gladwell The inside story of the discovery of that game-changing fact is told in our book Letting The Cat Out Of The Bag: How The Auto Industry ‘Redesigned’ The Dealer invoice Price When The Internet Arrived available in paperback and Kindle format at Amazon To read the back cover copy Preface Table of Contents and the first four chapters click here If you’d like a author-signed copy 1495 including postage you can add that to your order for the Fighting Chance information
