Dizzy Music “Thanks for sharing all the kudo letters about Diane Thompson It’s nice to see others realize the impact she’s had on our lives through her broadcast work I have a bone to pick with ‘Natural’ Neil Ross though I don’t think music has to be relevant to be enjoyed that’s why there’s a whole genre of pop music that’s called bubble gum music That’s what Sugar Sugar Yummy Yummy Yummy Indian Lake Dizzy Hurray for Hazel etc is It makes you smile Not everything in the sixties was Crosby Stills Nash and Young War or Dylan If that is what Sirius’s subscribers like why knock it Someone needs a nap” – Julie Byers Diane News Disappointing “I was so disappointed to read that Diane Thompson is retiring In 1989 when she was a young field reporter for KNX she interviewed me when I was the President of the Los Angeles Master Chorale Auxiliary and a VP on the LAMC Chorale Board We were at the time presenting the first Los Angeles Master Chorale High School Choir Festival It was a Festival where we brought eight high school choirs together for a series of rehearsals under the direction of John Currie the Music Director and Conductor at the time We finished with a free concert for the public at a high school in the South Bay Diane gave us some well-needed publicity which indirectly led to the Festival becoming an annual tradition of the LAMC Grant Gershon the current LAMC Music Director and Conductor is getting ready for the 30th rendition which now encompasses over 30 high school choirs and is presented at the Walt Disney Concert Hall Thank you Diane Your career on-air has filled me with many hours of information delivered in a cool caring fashion Your time with Jim Thornton was especially memorable to me” – Bill Mann South Pasadena Will Miss Diane Thompson “The Diane Thompson story was news to me as they say because I’d not heard about her retirement even though KNX is the only AM in my car with a programmed button I loved her yarn about her son at age 4 barfing on her at the Rose Parade Glad to have you back in my email inbox” – Warren Cereghino Satellite Subscription “Upon reading Dave Kunz’s comments on satellite radio the one and only reason I subscribe is due to the terrain in the Bay Area which isn’t conducive to terrestrial signals Keep up the great work” – Ira Lawson Super Signal Sucker “Back in 2004 2005 and 2006 I exchanged numerous emails with Mike Callaghan He gave me only the brief details of the parts used to make the ‘KPPC Super-Signal-Sucker Antenna’ Mike said it was made out of a broomstick and coat hangers Listeners who tried to hear KPPC/fm better wrote to Mike He answered their requests and sent out hundreds of copies of the plans It allowed listeners to build the antenna which was designed to bring in a better signal until the new and stronger transmitter was built on Flint Peak I never thought to ask Mike if he had any copies of the original antenna plans so I could re-print the design for my article I can’t think of anybody right now who might have an archived copy And now that Mike is no longer with us I can’t ask him Perhaps a LARP can help” – Jim Hilliker Place To Be “The Martoni piece Tuesday Worth the price of admission!

Our first date was fun It was a Temptations/Four Tops concert at Cincinnati’s outdoor venue Riverbend It was a fun show-we had a great time We agreed to go out again On our third date we went water skiing with her sister and brother-in-law I had never been on water skis In the midst of trying I lost my trunks! But she just laughed it off At her sister’s wedding several people came up and asked how things were between us and warned me that I should hang on to her Appropriate I don’t know but I asked her that night to marry me We’ll be celebrating 34 years this September Thought you’d like to know that story As you might be able to tell I love telling it” – Dave Mason No LARadio Column February 13-15 Bruce

Alan Oda’s story on the remarkable career of Diane Thompson at KNX I was honored by her as a ‘KNX Helpful Honda Hero of the Week’ recently for my work with citizen scientists monitoring the marine environment All of the 2018 ‘Heroes’ gathered last week at the Universal Sheraton Starview Ballroom on the 21st floor with an astounding view and live music for a gourmet luncheon celebration Everyone lined up for photos with Diane The announcement of her retirement was greeted with gasps followed by a standing ovation It was a great moment recognizing how Diane has made the LA area a better place with her reporting and her concern for people from all walks of life She and husband Chris Taylor certainly deserve a happy next phase but her calm intelligent voice will be missed on the air – Karen Martin Diane Thompson a Princess “Great feature on Diane Thompson She’s one of my favorite people It’s been such a pleasure to work with her on and off for the last 15 years Always such a professional and really wonderful to talk to! I’m going to miss seeing her every day in the KNX newsroom I wish her much luck in her future endeavors!” – Katie Clark Entercom Director of Traffic Operations Thompson’s KHJ Colleague “I enjoyed working with Diane Thompson for a couple of years at KHJ I was always a little worried about her though Diane has always been thin and I felt compelled to drag her down the street to the famous old Nickodell restaurant every now and then for a good lunch She always objected but did eat well on those occasions Diane I am very proud of you and delighted for you and Chris Taylor You’ve had a wonderful career and I’m glad I was a tiny part of it!” – Larry / Jack Boxer Great Field Reporter “Happy to see Diane Thompson retire I’ll always remember when she was a field reporter always covering the hot stories shootings and other mayhem while her counter-part Jon Goodman an ex-Marine got the quiet assignments like City Hall” – Tom Bernstein Missing Diane “What a great run she had and as well as being a great broadcaster she will be missed in LA radio” – Bob Koontz Podcasting Boom “The current clamor about podcasting and predictions that radio will not survive five years is not consistent with reality and history Radio needs to keep reinventing itself as it has in the past for example the introduction of Top Forty radio But radio has a long-term future In 1954 I was helping a tower rigger in the field with the erection of a 200-foot AM tower in an area just South of Redlands for my first radio station KCAL-Redlands A farmer in a pick-up approached and asked what we were doing When I told him he looked puzzled and said ‘I thought tv put radio out of business’ And that was l954 There will be reports of very successful outcomes for some podcasting efforts but this does not mean that it has to be at the expense of radio In fact this could enhance radio since it places an emphasis on audio vs video TV viewing may incur a loss of viewing time as a consequence of time spent with Podcasts Incidentally several years ago Norm Pattiz launched a Podcasting enterprise Lately there has been a lack of news as to how successful this has been Norm is one of the persons who could make podcasting successful unless he was ahead of its time” – Saul Levine Sirius Standard “Interesting question from Ann Beebe in trying to figure out that particular song When I was a kid growing up in Northridge there was a great independent record shop called Tempo Records The owner wisely staffed it with music majors from nearby CSUN and customers always marveled at how skilled the clerks were at identifying a song Nine times out of ten they’d nail it merely by hearing the customer do the old ‘It goes like this…‘la la la la’ or ‘da da da de de da da’’ I guess places like that are mostly gone now Also wanted to comment on your Hear Ache last week about Toyota making SiriusXM radio standard in all their models Satellite radio as standard equipment has been steadily creeping its way down the price scale in recent years Among all vehicle brands it’s hard to find a passenger car in the 30-40000 range that doesn’t have it Of course the trick for SXM is to get people to subscribe Generally there’s a free trial of anywhere from 90 days to one-year included at the time of vehicle purchase In my non-scientific surveying over the years I’ve found that about half of car owners then step up to pay for the service with the other half preferring to stay with AM fm and whatever streaming music service their phone will play in the car via Bluetooth” – Dave Kunz Automotive Reporter

This article highlights what I see as the problem with Sirius’ Sixties on Six channel There was some great music during that era but every time I tune-in I’m driven away by songs that while popular then have no relevance now ie The John Denvers Tony Orlando and Dawns etc The young audience seems to have no interest in the ‘Sugar Sugars’ either So why play them John Sebastian’s new WOW format

You beat the big boys at their own game Good for you’” As one of station’s renowned field reporters Diane covered the LA riots the North Hollywood bank shootout the Simpson/Goldman murders and the Cerritos midair collision between a commercial jetliner and a private plane Diane was also first on the scene when the First Interstate Bank high rise in Downtown Los Angeles caught fire “I broke the story nationally of the murder of actor Phil Hartman” said Diane She offered a live eyewitness account when the KABC/tv news van exploded seriously injuring reporter Adrianne Alpert Her coverage earned her the prestigious Bill Stout Memorial Award for Outstanding Spot News from the Associated Press Television and Radio Association APTRA Surprisingly the transition to her current role as a drive time news anchor was not as challenging as Diane’s first job out in the field “It wasn’t too difficult to move into the anchor chair at KNX because I’d been doing it for six years at several music stations What was more intimidating for me was handling street reporting duties I hadn’t done a lot of that so I just learned on-the-job I loved being out in the field covering news I enjoyed the camaraderie and made many good friends” Diane was featured in a front page story in the Calendar section of the Los Angeles Times about her work with the KNX award-winning “Assignment ’86” documentary program “The Question of Drug Testing” Times reported Christopher Tricarico quoted Diane when she described the significant work required to create the long-form piece: “You know I’ve told my boyfriend ‘you are not going to see me this month because I’m doing this documentary’” The article also noted Diane had to use her weekends to prepare for the documentary given the daily demands of her full-time field reporting responsibilities In 1988 Diane’s reporting helped recover two little boys who were kidnapped by their babysitter in Santa Monica She received accolades from both her colleagues and the community with the story being featured on local tv news Other events include the 1984 Summer Olympics opening ceremonies of the Reagan Library and the official visits of Pope John Paul II and South African President Nelson Mandela She also covered 26 Academy Award ceremonies and 14 Rose Parades “when my four-year-old son barfed on me during a live report he still might have to join the Union It was so gross” 1 Thompson covering Loma Prieta Earthquake- 880 freeway collapse in Oakland 2 Golden Mikes in 1989 -not too many women at KNX 3 On elephant Diane has other tales of the bizarre “The strangest one happened during one of the presidential elections when I was invited by the Cedars Sinai Medical Center to interview a heart transplant patient who was voting from his hospital bed I put on a gown and mask… interviewed him from his special isolation room put the story together and went home…only to find out he died that day!” The Los Angeles Times obituary noted the man “died shortly after being interviewed by Diane Thompson of KNX Newsradio” In spite of the claims of her newsroom colleagues “I didn’t kill him…he was alive when I left” she said “Diane has always been a true pro when it comes to her job Distractions don’t seem to affect her She has the rare ability to compartmentalize and focus on the task at hand” said Tom Haule former KNX operations director and news anchor “I have worked with her both in the field and in-studio on the air and she has always been at the top of her game” Haule also cited Diane’s tenacity “I know that she has had her share of challenges It’s never easy balancing motherhood and career Over the years Diane has shown a remarkable level of strength and focus to both personal and professional lives She projects a solid front and manages a convincing personable performance through it all” Haule concluded “I wish her the best in her new and hopefully less demanding and complicated life” 1 Thompson covering the Oscars 2 Getting to a story as fast she can 3 Diane with husband Chris Taylor and colleague Maggie McKay Diane took over the “KNX Hero of the Week” feature from the retiring Jack Salvatore in 2007 “I’ve interviewed close to 500 people over a dozen years” said Diane The feature highlights individuals who make Southern California a better community thorough their acts of service At the recent “Helpful Honda Heroes” reception honoring those recognized over the past year Mayor Eric Garcetti offered his personal tribute: Diane has made a lasting impact on the Los Angeles landscape Maya Angelou said people will forget what you did or what you said but people will never forget how you made them feel And by that measure Diane Thompson is unforgettable…I’m so grateful to have heard your voice So I encourage you to raise your glass to an angel in a city full of angels and I want to say congratulations to you Diane on your retirement Ken Charles KNX program director said “I am happy for Diane as she begins this new phase in her life After 34 years with KNX I know our team our listeners and this industry will miss her enthusiasm grace and talent In the 12 years Diane has anchored and produced the KNX Heroes feature she has told the amazing stories of over 500 people Her commitment to telling these special stories has made a real difference in our community For that work and the many things she has done over her remarkable career she will be sincerely missed” Diane said she’ll miss her newsroom colleagues “we’ve been through a lot together” “I want to thank Carol Breshears KFWB Lee Marshall KHJ and Bob Sims KNX for hiring me and giving me a chance to be a broadcast journalist And I would be remiss if I didn’t mention Fred Roggin He changed the trajectory of my life and I wouldn’t be working in LA if not for him” said Diane She offers this final thought: “This sounds corny but I couldn’t have done any of this without support from my husband Chris Taylor He’s been my biggest cheerleader and the person I can always count on for really good advice about the business of radio” You can wish Diane well at: taylorvoiceearthlinknet Story written by Alan Oda LARadio

Broadcasters Association reported on the event for LARadio “We had to move to the Airtel Plaza in Van Nuys due to the earlier fire at the Sportsmen’s Lodge The room was smaller and filled to the rafters I haven’t asked Michael Brockman what the count was but it was a full house I was joined on the dais with Rick Dees Laboe Shotgun Tom Kelly Paul Rodriguez Romeo morning guy from KDAY and Wink Martindale who stepped in at the last minute because the other guy previously scheduled got a gig in Texas at the last minute and sent a video Wink told the joke you published about the guy with Super Bowl tickets The event got off to a late start for a number of reasons We then had a group of young singers offer three songs Tom LaBonge former Los Angeles City Council member made a surprise appearance and did a speech By the time we got around to the tributes Art leaned over and said ‘okay this has been very nice but my driver is waiting and I have to go home now’ I explained that he had to stay for the tributes and assured him that his driver was still here at one of the tables with his people He was a little leery Then he said okay but I have to go right home after I can’t stay and sign autographs He was visibly tired so I promised that if he’d stay and take one more group photo after receiving the plaque I would personally escort him to his limo and keep the people away He said okay and was a good sport as things escalated into a frenzy of photos and additional presentations—Shotgun got him a newer version of his Walk of Fame star then Tom gave him a 62nd Street sign I took Art’s elbow and shoulder and began leading him off the dais to the car We were waylaid by about half a dozen autograph seekers three right by the limo When the last one asked for a personal inscription to two different people Art said no and started to get into the limo His entourage helped take away the autograph seekers and block the rest so Art could get inside He said thank you before I closed the door so he could go home You could tell the crowd was full of people who loved and / or admired him I believe he knew that and all in all had a good time” In other news: Larry Woodside sent along a funnie that anyone can be great dj “Just load your mouth with marbles say ‘sister Sue sells shells by the sea shore’ And each time you say it take a marble out of your mouth And when you lose all your marbles you’re a dj” Thanks Larry … Jeff Federman got the troops riled up Thursday afternoon at an Entercom team meeting when the USC Marching Band came marching in Also special appearance by Sam Smith Nice energy … Congratulations to Steve Fredericks Liddicks on his happy 40 years of marriage … Super Bowl ad department clock was ticking down to kick-off yesterday NBC didn’t sell out Super Bowl LII until just 48 hours or so before kickoff … Congratulations to Nora and Jeff Gonzer on 16 years of marriage Email Saturday 222019 OBG “Someone started posting comments about failed Oldies stations on Facebook I wondered what sparked this issue to come up here today I don’t have to think about it for long considering the resurgence of the missing Oldies that KRTH dropped picked up by Saul Levine for his most recent format change to Oldies 1260 AM And it’s very topical on this particular day because of our honoring Oldies King Art Laboe at the Pacific Pioneer Broadcasters luncheon Will there be a renamed Pacific Pioneer Broadcasters I’ve heard the front runner was ‘Hollywood Entertainment Media Professionals HEMP’ Somehow that works” – Don Elliot Streaming “Maybe the innovators will break thru on streaming radio especially with 5G coming Within five years I think new streaming start-ups not corporate streams or conventional radio station streams but new streaming start-ups will knock out fm stations These new streams will do to fm what fm did to AM in the late 70’s/early 80’s because the streamers will innovate something that the corporate-run fm’s are no longer able to do” – Bob MacKay Potpourri “Interesting ‘Video in Cars’ post I once had a 1999 BMW 750 with a tv built into the dash It was programmed to blank out the screen when the car was moving but the Internet showed me how to defeat that It wasn’t unusual to see the back seat of an SUV playing videos for the kids on the freeways So now they’re trying to give drivers something else to be distracted by I’m not one for legislation but highway safety should be a consideration here Driving in SoCal isn’t a picnic but you could watch the entire Star Wars series on the 405 in rush hour Sorry I could not make it to the Scott St James celebration I’ve spent a few enjoyable hours at La Petite with Kevin Gershan and his crew Scott was once hired to be morning man at WAXC one of the stations I worked at in Rochester but at the last minute he went to St Louis instead Either move would have been great Jimmy Steal to Chicago Jimmy was our pd at WKRQ in Cincinnati for a few years He did an awesome job at keeping us on top Von Freeman was our promotions guru and we were unstoppable I know LA will miss Jimmy like they have Von And I’m sure you followed the sad story that was ‘MaxFM’ in San Diego/Tijuana/Tecate I was there from 2008–13 and 2014–16 when my position was eliminated Back in 2009 we had close to a 5 share as ‘The Walrus’ but new investors came in and offered their opinions and changed the direction of the station proof that when opinion overtakes common sense the results aren’t good The recent dispute with the station owner has put some very good people on the beach My exit from ‘Max’ offered me the opportunity to join Entercom in San Diego and the past 18 months have been amazing Anyway thanks for keeping us updated on what’s happening in ‘the business’ We’re glad to be hearing from you on a daily basis” – Dave Mason St James and the Rams “My father had major surgery end of last week I’m happy to say the operation went extremely well and his prognosis is very good but caring for my dad prevented me from attending the memorial for Scott St James I wanted very much to attend Since I couldn’t make it however it was nice to read your account of the event Short commentary: Scott was a terrific guy I first met him when I was hired in 1990 at KMPC to be part of the ‘Good Morgan Team’ with Robert W Scott was immensely talented always upbeat and fun to be around I’m guessing he and RWM are up in heaven right about now talking about the Rams being in the Super Bowl!” – Richard Turnage Armstrong Celebrates “I hope all is well in paradise Hard to imagine that your daytime high temp was 120 degrees different than some places My wife Sara and I are celebrating our 50th anniversary on February 1st What a fantastic journey!” – Dave Armstrong CCO Big Ideas Double Image “WKHI in Newark Maryland has dropped its ‘Jack-FM’ identity and is now Classic Hits ‘949 KHI’ I wonder what radio station the WKHI boss pun intended is

Golden Mike award for best newscast by a station with no real news department Rather than accepting an award I would expect that a news / talk station in the nation’s 2 market would be embarrassed that its news department is so small that it only qualified in the ‘B’ division What’s happened to the once mighty KABC is truly a shame I just saw Friday’s column where you reported on the development of video for in-car viewing What great news he said sarcastically!

Email Saturday 2162019 Dizzy Music “Thanks for sharing all the kudo letters about Diane Thompson It’s nice to see others realize the impact she’s had on our lives through her broadcast work I have a bone to pick with ‘Natural’ Neil Ross though I don’t think music has to be relevant to be enjoyed that’s why there’s a whole genre of pop music that’s called bubble gum music That’s what Sugar Sugar Yummy Yummy Yummy Indian Lake Dizzy Hurray for Hazel etc is It makes you smile Not everything in the sixties was Crosby Stills Nash and Young War or Dylan If that is what Sirius’s subscribers like why knock it Someone needs a nap” – Julie Byers Diane News Disappointing “I was so disappointed to read that Diane Thompson is retiring In 1989 when she was a young field reporter for KNX she interviewed me when I was the President of the Los Angeles Master Chorale Auxiliary and a VP on the LAMC Chorale Board We were at the time presenting the first Los Angeles Master Chorale High School Choir Festival It was a Festival where we brought eight high school choirs together for a series of rehearsals under the direction of John Currie the Music Director and Conductor at the time We finished with a free concert for the public at a high school in the South Bay Diane gave us some well-needed publicity which indirectly led to the Festival becoming an annual tradition of the LAMC Grant Gershon the current LAMC Music Director and Conductor is getting ready for the 30th rendition which now encompasses over 30 high school choirs and is presented at the Walt Disney Concert Hall Thank you Diane Your career on-air has filled me with many hours of information delivered in a cool caring fashion Your time with Jim Thornton was especially memorable to me” – Bill Mann South Pasadena Will Miss Diane Thompson “The Diane Thompson story was news to me as they say because I’d not heard about her retirement even though KNX is the only AM in my car with a programmed button I loved her yarn about her son at age 4 barfing on her at the Rose Parade Glad to have you back in my email inbox” – Warren Cereghino Satellite Subscription “Upon reading Dave Kunz’s comments on satellite radio the one and only reason I subscribe is due to the terrain in the Bay Area which isn’t conducive to terrestrial signals Keep up the great work” – Ira Lawson Super Signal Sucker “Back in 2004 2005 and 2006 I exchanged numerous emails with Mike Callaghan He gave me only the brief details of the parts used to make the ‘KPPC Super-Signal-Sucker Antenna’ Mike said it was made out of a broomstick and coat hangers Listeners who tried to hear KPPC/fm better wrote to Mike He answered their requests and sent out hundreds of copies of the plans It allowed listeners to build the antenna which was designed to bring in a better signal until the new and stronger transmitter was built on Flint Peak I never thought to ask Mike if he had any copies of the original antenna plans so I could re-print the design for my article I can’t think of anybody right now who might have an archived copy And now that Mike is no longer with us I can’t ask him Perhaps a LARP can help” – Jim Hilliker Place To Be “The Martoni piece Tuesday Worth the price of admission! Memories indeed” – Wink Martindale Williams on Martoni’s “Bruce Williams Listened often Very sharp guy and broadcaster Sadly missed on-the-air today Your fun memory-lane evening in Arroyo Grande takes Terri and I back to a recent evening of John Sebastian Spoonful and Maria Muldaur with the recent Grammy’s nom Best Traditional Blues Album I played Midnight at the Oasis a ton in 1974 at 93/KHJ The night we saw them their decades on stage came thru beautifully along with great storied memories between songs Speaking of memories production guru Don Elliot I pinch-a you cheek Aw Sal we miss you After the 1994 Earthquake – from which Martoni’s never fully recovered – the Chef Gino and his brother Santino host had a restaurant in Sherman Oaks on Ventura They also had one in the New Orleans Square Woodland Hill and finally a very small place in Chatsworth Always taking with them the recipe for the WORLD’S BEST Fettuccine Alfredo Last we saw Santino at his Chatsworth place he showed the beginnings of Alzheimer’s late 1990s-2000s It crushed us and with his devious smile and raised eyebrows he still would not give me the Alfredo recipe when I asked At Martoni’s in the 1980s my then biz partner Dave and I haunted the restaurant so often we were honored with a Dave amp Dave-plaque’d booth They took down Betty amp Tom Brenneman’s plaque for ours Betty was music coordinator for ALL RKO Radio Tom had a Radio Services Co The booth was right across from the Bar Lee’s last booth before turning right to the dining room If it was occupied when Dave and I arrived those folks would be respectfully moved elsewhere I’ve got so many stories about Martoni’s smile As Bill Gavin would close ‘be well’” – Dave Sebastian Williams Laboe Honored “Just want to thank you for your coverage of Art Laboe’s recent honors from the Pacific Pioneers Broadcasters I wouldn’t have known about it otherwise Cheers!” – C Cousteau Valentine’s Story “If you ever re-do your Valentine’s Day Love stories I have one In 1983 I went into Christ Hospital in Cincinnati for gallbladder surgery Back then it was a fairly major surgery that required an 8-10 inch incision it was shortly after that they had come up with the less invasive surgery I spent nearly a week in the hospital The first two days after surgery I had a tube in my stomach and a catheter Finally that was removed and I was just hanging around recuperating in the hospital I’d get visits from co-workers and friends which was very nice but a young lady I had been dating decided not to show up I was bummed for a while until a young nurse came into the room The recovery room wasn’t her usual department but they were short-handed and she volunteered We spent the next 18 hours smiling laughing and she was trading insults with my radio buddies better than most I found out that her dad’s cousin was the morning show host on our station which immediately put her on a small pedestal Later that night she asked if I needed something It had been almost five days since I got to wash my hair so I told her I didn’t have any shampoo She not only found shampoo she offered to do the washing That was kinda cool I thought She was gentle kind and when it was done she said not to worry about the soap she used because it was what they used to clean equipment including enema utensils At the end of the night she said she was going to come back the next day and steal one of the flower arrangements I had been given by my friends I was hoping that was the case The next morning a doctor came in and said I was ready to go home if I wanted to I said ‘I think I’ll stay just one more day’ hoping that the visit this pretty nurse had threatened would happen I stayed I waited Waited some more and kept waiting She never materialized My parents had come up from Florida to make sure I was okay and drove me from the hospital to my house and on the way home I had them stop at a florist On the way out of the hospital I looked at my chart for the nurse’s name and sent an arrangement to her at the hospital I included a business card with my home phone and message ‘you forgot your flowers I forgot to ask a question’ That was the extent of what I thought was our relationship Two weeks went by and nothing I’d go home and check my answering machine Nothing Then after two weeks there was a message from her I called back and we did small talk I learned a little more about nurses and she learned more about radio program directors Then there was a pause I remember it being a very long pause Then she said ‘you said you had a question-what is it’ I asked if she ever dated a former patient She said ‘no’ ‘But call me in 2 weeks’ I thought it strange but didn’t mind waiting I called back and asked her again if she would date an ex-patient She said yes! Our first date was fun It was a Temptations/Four Tops concert at Cincinnati’s outdoor venue Riverbend It was a fun show-we had a great time We agreed to go out again On our third date we went water skiing with her sister and brother-in-law I had never been on water skis In the midst of trying I lost my trunks! But she just laughed it off At her sister’s wedding several people came up and asked how things were between us and warned me that I should hang on to her Appropriate I don’t know but I asked her that night to marry me We’ll be celebrating 34 years this September Thought you’d like to know that story As you might be able to tell I love telling it” – Dave Mason No LARadio Column February 13-15 Bruce

three decades Williams created a loyal evening listenership with his informative and entertaining program He seemed to have a logical and common sense approach to all problems Born on February 18 1932 the Hall of Famer didn’t begin his radio career until he was in his forties His eclectic background provided enough experience resulting in a compelling Talk show Bruce seemed to know a little bit

Richard Fun night in Arroyo Grande … As we approach another lackluster year for movies to be considered the Best Picture for an Academy Award Oscar in 1980 Xanadu was so bad it launched the Razzies These awards were given for “failure in cinematic achievements” however the soundtrack peaked at 4 on the Billboard chart with five singles that made the Top 20 including Olivia Newton-John’s 1 Magic

truly evident when Smokey Robinson was heard at KCMG/KHHT Hot 923 His sweet soft-spoken voice was heard nightly for about a year-and-a-half A recent magazine article saluted “Motown at 60 Smokey was involved in hundreds if not thousands of Top 40 hits He sang many of those hits with the Miracles Smokey also became a Motown vice president producer and talent scout He is always associated with class and taste Smokey is in both the Rock Hall of Fame and the Songwriters Hall of Fame and has been honored by the Kennedy Center He’s still active at 78 Smokey’s playing four shows at the Wynn resort in Las Vegas When he’s not singing he’s doing yoga eating vegan or playing golf Smokey was best friends with Aretha Franklin In the AARP article he said: “I’m cool ‘cause she’s cool” After years of success the Motown empire and family became dysfunctional Michael Jackson said at one stage that even as a child he knew the Motown studio system was too confining for his singular vision

Alan Oda’s story on the remarkable career of Diane Thompson at KNX I was honored by her as a ‘KNX Helpful Honda Hero of the Week’ recently for my work with citizen scientists monitoring the marine environment All of the 2018 ‘Heroes’ gathered last week at the Universal Sheraton Starview Ballroom on the 21st floor with an astounding view and live music for a gourmet luncheon celebration Everyone lined up for photos with Diane The announcement of her retirement was greeted with gasps followed by a standing ovation It was a great moment recognizing how Diane has made the LA area a better place with her reporting and her concern for people from all walks of life She and husband Chris Taylor certainly deserve a happy next phase but her calm intelligent voice will be missed on the air – Karen Martin Diane Thompson a Princess “Great feature on Diane Thompson She’s one of my favorite people It’s been such a pleasure to work with her on and off for the last 15 years Always such a professional and really wonderful to talk to! I’m going to miss seeing her every day in the KNX newsroom I wish her much luck in her future endeavors!” – Katie Clark Entercom Director of Traffic Operations Thompson’s KHJ Colleague “I enjoyed working with Diane Thompson for a couple of years at KHJ I was always a little worried about her though Diane has always been thin and I felt compelled to drag her down the street to the famous old Nickodell restaurant every now and then for a good lunch She always objected but did eat well on those occasions Diane I am very proud of you and delighted for you and Chris Taylor You’ve had a wonderful career and I’m glad I was a tiny part of it!” – Larry / Jack Boxer Great Field Reporter “Happy to see Diane Thompson retire I’ll always remember when she was a field reporter always covering the hot stories shootings and other mayhem while her counter-part Jon Goodman an ex-Marine got the quiet assignments like City Hall” – Tom Bernstein Missing Diane “What a great run she had and as well as being a great broadcaster she will be missed in LA radio” – Bob Koontz Podcasting Boom “The current clamor about podcasting and predictions that radio will not survive five years is not consistent with reality and history Radio needs to keep reinventing itself as it has in the past for example the introduction of Top Forty radio But radio has a long-term future In 1954 I was helping a tower rigger in the field with the erection of a 200-foot AM tower in an area just South of Redlands for my first radio station KCAL-Redlands A farmer in a pick-up approached and asked what we were doing When I told him he looked puzzled and said ‘I thought tv put radio out of business’ And that was l954 There will be reports of very successful outcomes for some podcasting efforts but this does not mean that it has to be at the expense of radio In fact this could enhance radio since it places an emphasis on audio vs video TV viewing may incur a loss of viewing time as a consequence of time spent with Podcasts Incidentally several years ago Norm Pattiz launched a Podcasting enterprise Lately there has been a lack of news as to how successful this has been Norm is one of the persons who could make podcasting successful unless he was ahead of its time” – Saul Levine Sirius Standard “Interesting question from Ann Beebe in trying to figure out that particular song When I was a kid growing up in Northridge there was a great independent record shop called Tempo Records The owner wisely staffed it with music majors from nearby CSUN and customers always marveled at how skilled the clerks were at identifying a song Nine times out of ten they’d nail it merely by hearing the customer do the old ‘It goes like this…‘la la la la’ or ‘da da da de de da da’’ I guess places like that are mostly gone now Also wanted to comment on your Hear Ache last week about Toyota making SiriusXM radio standard in all their models Satellite radio as standard equipment has been steadily creeping its way down the price scale in recent years Among all vehicle brands it’s hard to find a passenger car in the 30-40000 range that doesn’t have it Of course the trick for SXM is to get people to subscribe Generally there’s a free trial of anywhere from 90 days to one-year included at the time of vehicle purchase In my non-scientific surveying over the years I’ve found that about half of car owners then step up to pay for the service with the other half preferring to stay with AM fm and whatever streaming music service their phone will play in the car via Bluetooth” – Dave Kunz Automotive Reporter KABC-TV Co-Host “The Car Show” Enjoyed Laboe Piece “Just a note to say hello I know all is well with you I’m doing great Still doing Sunday talk show on KMJQ-Houston and practicing immigration law Keep the LARP coming Enjoyed the piece on Art Laboe His show followed mine when I worked 9 pm – 12 midnight on XPRS” – Dr J Tommy J Thomas Smith JD PhD NCC MAC CCMHC Remembering George Klein “Legendary Memphis dj George Klein died February 5 at 83 He was in hospice care and had been suffering from dementia Klein met Elvis Presley in 8th grade at Humes High School in North Memphis and they remained best friends until Presley’s death in 1977 Klein was a groomsman at Presley’s 1967 wedding to Priscilla Beaulieu and was a pallbearer at Presley’s funeral Klein wrote two books Elvis Presley: The Family Album 2007 and Elvis My Best Man: Radio Days Rock ’N’ Roll Nights amp My Lifelong Friendship with Elvis Presley 2011 For 34 years he hosted the syndicated George Klein’s Original Elvis Hour and for ten years hosted a weekly program on SiriusXM’s Elvis Radio channel broadcast live from Graceland Klein began in radio while in high school broadcasting football games on WHHM He then moved to WHBQ as part of the broadcast team of the Memphis Chicks Double-A baseball team He also became a ‘gopher’ for Dewey Phillips who in 1954 was the first dj to play an Elvis Presley record That’s All Right Klein soon got an airshift and became the second dj to play a Presley record Klein later worked at KOSE in Osceola Arkansas then moved to afternoons at KWAM He next worked at WMC but left in 1957 to join Elvis Presley on tour After Elvis got drafted in 1958 Klein returned to radio working first at WHEY and then returning to WHBQ He also spent 12 years as host of Talent Party a teen music/dance show on WHBQ-Channel 13 In 1984 Klein moved to WLVS an fm station owned by Sun Records founder Sam Phillips – no relation to Dewey Phillips – and launched the Elvis Hour program It and his SiriusXM program continued until 2018 when health problems forced him to retire” – Steve Thompson Memphis Blues “Many thanks for using our pix today I know you’ll enjoy BOTH these stories in the Tennessee Radio Hall of Fame monthly newsletter The first on Brent Stoker son of former Jordonaires singer Gordon Stoker And Dewey Phillips first to play an Elvis record on his ‘Red Hot amp Blue’ show WHBQ Memphis in July ’54 That’s Alright Mama Thanks again I read your outstanding column first thing every morning even before the newspaper” – Wink Martindale Country Cousins “The boys from Southern

one of the nicest guys in the biz I’m pulling for him” – Craig Powers A Real OLDies Station “Maybe an LA station need to read this Sounds like a format that might attract young and old is possible This article highlights what I see as the problem with Sirius’ Sixties on Six channel There was some great music during that era but every time I tune-in I’m driven away by songs that while popular then have no relevance now ie The John Denvers Tony Orlando and Dawns etc The young audience seems to have no interest in the ‘Sugar Sugars’ either So why play them John Sebastian’s new WOW format supposedly only targets 55-72 but if he does it right he might find some surprise demos tuning in too” – Neil Ross author of Vocal Recall Delilah Tells It Like It Is February 8 2019 Every weeknight Delilah – heard locally on KFSH – liberally offers stories from her own life on her nationwide radio program In a recent AARP magazine profile Delilah Rene talked about the healing power of music “Songs are full of wisdom I lost my 18-year-old son to suicide in 2017 I think his prescribed medication made him delusional Then somebody introduced me to Willie Nelson’s lyric ‘It’s not something you get over but it’s something you get through’ So true” Delilah is 58 years old and has been on the air since 1974 She reaches some 8 million listeners per week more than any other female call-in

has formed a new production company – Kimmelot – with Brent Montgomery’s Wheelhouse Entertainment created Pawn Stars Kimmelot is a “creative lab” to produce unscripted scripted and digital content with the late-night host … The Dennis Miller Option podcast is now airing exclusively on Westwood One Podcast Network … Music sleuths listen up! Ann Beebe is trying to find a song from 1964 – 1972 “Title may be ‘Big Windy City’ She’s not completely sure of the lyrics but it started out something like this: Big windy city You’re hopeless you’re not very pretty Your days are too cold your nights are too long… Know the song Digital Online publishers are having a rough start to the New Year Digital publishers and platforms hit a new low as Variety and the LA Times noted the collapse Last week more than 1000 employees were laid off across three companies – Verizon Gannett and BuzzFeed Variety cited the layoffs were a reflection of the broken business models “that serve as wobbly foundations for many content companies Adding to their woes thee publishers have platform partners whose businesses are almost as troubled” Variety professed that digital-media firms can’t operate any longer with casual disregard for rational responsible business practices “But look on the bright side: It’s hard to see how things could get worse” Hear Ache 272019 February 7 2019 Howard Stern’s wife Beth was featured in US magazine as she promoted her hosting chores with the Kitten Bowl a “football” game that features kitten up for adoption playing on the green Her efforts led to a whopping 25000 felines finding their forever homes … Sad to see the passing of James Frawley He directed The Monkees tv show and The Muppet Movie He was 82 … RJ Curtis had a gnarly cycling crash recently “At mile 25 of my 100-mile ride a crazy freakish crash occurred suddenly taking down the rider in front of me I had nowhere to go flipping right over him and directly into the pavement at 20 mph taking a direct hit on my right shoulder Hardest impact I’ve ever experienced Sadly I have prior experience hitting the deck I knew I was gonna hit badly and upon impact knew it was serious Two others riders then piled on top of me unable to stop Good times!” Curtis has a busted clavicle and a pretty severely separated AC joint “I’m sore everywhere” … Was listening to SiriusXM and heard a one-hit wonder Just One Look by Doris Troy It was a hit when I started out in radio and was told by management to avoid playing two women back to back What Such antiquated thinking Troy died from emphysema at her home in Las Vegas in 2004 She was 67 … Don Bastida checked in from the Bay Area He’s now with Entercom at KCBS Radio San Francisco “I manage the Traffic Operation here I miss Southern California but it’s nice to be close to my parents” emailed Don … If you have Alexa at home it is tough to deny that the device is pretty addictive iHeartMedia ceo Bob Pittman says the consumer uses it like their clock radio their bathroom radio and kitchen radio because it is next to impossible to buy an old-fashioned radio “Radio is doing very well in the car very well in the office and we do well at home where people have the radios” said Pittman “But over time the number of radio’s in the home has declined and it’s hard to go find an old-fashioned radio to buy Alexa turned out to be the new radio” KNX Vet Set to Retire February 6 2019 Nowadays the moniker “radio journalist” is not often used yet Diane Thompson has resplendently personified this description for four decades She recently announced her retirement from the afternoon drive anchor chair at all-News KNX A graduate of the University of Texas Diane’s first news job was at KVUE/tv in Austin After working in the Phoenix market she arrived in Los Angeles to work at KFWB “I worked there one week then got a better gig at KHJ” where she spent five years at the legendary station including a year as the news director But Diane is best known for her 34 years at KNX “Diane started a week after me September 1985 and outlasted my by 13 years” recalled Ed Pyle former KNX news director “A trooper for sure no complaining ever no matter what the assignment A first string anchor/reporter the station and the listeners will miss” “It took three tries before finally getting hired at KNX” said Diane “I think what finally convinced Bob Sims news director and George Nicholaw general manager to take a chance on me was when I won the UPI award at KHJ for Best Radio Newscast in California in 1984 I received a letter from Bob Sims which read: ‘Congratulations on the big UPI win! You beat the big boys at their own game Good for you’” As one of station’s renowned field reporters Diane covered the LA riots the North Hollywood bank shootout the Simpson/Goldman murders and the Cerritos midair collision between a commercial jetliner and a private plane Diane was also first on the scene when the First Interstate Bank high rise in Downtown Los Angeles caught fire “I broke the story nationally of the murder of actor Phil Hartman” said Diane She offered a live eyewitness account when the KABC/tv news van exploded seriously injuring reporter Adrianne Alpert Her coverage earned her the prestigious Bill Stout Memorial Award for Outstanding Spot News from the Associated Press Television and Radio Association APTRA Surprisingly the transition to her current role as a drive time news anchor was not as challenging as Diane’s first job out in the field “It wasn’t too difficult to move into the anchor chair at KNX because I’d been doing it for six years at several music stations What was more intimidating for me was handling street reporting duties I hadn’t done a lot of that so I just learned on-the-job I loved being out in the field covering news I enjoyed the camaraderie and made many good friends” Diane was featured in a front page story in the Calendar section of the Los Angeles Times about her work with the KNX award-winning “Assignment ’86” documentary program “The Question of Drug Testing” Times reported Christopher Tricarico quoted Diane when she described the significant work required to create the long-form piece: “You know I’ve told my boyfriend ‘you are not going to see me this month because I’m doing this documentary’” The article also noted Diane had to use her weekends to prepare for the documentary given the daily demands of her full-time field reporting responsibilities In 1988 Diane’s reporting helped recover two little boys who were kidnapped by their babysitter in Santa Monica She received accolades from both her colleagues and the community with the story being featured on local tv news Other events include the 1984 Summer Olympics opening ceremonies of the Reagan Library and the official visits of Pope John Paul II and South African President Nelson Mandela She also covered 26 Academy Award ceremonies and 14 Rose Parades “when my four-year-old son barfed on me during a live report he still might have to join the Union It was so gross” 1 Thompson covering Loma Prieta Earthquake- 880 freeway collapse in Oakland 2 Golden Mikes in 1989 -not too many women at KNX 3 On elephant Diane has other tales of the bizarre “The strangest one happened during one of the presidential elections when I was invited by the Cedars Sinai Medical Center to interview a heart transplant patient who was voting from his hospital bed I put on a gown and mask… interviewed him from his special isolation room put the story together and went home…only to find out he died that day!” The Los Angeles Times obituary noted the man “died shortly after being interviewed by Diane Thompson of KNX Newsradio” In spite of the claims of her newsroom colleagues “I didn’t kill him…he was alive when I left” she said “Diane has always been a true pro when it comes to her job Distractions don’t seem to affect her She has the rare ability to compartmentalize and focus on the task at hand” said Tom Haule former KNX operations director and news anchor “I have worked with her both in the field and in-studio on the air and she has always been at the top of her game” Haule also cited Diane’s tenacity “I know that she has had her share of challenges It’s never easy balancing motherhood and career Over the years Diane has shown a remarkable level of strength and focus to both personal and professional lives She projects a solid front and manages a convincing personable performance through it all” Haule concluded “I wish her the best in her new and hopefully less demanding and complicated life” 1 Thompson covering the Oscars 2 Getting to a story as fast she can 3 Diane with husband Chris Taylor and colleague Maggie McKay Diane took over the “KNX Hero of the Week” feature from the retiring Jack Salvatore in 2007 “I’ve interviewed close to 500 people over a dozen years” said Diane The feature highlights individuals who make Southern California a better community thorough their acts of service At the recent “Helpful Honda Heroes” reception honoring those recognized over the past year Mayor Eric Garcetti offered his personal tribute: Diane has made a lasting impact on the Los Angeles landscape Maya Angelou said people will forget what you did or what you said but people will never forget how you made them feel And by that measure Diane Thompson is unforgettable…I’m so grateful to have heard your voice So I encourage you to raise your glass to an angel in a city full of angels and I want to say congratulations to you Diane on your retirement Ken Charles KNX program director said “I am happy for Diane as she begins this new phase in her life After 34 years with KNX I know our team our listeners and this industry will miss her enthusiasm grace and talent In the 12 years Diane has anchored and produced the KNX Heroes feature she has told the amazing stories of over 500 people Her commitment to telling these special stories has made a real difference in our community For that work and the many things she has done over her remarkable career she will be sincerely missed” Diane said she’ll miss her newsroom colleagues “we’ve been through a lot together” “I want to thank Carol Breshears KFWB Lee Marshall KHJ and Bob Sims KNX for hiring me and giving me a chance to be a broadcast journalist And I would be remiss if I didn’t mention Fred Roggin He changed the trajectory of my life and I wouldn’t be working in LA if not for him” said Diane She offers this final thought: “This sounds corny but I couldn’t have done any of this without support from my husband Chris Taylor He’s been my biggest cheerleader and the person I can always count on for really good advice about the business of radio” You can wish Diane well at: taylorvoiceearthlinknet Story written by Alan Oda LARadio senior correspondent Wendy Williams’ TV Talk Show Postponed Indefinitely February 5 2019 Wendy Williams former KDAY personality is once again featured in an entertainment magazine This time US magazine devotes four pages to Wendy Her return to her syndicated afternoon Talk show has been “postponed indefinitely” Her reps said that Wendy “is now suffering new complications from her Graves’ disease – symptoms can include bulging eyes weakness irritability and shakiness” She said she was going to go after this latest setback “head-on” In 2017 she fainted on-air after overheating in a Halloween costume an incident she deemed “scary” Having never missed a show in the show’s 10-year run she canceled three tapings due to illness before extending that hiatus to three weeks In December she raised new concerns when she appeared dazed and incoherent during an interview Her fans are supporting her on social media and want her back safely and healthy Art Laboe Honored at Pacific Pioneer Broadcasters Luncheon February 4 2019 Art Laboe was the star of the show on Friday as the Pacific Pioneer Broadcasters saluted the 93-year-old broadcaster and radio owner at their luncheon Rick Dees offered the best line: “How rare it is to have a radio performer’s age and body temperature be the same” Mary Beth Garber worked with Art at KRLA The former president of the Southern California Broadcasters Association reported on the event for LARadio “We had to move to the Airtel Plaza in Van Nuys due to the earlier fire at the Sportsmen’s Lodge The room was smaller and filled to the rafters I haven’t asked Michael Brockman what the count was but it was a full house I was joined on the dais with Rick Dees Laboe Shotgun Tom Kelly Paul Rodriguez Romeo morning guy from KDAY and Wink Martindale who stepped in at the last minute because the other guy previously scheduled got a gig in Texas at the last minute and sent a video Wink told the joke you published about the guy with Super Bowl tickets The event got off to a late start for a number of reasons We then had a group of young singers offer three songs Tom LaBonge former Los Angeles City Council member made a surprise appearance and did a speech By the time we got around to the tributes Art leaned over and said ‘okay this has been very nice but my driver is waiting and I have to go home now’ I explained that he had to stay for the tributes and assured him that his driver was still here at one of the tables with his people He was a little leery Then he said okay but I have to go right home after I can’t stay and sign autographs He was visibly tired so I promised that if he’d stay and take one more group photo after receiving the plaque I would personally escort him to his limo and keep the people away He said okay and was a good sport as things escalated into a frenzy of photos and additional presentations—Shotgun got him a newer version of his Walk of Fame star then Tom gave him a 62nd Street sign I took Art’s elbow and shoulder and began leading him off the dais to the car We were waylaid by about half a dozen autograph seekers three right by the limo When the last one asked for a personal inscription to two different people Art said no and started to get into the limo His entourage helped take away the autograph seekers and block the rest so Art could get inside He said thank you before I closed the door so he could go home You could tell the crowd was full of people who loved and / or admired him I believe he knew that and all in all had a good time” In other news: Larry Woodside sent along a funnie that anyone can be great dj “Just load your mouth with marbles say ‘sister Sue sells shells by the sea shore’ And each time you say it take a marble out of your mouth And

failed Oldies stations on Facebook I wondered what sparked this issue to come up here today I don’t have to think about it for long considering the resurgence of the missing Oldies that KRTH dropped picked up by Saul Levine for his most recent format change to Oldies 1260 AM And it’s very topical on this particular day because of our honoring Oldies King Art Laboe at the Pacific Pioneer Broadcasters luncheon Will there be a renamed Pacific Pioneer Broadcasters I’ve heard the front runner was ‘Hollywood Entertainment Media Professionals HEMP’ Somehow that works” – Don Elliot Streaming “Maybe the innovators will break thru on streaming radio especially with 5G coming Within five years I think new streaming start-ups not corporate streams or conventional radio station streams but new streaming start-ups will knock out fm stations These new streams will do to fm what fm did to AM in the late 70’s/early 80’s because the streamers will innovate something that the corporate-run fm’s are no longer able to do” – Bob MacKay Potpourri “Interesting ‘Video in Cars’ post I once had a 1999 BMW 750 with a tv built into the dash It was programmed to blank out the screen when the car was moving but the Internet showed me how to defeat that It wasn’t unusual to see the back seat of an SUV playing videos for the kids on the freeways So now they’re trying to give drivers something else to be distracted by I’m not one for legislation but highway safety should be a consideration here Driving in SoCal isn’t a picnic but you could watch the entire Star Wars series on the 405 in rush hour Sorry I could not make it to the Scott St James celebration I’ve spent a few enjoyable hours at La Petite with Kevin Gershan and his crew Scott was once hired to be morning man at WAXC one of the stations I worked at in Rochester but at the last minute he went to St Louis instead Either move would have been great Jimmy Steal to Chicago Jimmy was our pd at WKRQ in Cincinnati for a few years He did an awesome job at keeping us on top Von Freeman was our promotions guru and we were unstoppable I know LA will miss Jimmy like they have Von And I’m sure you followed the sad story that was ‘MaxFM’ in San Diego/Tijuana/Tecate I was there from 2008–13 and 2014–16 when my position was eliminated Back in 2009 we had close to a 5 share as ‘The Walrus’ but new investors came in and offered their opinions and changed the direction of the station proof that when opinion overtakes common sense the results aren’t good The recent dispute with the station owner has put some very good people on the beach My exit from ‘Max’ offered me the opportunity to join Entercom in San Diego and the past 18 months have been amazing Anyway thanks for keeping us updated on what’s happening in ‘the business’ We’re glad to be hearing from you on a daily basis” – Dave Mason St James and the Rams “My father had major surgery end of last week I’m happy to say the operation went extremely well and his prognosis is very good but caring for my dad prevented me from attending the memorial for Scott St James I wanted very much to attend Since I couldn’t make it however it was nice to read your account of the event Short commentary: Scott was a terrific guy I first met him when I was hired in 1990 at KMPC to be part of the ‘Good Morgan Team’ with Robert W Scott was immensely talented always upbeat and fun to be around I’m guessing he and RWM are up in heaven right about now talking about the Rams being in the Super Bowl!” – Richard Turnage Armstrong Celebrates “I hope all is well in
