Valerie Geller Jane Platt Gary Bryan Lisa Stanley Leah Brandon Rollye James and Rita Pardue New Sound Master at 885/fm July 18 2019 Member-supported Southern California 885/fm has given additional duties to his afternoon drive responsibility Andy Chanley He has been promoted to music director at the public radio Triple A outlet The move marks the latest enhancement to 885’s programming department coming a week after the promotion of former music director Mark “Mookie” Kaczor to program director Andy spent nearly a decade with former Entercom previously Bonneville Classic Rock KSWD 1003/The Sound He was the first jock on the air when the station launched and the final personality on The Sound when it signed off on Thursday November 17 2019 when it was sold to EMF He joined 885 in the spring of 2018 Earlier in his career Chanley worked at the former KACD Channel 1031 and KLYY Y107 “Andy has done it all in this market — mornings middays afternoon drive — and has vast experience in all the rock format genres” said 885/fm general manager Patrick Osburn “We are fortunate to have ‘Mookie’ at the program director post and Andy working closely with him on music They are a real one-plus-one-equals-three kind of complement to each other I’m happy to say we are operating at full strength with great experienced broadcasters in every position “There’s no station in the world like 885/fm” said Chanley “It’s a special blend of music and people — on both sides of the transmitter — that makes radio fun again” Lopez for Access Mario Lopez syndicated evenings locally at KBIG MY/fm is jumping ship from Extra and headed to the competition Mario is now the new host of NBCUniversal’s Access Hollywood Starting in the Fall Lopez will host of both Access Hollywood and its daytime counterpart Access Daily formerly Access Live Additionally Lopez has signed an overall development and producing deal for both scripted and alternative programming with Universal Television and Universal Television Alternative Studio There are conflicting reports as to whether current Access host Natalie Morales is pissed or not at Mario She moved across the country leaving the Today show to take on the Hollywood assignment a couple of years ago This should be an opportunity for Billy Bush ex-KBIG to take-over the Extra slot This will be a new opportunity for Billy who got caught on a bus with you know who talking about you know what Gee Whiz David G Celebrates 30 Years in the Biz July 17 2019 David G Hall has had an illustrious career spearheading the fortunes of KFI KNX KFWB and KABC Today marks his 30th anniversary in the radio business “I can’t believe I’ve been here this long” exclaimed David “The day I started at KFI was July 17 I waited outside of then-general manager Howard Neal’s office to meet him and he was in his office behind a closed-door firing Gary Owens who had been doing the morning show with Al Lohman until that day Gary left the office and introduced himself to me I was star struck I introduced myself as the new news director and he said ‘welcome to Los Angeles I sincerely hope this market is as good to you and your career as it has been to me’ And he meant it If only he could know just how right he ended up being!” Michael Hagerty sent the LA Times story about Hall’s arrival to KFI from Sacramento with the following story hereIn other news: Christine Martindale has been missing from her midday shift at Country KKGO She’s still listed on the stations website and listeners are concerned “Christine has taken time off for personal reasons We hope she will return soon” responded Saul Levine … Was listening to Take a Letter Maria and was surprised to learn about the artist R B Greaves Pat St John revealed that Greaves was a nephew of Sam Cooke Who knew Cooke had a voice like butter and could have been the next generation of Nat King Cole One biographer called him the “inventor of soul music” Sam was killed at 33 …: “Yesterday we noted the front-page stories about Univision and the desire of Haim Sabin to exit his ownership of Spanish-speaking media In my mail was a front-page story from The Hollywood Reporter on Saban being named Philanthropist of the Year with his charitable giveaways totaling 420 million Recipients of his riches took out an estimated 100000 in congratulatory ads in THR Barbra Streisand and Jim Brolin called them “bold philanthropists” in their full-page ad which said in part: “We are proud to honor your generosity compassion and pubic spirit You have been wonderful friends and role models” Media Disruption July 16 2019 At first it seemed like a great investment When Haim Saban I always think Mighty Morphin Power Rangers and his group bought Univision for 137 billion in 2007 we’re now finding they either paid too much made lousy investments had bad timing with the 2008 financial meltdown or media is in worst shape than we think A front-page story in the LA Times details Saban’s immersion into Spanish-language media company Saban is listed as the 232nd richest man in the United States The Meg James story cites that Saban and his partners now are eager to sell the company – even at a discount “Internal problems include years of boardroom bickering and missteps including a disastrous foray into “English-language media as well as rising competition from rival Telemundo and shifting demographics” writes James One might guess they are truly desperate with this negative publicity on selling at any cost removing any potential negotiating advantage Locally in addition to KMEX/tv Univision owns KSCA/fm Radio Estacion KLVE KRCD / KRCV Recuerdo 1039 and KTNQ In other news: Karen Harlow former reporter for KNX left the all-News outlet for XHPRS-San Diego Due to money disputes XHPRS MAX/fm was taken off the air She has just joined music KFMB/fm-San Diego to work weekends … George Johns thinks the Nielsen ratings service is very vulnerable “If I were Eastlan I’d take them on” wrote Johns in his newsletter “Not only are their rating estimates wrong they underestimate morning listening and overestimate the rest of the day but they’re probably cutting corners too now that they’re for sale” … Mason Dixon is to Tampa / St Petersburg what Don Sherwood was to San Francisco and JP McCarthy was to Detroit Dixon’s contract has again been extended with WRBQ his Tampa / St Pete home for decades In the spring of 1995 Mason saved several men who were capsized in Tampa Bay while piloting his cruiser The Radio Waves Mason briefly worked at 93/KHJ in the 1970s … Steve Mitchell former jock at K-100 in the 70s is doing just fine three years after surgery for two stents “Normally they put you on a treadmill for this test to get the heart rate up to 85 of maximum but because of my knees they injected a drug to speed up the heart So I got a workout while laying down” … Nancy Plum has sold out her first printing of her book Do Not Air: Radio Stories and Other Stuff You can order her book now at wwwnancyplumcom … Mike Stark is almost finished building his new studio His first podcast when everything is ready will be with OC radio writer Richard Wagoner talking about radio Interesting item in LAObserved about the chronic homeless problem in LA Read it here Radio Hall of Fame Voting Begins July 15 2019 Here’s your chance!

Amiche former KJLH personality Don asserts he donated a kidney to Stevie Wonder Najee Al ceo of Project Islamic Hope claims it is not true and fired off this rhetorical question: “What kind of sick mind lies and jokes about anyone going through this much less one of our national treasures Mr Stevie Wonder Who does this The facts are Don Amiche lied on his Facebook page about being the kidney donor to Stevie Amiche is nothing but a disgruntled washed-up jock who was fired by KJLH” Amiche posted on his Facebook page: “Just so you know I’m donating a kidney to StevieWonder please pray for both of us that the surgery will be a success in September” Job Opening Jason Shiff has a cool job opening at Mt San Antonio College in Walnut In fact perhaps more than one Jason has taken over the full-time radio professorship from Tammy Trujillo at the community college “Tammy has moved on to work on some of her own projects” emailed Jason “I’m looking for some great Los Angeles Radio people to possibly start teaching at one of the best college radio programs If you know of anyone I can be reached at jshiffmtsacedu” Jason knew by the time he was 12 that radio was his calling He earned his degree in Radio-TV-Film with an emphasis in Media Management from Cal State Northridge but says his real “schooling” came at KEARTH 101 where he started as an intern in the promotions department Jason went on to become the director of music programming for one of the worldwide leaders in commercial music distribution Mixhits Radio While working for Mixhits he became an expert on Selector programming software and worked with some of the biggest companies in the world including McDonalds Disney Foot Locker and Applebees Jason also served as the music director and assistant PD at The Wave 947 KTWV Oda Update Alan Oda along with his son Andrew and four other teammates are settling in preparing to do their volunteer gig in Kumamoto Japan You can follow the team’s journey at http://ayodatumblrcom Three of our teammates have never been to Japan emailed Alan They’re rather impressed by the country and at the quality of the food from the local 7-Eleven stores which actually carry quite decent Japanese grub Nostalgia Sunday – 7 Years Ago Today Surf and Work Has Always Been Up for Bobby Ocean July 14 2012 There was a time when radio was concerned about the total sound of a station or a program which included the sound of the jock jingles commercials imaging contests promotions and production elements You could tune into a Bobby Ocean station and know right away that he was involved and what station you were listening to There was a time when arguably the best production man in Contemporary radio was Bobby Ocean His voice style and presentation created an ambiance and image so that you knew you were listening to a winner I wondered what he was up to and he had such a fun response that I wanted to share it with you But first for those of you who were not around for the Bobby Ocean days The seventh generation Californian started in radio as Ray Farrell on KMBY-Monterey In 1968 Bobby was Johnny Scott on KYNO-Fresno before becoming Bobby Ocean at KGB-San Diego in March 1968 He joined KCBQ-San Diego in 1971 Bobby debuted on KFRC-San Francisco in September 1972 and on May 2 1975 joined KHJ He left Boss Radio in March 1980 to successfully pursue voiceover work in Los Angeles and also joined K-West that same year He left KWST in the spring of 1982 to return to his native San Francisco He joined K101 but was soon heard again on KFRC beginning February 10 1983 and continued as the image voice for close to 20 years “I have both reached retirement age and established three companies 1Imaging for Radio/TV 2Commercials 3Online Marketing and Promotion Bobby has a different definition of retirement For him he reached a stage in his life when he’s not hustling for work or auditioning anymore Once he gave up the quest for money now people search him out for projects His attitude steered him from the Bay Area to an imaging job in UFO country Roswell New Mexico He claims to have been living in the best of both worlds for the past five years “I had gone pretty mystic living like a monk that is if monks live on instant oatmeal” said Bobby “Suddenly I have a roommate and personal assistant and I am eating well It’s the addition of my niece: my older brother’s oldest daughter Debbie who has come to live with me She takes great care of me cooks very well and has a remarkable upbeat attitude She works with me in my business and has sniffed out the perfect part- time job close by so she can buy a few groceries She’s been with me for close to two years now She has her own boyfriend” As for a relationship in his own life he claims to occasionally date a “real cutie” but he’s still single and “I probably ought to remain that way” When you ask Bobby Ocean about his broadcasting career he claims to have had enough “I have had every dj’s dream come true All I wanted was an all-California career and I got way more than I figured and worked with absolutely the best That’s enough Today’s corporate radio is for others I’m sated with being a dj I was one when it was fun” “Now I work as I choose and with whom I choose” Bobby reflected “I learned during the monk years to live pretty lean and translate all my broadcast skills to online marketing and promotion I also learned to say no and to play again My garage is converted into an old school Art Room able to move from inkwork and calligraphy to cartoons Bobby did all the cartoon work at Radio amp Records for years then to wire beads and leather work to personalized apparel I have a big family and can gift them with all of our experiments Most of the family proudly wears a one-of-a-kind Keith Richards T-shirt my sketch embedded as an example which is available nowhere else” Bobby concluded: “There’s too much in this world to cherish rather than miss out completely for a jammed schedule Now that my schedule has been freed up a bit– pleasingly I have more time for my own tasks More time for the many other things all happening at once in this exploding miracle of life and even more time to BS about radio What a splendid adventure THAT once was!” Email Saturday 7132009 Where Will USC Games Go “Curious when Cumulus does sell KABC which I assume they will since they sold the sister WABC does that mean the new owners have to honor the airing of all the USC games or will that contract be null and void” – Patrick Breen KABC Sale Price “So how much do you think KABC would garner if it’s sold anytime soon” – Perry Osteen KABC a No-Show “I realize that the formats of KSUR and KABC are completely different today But I have to wonder if back in the talk days of KGIL when KABC was the king of LA could the folks at KGIL ever imagine a day when their 1260 AM signal from the north San Fernando Valley would beat 790 AM in the ratings – even if by a tenth of a point It’s a new day!” – George Fair 21 Years Ago Feature “I must admit to a chuckle or two in reaction to your ‘Nostalgia Sunday’ of 77 featuring newly arrived program director Drew Hayes Ah those heady days of 1998 barreling down the road toward the technological advances and social uncertainties of the 21st Century it is hard to believe those memories are now actually old enough to go out and buy us a drink Without recalling the exact years and time frames involved it’s all somewhat of a blur to me Hayes eventually left KABC to return to Chicago where he presided over the destruction of WCFS for CBS Eric Braverman hung on for a spell before finally winding up with the Dodgers Some years ago Hayes bounced back into KABC where he remains to this day and where the numbers certainly speak well to his talents and to the applications of such in his efforts” – Greg Hardison Serving Up Oldies “I read some of the comments about the changing format at K-SURF 1260 kHz on the AM dial I am sure a lot of people were against the changes at the station so it seems Saul Levine will leave everything alone for now For me K-SURF and the old KGIL is a ghost to me I lived in Downey and Long Beach when I was younger 1960s1970s and heard about KGIL and its middle of the road format Whenever I would tune in 1260 kHz I could not hear the station very clearly The audio was low and the signal would fade in and out I checked its specifications and found the station was only 5 kilowatts with a directional antenna that favored the San Fernando Valley It got worse at night when other far-away stations would interfere No matter what radio I used home car I could not get good reception at any time I gave up after a while I looked at the current specifications now for K-SURF and see the station runs 20 kilowatts watts during the day and 75 kilowatts at nights I probably could pick up the station in Downey now that the signal is stronger Of course I don’t live there anymore For myself whenever I want to listen to the old MOR format and its music I listen to KWXY out of Palm Springs They are on 923 mHz FM and 1340 kHz AM on-air and on the Internet I listen to them at home over the Internet and when I am in Palm Springs visiting I use the car radio and a portable radio if I am staying with friends There is a website that has the technical specifications of any AM or FM station you might be interested in The website is radio-locatorcom and is free to use I think there is a limit on how many stations you can check before you are asked to pay for a subscription On the web site you can find the transmit power location of a transmitter and signal pattern of any broadcast station Ownership information is also included I find this easier to use than the FCC website” – Dan Ramos Joshua Tree 710/KMPC Personality “I just unearthed the attached pic of my dad and a KMPC personality My father died when I was 9-years-old Do you have any idea who this personality might be” – Jason Insalaco jasoninsalacohotmailcom Healyisms “After seeing the picture of Jim Healy on your site I just had to go back to YouTube and relive some of those amazing shows They were just so hilarious I could listen to those forever compared with anything that counts as radio entertainment these days He was truly a gift to us” – Steve Chang Venice Georgia on My Mind “The Jim Healy bit was so good and glad to see so many responses Then I look at it again and find another slight ‘issue’ Sorry! But when Jim played the ‘Georgia’ clip in reference to Georgia Frontiere it was actually Willie Nelson’s version not Ray Charles’s I promise I will not go back and look for more issues! Or if I do I will keep them to myself But you do a terrific job and obviously you bring back so many memories of radio when it was king for the record I am 60 years of age so I got in on most of the ‘golden days’ and lament the current state of the medium” – Tim James KNAC Reunion “We had our first KNAC PD/MD reunion in 29 years earlier this month Photo is Tom Marshall and Michael Davis PD/MD

assistant pd Erik Braverman took to the phones to ask listeners what they thought of the station and for suggestions on how to change the programming There was no pre-awareness that this impromptu program was going to take place so the pair got whoever was still around after Mr KABC’s program and those who were there for Art Bell In fact many of the 40 calls during this one hour and 40 minute special show asked where Art Bell was and also why not put him on live at 10 pm One caller was looking for a female Art Bell Overall Larry Elder fared best No negative calls Also receiving positive feedback were Joe Crummey Mr KABC 9 pm – midnight even though one caller thought him arrogant and Warren Eckstine weekend pet show The weekend specialty shows were generally liked even though one caller felt the computer show was more of an electronics discussion rather than computers Many of the callers felt that the morning pairing of Ken Minyard and Peter Tilden was not a comfortable pairing The comments about Ronn Owens 9 am – noon and Michael Jackson seemed to be split along demographic lines The younger callers favored Ronn while the older listeners favored Michael there was no tv screen and listener ages were not revealed however that’s the way they sounded Stephanie Miller 7-9 pm comments seemed to be split between those who really love her and those who aren’t fans Dennis Prager seemed to take the biggest hit The complaints seemed to revolve around the continuing good vrs evil debate without any variety to his program A Prager caller wanted the classical music returned to his bumpers One caller wanted more local talk and street reporting like KFI Drew and Erik were very open candid and seemingly had no agenda They took the caller’s comments seriously Drew asked the listeners for patience as he builds the station from the ground up He wanted the KABC listeners to give him a chance to implement his plan to restore the station to its glory years Hats off to Drew for being so vulnerable to hear directly from the listeners Email Saturday 762019 Hollywood on the Up and Up “After reading Bruce Chandler’s story on the 26-story high rise on the corner of Sunset amp Cahuenga I thought that I could add a bit of history to that corner I spent many years in what was at one time the Crocker Bank building working at KWST / MAGIC 106 and later Transtar 6430 Sunset Blvd Before Amoeba Records there was a restaurant I believe it was called City Thai I ate there on a regular basis One day a car drove thru it and that was the end of that establishment Somewhere in my snapshot collection I have a photo of that event But it’s buried in a box somewhere in storage They tore down City Thai and constructed a new project a couple of stories tall with underground parking I walked past the construction daily If my memory serves me correct Amoeba was not the business that was going into that space originally I was told it was Freestyle Photo but for whatever reason Amoeba became the new tenant Bruce talked about the views Some offices had outstanding views I also remember watching parades looking out the window of 6430 Sunset and even recorded videos of the LA Riots from the roof It looked like was a war zone with all the helicopters fires looting gunshots and sirens The view of the burning city was unbeatable It was scary I still have those home videos and recently watched a few of them – crazy memories With all the new construction I am sure I will be in for a surprise the next time that I pass thru town And I do remember well the Jolly Roger Food drinks and radio people were always on tap I’m sure there are plenty of folks who have a ton of moments to remember about the good ‘ol Jolly Roger A story for another day as well as Martoni’s Thanks for the Sunset / Cahuenga update info Bruce” – Rich Hogan Hollywood amp Cahuenga “Responding to Bruce Chandler’s concerns about the new construction planned for the current site of Amoeba Music at Sunset amp Cahuenga I read an item earlier this year about intense development in central Hollywood: In the area bordered by Gower St Hollywood Blvd La Brea Blvd and Santa Monica Blvd there are more than 30 high-rise projects currently under construction or approved for immediate construction Two of these projects are under active construction along Cahuenga between Sunset amp Hollywood just north of Amoeba Not only is the Amoeba building being replaced by a high-rise but the tiny little plot of land across the street currently housing a Jack in the Box will be replaced by a 90 unit HOTEL Picture that: A fast food hutch with drive-thru and 10 parking spaces on a small corner lot replaced by a hotel Construction of this hotel will take place at the same time that the Amoeba building is being razed and replaced Traffic on this corridor is already horrible It’s about to become impassible” – Rick Sietsema Martoni’s “I was reading the Bruce Chandler story about Hollywood and the 6430

over” – Ira Lawson Radio Potpourri “I’ve had a lot of fun reading your posts these past few weeks and thought it time to share some thoughts You’re a pretty experienced radio guy so you’ve been through this I applaud Saul Levine for trying to keep the music alive on K-Surf and understand his troubles We’ve been told that ‘baby boomers’ have a lot of money at their disposal and they would support advertisers to his format Where are they Time buyers are still trying to sift through the 25-54 numbers in placing their buys and finding it hard to justify a format that reaches those 65 Al Ham did it with ‘Music of Your Life’ but that was when AM radio was populated with more mass appeal stations Chime and Suzy Hart suggesting that K-Surf go digital only could create more problems for the beleaguered signal Most people don’t know what a digital radio is and trying to find one is all but impossible Fry’s has a few on the shelf but there’s no way to sample them in the store since AM doesn’t go through the steel structures I bought one a few months ago and the audio quality on AM is marginal at best There are only two stations in our area that broadcast in HD and one of them speaks Spanish AM has turned into a shopping mall that only has one or two viable outlets Have been discussing with friends the shocking price of WABC in New York selling for 12 million Cumulus bought a batch of stations from Citadel in 2011 for 24 billion dollars WABC now goes for a fraction of the price You’ll never get the ‘Swingin’ 7’ back on the air but we’re sure Dan Ingram is rolling over Haven’t finished CorporateFM yet but it brings up part of the problem In 1996 the consolidation intent was explained to me by Randy Michaels then ceo of Jacor which was rolled into Clear Channel/iHeart The major print media was getting 80-90 of the print revenue from a given market Radio when consolidated could perhaps give one company 30-40 of a given market if it were done right Randy also explained that radio automation should be used as a ‘tool’ so jocks didn’t have to juggle carts and CDs and they could focus on their on-air work He also wanted to see voicetracking as a way to get better more experienced talent into smaller markets but they would do it for that specific station At one point I was tracking up to six Clear Channel stations a day in markets from Santa Barbara to Dallas The crash of 2008 wasn’t kind to radio and companies had to trim budgets to satisfy the shareholders Therein lies the issue In 1955 Walt Disney’s vision of a land where people could forget their troubles came to be In 2019 Disneyland Resort continues to be ‘the’ destination for vacationers and Disney continues to invest in its parks Somehow they found a way to spend money to make money and see their stock value increase The adage that you have to spend money to make money still holds true in 2019 and Disney is the model to subscribe to One could say that radio can’t afford it but with increased competition can it afford NOT to Finally that picture of Stan Freberg with Shotgun Tom and Freddie Snakeskin reminds us all of what’s missing from radio these days Stan was the master filling Lake Michigan with whipped cream and a maraschino cherry Here’s a link to a batch of spots he made for radio including the Lake Michigan fill Imagine if radio with more competition than it had in the 60’s when this campaign started MARKETED radio Living in Southern California lets us rub elbows with the masters of our medium Hope we find her or him before it’s too late Thanks for letting me ramble Your articles are always stimulating and LARadio is a first read every day” – Dave Mason Michael Jackson Story “I loved the Michael Jackson story A KRTH listener told me about the time he and his crew were working near the Neverland Ranch on some telephone cable project when all of a sudden Michael showed up where they were taking a break and asked if he could get them some water or if there was anything they’d like to drink The listener went on to say what a nice person and down to earth guy Michael was!” – Bruce Chandler Foxy Anniversary “My wonderful wife Valerie and I celebrated our 66th anniversary yesterday She is the best thing that ever happened to me Years ago I was interviewed by Radio and Records and was asked why I hadn’t expanded and purchased stations in other markets I replied that when I awakened in the morning that my main priority was when I could get home and be with my wife Wow I was really lucky” – Bob Fox MIA Country “My father had a Country swing radio program in the early – mid 1960’s in Los Angeles His show was somewhat popular as I was told growing up he had led the Rose Bowl Parade one year suspended upside down playing the fiddle for the entire route I do not know the radio station where he hosted his show He went by the stage name of Johnny Lee but his name was John or Johnny Rankin He would play live swing music during the broadcast His program was once a week Would you know how or where to find out more” – John Rankin 5596267866 coveprintingattnet Listening for Melinda Lee “It was great to hear Melinda Lee back doing commercials for the Kitchen Store on KNX Wishing her the best” – Bill Mann South Pasadena Sunday Nostalgia scoots back 21 years when programming execs Drew Hayes and Erik Braverman take to the airwaves to figure out how to stop the bleeding at KABC Hollywood Landscape Is on the Up and Up July 3 2019 Bruce Chandler l veteran of K-100 and “The Oldies Channel” on Westwood One sent a note about the action of the LA City Council voting to give the go-ahead for a new 26-story high rise in Hollywood “Unfortunately the victim of this latest project will be Amoeba Records” emailed Bruce The location is at Sunset and Cahuenga which is the same corner CNN has called home for years as well as the old K-100 KIQQ K-West aka Magic 106 and the Transtar Radio Networks just west across Cahuenga from Amoeba Records “I remember and you probably remember too having also worked at KIQQ the great view from the 11th floor of KIQQ looking east down Sunset Blvd You could see the Cinerama Dome half a block down Sunset and on a clear night the lights of Dodger Stadium way in the distance to the right” Bruce said: “This new project starts in a year or so goodbye view and hello 26 stories of concrete staring everyone in our old building right in the face right across the street I don’t know if you’ve been in the area of 6430 Sunset recently but just past the CNN building and down the street south of Sunset there are at least three new projects being built You wouldn’t recognize the old neighborhood” When Cosmic Communications purchased 1003 we had a tough time finding a location for the studio that had line of sight to Coldwater Canyon The transmitter was on the old K-JOI stick When negotiating for the 11th floor space building management suddenly got cold feet for fear that the parabolic dish on the roof would dissuade doctors and lawyers from renting space The irony is that when CNN moved in years later the top of 6430 building now looks like an Erector Set Another long-gone landmark was the Jolly Rogers restaurant that was on the ground floor and home to many drinking sessions “I’m hearing Amoeba Records may be looking for a new space somewhere or maybe if the rents are too high it will also be a fondly remembered relic” Bruce concluded: “Time marches on” In other news: Oldies 1033 in Santa Barbara have reclaimed the KRUZ call letters Concurrently Classic Hip Hop station 1033

Is KABC Next to be Sold July 2 2019 “The sale of legendary New York radio station WABC last week sent shock waves through Cumulus Media Chicago where employees of news/talk WLS 890-AM wondered if their station could be next” wrote Robert Feder in his Chicago media blog WABC boasting a coverage reaching over 100 miles was sold for an eye-widening 125 million Mary Berner Cumulus Media ceo told her staff: “In New York’s case we’ll be exiting a market that has been tough for us and through these deals we will be able to realize significant value for the company – over and above what we could have generated from continued operations And for anyone who is still listening to rumors out there I will say again that there is absolutely no grand plan to exit our big markets” KLOS one of two

participate in disaster relief “It’s a life-altering experience seeing total devastation yet also signs of hope Each year I either have people interested in joining disaster relief work or we receive opportunities from Japan to continue assisting the rebuilding both lives and livelihoods” said Alan “First I never ever expected to be part of volunteer disaster relief work and disaster relief networks yet this seems to be something I consider to be a Divine appointment Second I really don’t think there’s anything exceptional about me not any specific gifts or talents for this sort of work Maybe my most important role is to show anyone can be helpful when others are recovering I just happen to have been given the opportunity these past few years That being said I’ve worked with some incredible people whose dedication amazes me Alan is headed back to Kumamoto Japan still recovering from an earthquake three years ago assisting the Kyushu Christ Disaster Relief Center They are

Hopefully he nixes the less 50’s-add 80’s idea and works on the signal! I’m sorry about Larry Van Nuys losing his KSURF show but Levine was right to stick with his current 50’s-70’s mix He could consider doing a ‘Saturday Night’ show just featuring 60’s-80’s music or a theme show-might set KSURF apart as a ‘good-time’ station Worth a try” Thank you for the great story about Michael Jackson I never heard that one before and it boggles my mind that such an event could end far differently today I love hearing about your different careers-my Uncle Ruben started out working for the studios through Pacific Title and did hundreds of movie title sequences before becoming a courtroom sketch artist for KTTV – Julie T Byers CorporateFM “Thanks for the heads up on CorporateFM which I watched last night with Beth I’m glad they produced this movie It was well done and really showcased the greed and the damage done to so many talented people as well as the death of everyone’s trusted companion – radio I was glad that they exposed the greed of Hicks-Muse and the Dickeys but was very disappointed that they left the Mays family Lousy Lowry Scandal Randall and Snark Mark unscathed While they mentioned Bain Capital Mitt Romney didn’t catch any grief either Shameful but well done” – Mike Butts More Documentary “Amen I’ve been showing CorporateFM to students in my radio classes at Long Beach City College since 2012” – Ken Borgers Lew Dickey’s Performance “Thanks for the heads up on this documentary about the downfall of local radio It was produced four or five years ago but still relevant I had to laugh at watching Lew Dickey testify before congress and spread his bullshit – without big corporations and consolidation local radio would be out of business!

over Russia He also followed the sinking of the Andrea Doria And he covered local elections all night long Eventually Hal ended up at KTLA News” – Saul Levine A Loyal K-SURF Listener Checks In “My wife was born in 1964 loves 50s/60s and says ‘good music never goes out of style’ I’ve always enjoy up-tempo 50s – and especially Rockabilly – with over 3200 45s in my personal collection So we’ve turned on many drivers to LA Oldies Speaking of 1260 having the station go into digital immediately would be a real treat bypassing the analog signal If KSUR was digital only they wouldn’t be the first as 820 WWFD in Fredrick Maryland has been digital AM only for some time And even without more talent with an addition of jingles reverb and adding novelty records K-SURF station would enjoy a more 50’s radio feel Lastly since Monday I notice only KKGO HD1-and-4 are in stereo while Oldies HD2 and Jazz HD3 are in mono Thanks in advance for considering these suggested improvements – Chime-and-Suzy Hart Sherman Oaks Static “I’d like to ask the engineers out there a question about hum / static on my clock radio It is the only radio in my place that experiences it and it only occurs

arena Dunno how many give up after a few podcasts because it is tough to create compelling content for the length of the podcast We asked Valerie Geller what were the challenges in monetizing podcasts “You sign up with a podcast agency” emailed Valerie “They group together several podcasts all carry the ads to reach the 500k specifically targeted group So for example if you work with Omny Studio Midroll or one of those companies they sell the ads and you get a percentage” The world of podcasting is the hot audio topic The rate of new podcast titles being added was approximately 2000 per week Mercifully the rate of podcast entries has slowed now to about 3000 new podcast titles a month not episodes according to Blubrry When does the novelty of doing a podcast fade “Only 18 of podcasts added an episode in the last three months “More podcasts 60 are out of production than in according to Todd Cochran ceo of Blubrry Todd estimates that more than half of the new podcasts in the past 12 months have not produced a fresh episode If you are still contemplating a podcast and want some professional help there is a San Diego group led by Tracy Johnson Media Group that will air check your podcast and provide talent coaches to critique the podcast based on the user’s goals an objective These results are discussed in a one-hour personal coaching session followed by a detailed written strategy review including recommendations and next step advice The No 1 thing air personalities tell me is they just don’t get feedback on a regular basis” said Johnson “Many aren’t getting it at all And programmers tell me they don’t have time to spend with talent like they would like Our new service fills those gaps It’s for personalities who want direct honest positive feedback programmers who

30000 Feet June 27 2019 The singer Michael Jackson died 10 years ago this week On the day of his death Twitter went down and other social media outlets either crashed sputtered or had severe technical difficulties AOL declared: “Today was a seminal moment in Internet history We’ve never seen anything like it in terms of scope or depth” Jackson’s passing also put Harvey Levin’s TMZ on the map for good They called Michael’s death Not the LA Times Not AP But TMZ Buzzfeed declared “a seismic shift in the news business” TMZ was legitimatized as a news gathering source and decimator of news about the entertainment cultural business We had our own story I was curious how the story of my encounter with Michael Jackson being a peacemaker at 30000 held up When I Googled my story came up as 2 on the first page If you would like to relive it or read it for the first time: Peacemaker at 30000 feet Michael Jackson Story by Don Barrett When I was laid off fired from MGM/UA in 1994 I opened my own movie marketing consultancy I decided to concentrate on animated films Over the years I was fortunate enough to work on wonderful animated projects like Steven Spielberg’s An American Tail among many others Before long my business was booming I was making more money than I ever did with Columbia Universal or most recently MGM/UA And more importantly I didn’t have that awful commute I did for years plus no committee diluting some wonderful ideas that talented individuals conjured up I was exposed to the international marketplace my movie career with the studios was confined to domestic and found myself at the Cannes Film Festival numerous times exposing and selling some of the animated projects I was representing Yes Cannes is beautiful sexy sensual alluring intoxicating exciting and downright the bomb to use an old expression One year on my way to Cannes I had to travel from LAX to Berlin and then make a connecting flight to Cannes In first class there were five rows with two seats on each side of the plane I was sitting in the aisle seat in row three on the left In front of me was a single gentleman The front two seats were occupied but they were already seated when I got comfortable for the 12-hour flight The man in front of me asked for a cocktail prior to take-off Once airborne he was the recipient of a steady stream of drinks About a half-hour into our flight the man on the aisle in the front seat stood and moved to the center of the cabin His seatmate got up and stood behind him Another man who was in the front seat on the aisle on the right side of the plane got up and joined the two standing in the cabin and got behind the second man In almost lock step they walked to the toilet The cabin lights were dim for those who wanted to sleep on the long flight As they walked by me it was clear that the center man in this abbreviated parade was Michael Jackson The flight progressed but the man in front of me never stopped with requesting more booze Eventually the steward cut him off I could only guess the perfect storm that was brewing Frequently raising his voice in the quiet cabin it was easy to hear his entitlement demands after paying so much for a first-class ticket and that they had no right to stop serving him The steward was firm The boozy man kept ringing the call-button and the steward reluctantly would come to his seat only to be greeted by insults for refusing his right to service After a third call-button ring the boozy man apparently was waiting in wait for the steward The steward repeated what he had told the man about no more service The boozy man leapt like a gazelle onto the steward and they both crashed to the floor They wrestled You could hear another steward frantically summoning the pilot who quickly came down to see what the commotion was all about With no fanfare no lights no audience a concerned Michael Jackson got up and separated the two sparring men As soon as they realized that the King of Pop was acting as peacemaker they sheepishly stopped like school kids busted by the principal or even their own mom The captain or co-captain arrived on the scene to see that peace had been restored with no bloodshed Michael asked his bodyguard friend to sit in the boozy man’s seat and invited the inebriated man to sit with him I couldn’t hear a word that was spoken by Michael nor his new seatmate but they were talking away for 20 minutes Michael signaled to his bodyguard to help the boozy man back to his seat Within minutes he had passed out and slept for the duration of the flight Michael and his bodyguard were both back together to complete the remaining hours in relative silence It was a rare glimpse into Michael Jackson Who knew he would be a peacemaker at 30000 feet on what could have erupted into an ugly confrontation New Boss at 885/fm June 26 2019 KCSN looked for a new general manager and found him – already at KCSN California State University Northridge has named Patrick Osburn

years ago at the Kansas City Film Festival it’s now available for streaming on Amazon Prime Investigative reporter Josh Korman does a great job explaining how the radio business made a major shift from local ownership to corporate consolidation in the documentary CorporateFM The opening scenes in the documentary explains the power and strength of local radio “The power of radio is that our neighbors are listening to it at the same time and together we create a critical mass of support at the local level” The Telecommunications Act of 1996 is the bugaboo in the story In simple terms the
