ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRST-Z/W Ashley Paige Doug Dunlap Howard Lapides Kristen Cruz and Christen A Song For the Credibility Gap May 29 2018 Len Chandler celebrated his 83rd birthday over the weekend He was 1110/KRLA’s resident songwriter-musician who was part of the station’s legendary “Credibility Gap” in the 1960s He wrote fifteen new songs each week that parodied the news of the day then sang these songs within the newscasts Two days after he arrived at KRLA Robert Kennedy was killed Len rushed to the station to sing one of his first original songs: “Let us grieve for all men who are felled by / The violence that sweeps through the land like a death motorcade” Lew Irwin creator of the Credibility Gap said that Len was the most talented singer/musician he has ever known “He composed and performed more than a thousand songs in a little more than a year some funny some poignant all of them an insightful commentary on the events of that turbulent and momentous year It was perhaps the most exciting period of my life and Len provided the musical soundtrack for it” In other news: Sad to report that record company legend Russ Regan passed away over the weekend … R Dub has re-signed with XHTZ amp XHRM-San Diego as program director and afternoon drive in a new multi-year deal His new title is Supreme Commander where he will continue to oversee the programming strategy and branding of the company’s CHR AC and Urban products … Garrison West of the newly merged 885 had successful hip replacement surgery He should be back behind the microphone by June 5th … Loren Blumberg celebrated 35 years of marriage this week Howard Lapides is headed for Boston later this week where he will be inducted into the WERS-FM Hall of Fame “WERS is the legendary radio station from my Alma Mater Emerson College” emailed Howard who manages writer/producers talk show hosts authors comedians and so many LARP including Dr Drew “WERS is now consistently rated in the top 5 college radio stations in the country It is a flame thrower in New England During my junior and senior years there I was program director I will be honored to be inducted by Fred Faust former Chief of Staff for the late Senator Paul Tsongas I will be joining the likes of Vin DiBona Executive Producer of America’s Funniest Home Videos and radio’s Gary Berkowitz I was a classmate of Jay Leno” K-Earth Top 300 of

Years Ago KFWB Wants to Outsource Key Jobs May 27 2000 KFWB news people and writers have been without a union contract for over a year Last Saturday members of AFTRA gathered to vote on an offer CBS has termed its final offer and the members of the bargaining unit overwhelmingly rejected the company offer according to AFTRA rep Gerry Daley KFWB has offered a retroactive 3 pay raise if an agreement could be made by May 31 Apparently there is a deal breaker in KFWB’s offer The current contract whose terms remain in force under federal labor law while the parties are negotiating requires that all stories originating in Los Angeles Orange and Ventura counties must be done by AFTRAns working under the KFWB agreement The station would like the right to outsource those local stories to outside contractors examples: Shadow and Metro Networks CNN and AP Radio The view of the bargaining committee was that the outsourcing would lead to loss of AFTRA jobs over the life of the contract What’s the use of a raise if we’re not going to be here asked one concerned KFWB reporter who voted against the contract offer A contract fight back committee has been formed to respond to the offer We believe management gave us a May 31 deadline for ratification partly in order to scare the editors and news production assistants who are voting on AFTRA representation in an NLRB election at the station on June 2 We think the ploy backfired and is likely to solidify the resolve of the news production assistants and editors since it shows that when you have a union management can’t take things away from you without a fight concluded Gerry In a related union matter there was some speculation that morning anchor Kathleen Sullivan who abruptly left the air with no explanation on April 27 might surface and attend the Union meeting She was a no-show however she sent her ballot by proxy My kids had an easier time finding Waldo One insider said Kathleen was in San Francisco last week and told friends that she was on sick leave Another observer speculated that the union strife between AFTRA and KFWB was causing stress for Kathleen Her contract with the station is up this summer and some speculate that she may never return to her morning duties Dave Cooke pd at KFWB who worked with Kathleen at KABC and was responsible for bringing her to the all-News station has been particularly mum on the subject The no comment from management would lead one to believe that the legal eagles are involved It was bound to happen and George Fair sent a copy of this milk carton The silence from Kathleen and KFWB makes the situation seem worse than it may be LARadiocom offers this space for both parties to discuss the situation KFWB has not explained to their listeners why Kathleen has not been on in the morning One observer believes that the Kathleen Sullivan Watch at the top of this page is hurtful to Kathleen The Watch and milk carton are presented in the spirit of fun Doesn’t anyone have a sense of humor anymore She’s a public figure who apparently has an issue with management – or maybe she doesn’t – who knows The silence is deafening Get Me to the Church On Time May 23 2018 My little girl no young lady is getting married this weekend First marriage for any of my three kids And unlike the new British princess’s father I get the honor of walking my princess down the aisle Alexandra has been the apple of my eye for almost 30 years Many of you were first introduced to her 14 years ago when a confluence of circumstances led me to ask my readers to help with her extreme dental issue Over 500 LARadio readers deluged me with offers of references suggestions and recommendations I was truly overwhelmed Beginning with the aid of then-KABC general manager John Davison the potential tragedy worked out perfect She’s always been a strong-willed individual Very determined She applied to four colleges USC UCLA Cal Berkeley and UCSB and was accepted by all four With a full scholarship to Santa Barbara off she went to Goleta I’d like to think the proximity of the beach and ocean was a strong consideration We always liked a little sand between our toes Between her junior and senior years she was looking for an internship Kevin Gershan who has been a longtime friend and supporter of LARadio offered her an internship at Entertainment Tonight … in New York Perfect for a communications major Another LARP to the rescue Where does a single 18-year-old live in New York for the summer We got her an “alcove” smaller than a studio apartment near Madison Square Garden Easy subway or mile walk to the Paramount building It was a great summer for her On her last day in New York she was mugged by a woman in a white robe Police arrived right away and apprehended this crazy lady but my daughter didn’t want to press charges She told the police that she was headed back to California the next day and this event kind of rounded out her summer experience in New York Alexandra graduated from college in 35 years She stayed until June so she could graduate with her class and travel with 30 of her classmates for a 5-week tour Europe which she paid for from her earnings managing a restaurant near campus Getting back from Europe she came to the conclusion that she would not be able to live in Santa Barbara There were few opportunities there and the entry level jobs just didn’t pay enough to live in that beautiful city Her next step was a giant one again thanks to another LARP Alexandra reluctantly let me put a notice in LARadio about her search for a job She was overwhelmed with offers and suggestions It was K-EARTH’s Lara Scott who introduced her to an opportunity to join a tv production company in the South Bay She has been there ever since I’m a proud papa She met Simon a young man from New Zealand They begin their journey together this weekend I couldn’t be happier with her choice of soul mate It will be a joyous occasion My older son will be flying out from Naples My younger son the one who just graduated from college will be in the wedding party I’m a blessed man filled with much gratitude I coulda missed it all I almost did Many LARP Nominated

710/KMPC Mark was working the evening shift playing music and I worked the overnight show As a 21 year old kid working for Gene Autry I was immediately taken in by the charm of that guy who was working on the shift before mine We would laugh a lot mainly at the expense of whatever song was being played at the time But that was a tip off to me into the mind of the man I would always start by referring to as The Greatness Of I had so much fun I found myself often showing up an hour before my shift to see what witty things Mark had come up with since yesterday Mark possessed not only a laugh that no one in this room will ever forget but also that fabulous smile I was telling my wife the other day that Mark’s most amazing quality to me was that he was never in a bad mood and NEVER had a cross word to say about anyoneEver! Our time together at KMPC was relatively short about six months or so before Mark moved on to his next thrilling radio adventure And to those of us in the biz we all know that sometimes six months is all the time you get in one place Fast forward to the year 2000 I was now working as operations manager for Mount Wilson FM Broadcasters and the decision to put jazz on AM 1260 had been made Program director Lawrence Tanter informed me who the new morning man would beMark Morris I was thrilled I hadn’t seen Mark in years and we picked right up where we left off Good friends close ties and wonderful camaraderie It might have been eight years since we had seen each other but it seemed like only yesterday After the jazz format ended Mark stayed on doing production and voice work for the adult standards station the Oldies station and the return to Standards that followed And I will always cherish the 5 glorious days when we ran a stunt format known as The Shuffle where Mark produced some of the most clever production bits ever in LA radio history Bill Alexander who did afternoons on Oldies 1260 and 540 had the pleasure of having Mark work with him as his sidekick traffic reporter Bill would often come up with a funny line after traffic and Mark’s laughter would start The smiles on both of these guys was contagious! Bill also commented to me that when Mark and I would eat lunch in the station kitchen the laughter was non-stop He said I never heard two people laugh over lunch every day the way you guys did And boy was he right After Mark moved to the Bay Area I visited him for my 40th birthday in 2010 We caught a couple of ballgames had a few drinks and in general had a great time Its hard to believe that I won’t be hearing that deep belly laugh againor seeing that famous smile anymore But I think the solace that all of us can take is in the words of of all people Dr Seuss Don’t cry because it over smile because it happened As Sinatra once said For Parting Is Not Goodbye We’ll Be Together Again I love you my friend – Mike Johnson written for the program commemorating Mark’s life Purely Personal May 21 2018 It was a thrilling weekend in the Barrett household Nothing to do with the royal wedding My youngest son graduated from Cal State Channel Islands with a BA degree in business After getting an AA degree at Grossmont College in San Diego he took a decade off to “find himself” If he asked I could have easily told him where he was For me it has been a decade of discovering the world of millennial thinking and living Two years ago he saw his friends getting promotions at work buying homes getting married and having babies He decided it was time to finish his schooling We found this school

of a telephone survey that I had just completed showing KMEN as the overwhelming market leader Watson even asked me inside the KMEN control room and put me on his popular afternoon show ‘live’ to read the results Everything was going well until he turned to me and said ‘Ted go ahead and tell us all about this poll that you’ve taken’ Being a youngster I had no idea what he meant by the term poll So for a moment there I thought he was accusing me of stealing a pole from the KMEN parking lot Seriously I was so naive But that day opened the door to a long relationship at KMEN my very first radio home Bill also gave me one of his rare ‘Bill Watson Spike Awards’ given out as a token of thanks for a special achievement As the legend goes Watson spent some time in the railroad industry and had a

Supreme Court voted 6 – 3 to strike down a 1992 federal law which largely prohibited most states from allowing wagering on sporting events The ruling now makes it legal for individual states to decide whether or not to allow sports gambling Nevada is no longer the only state that can attract bettors But the question is whether California is ready to cash in “The Supreme Court ruling is simply common sense There are already multiple ways to bet on games online” said KLAC’s Fred Roggin “By allowing states to regulate it it also allows states to profit including California” KSPN midday host John Ireland believes sports betting is already pervasive “Think of it this way: Most people bet Now that it’s legal they’ll soon be able to bet legally any time” said Ireland “It has a chance to create millions for all parties involved” Ireland believes the ruling will have profound impact on the business of sports “This sports betting decision has the potential to change the sports we watch forever Mark Cuban the owner of the Dallas Mavericks said today that the value of professional sports franchises will essentially double” “I think NBA Commissioner Adam Silver has been really smart with this He predicted it might happen he’s staying ahead of it and he has his league poised to be a partner in whatever happens I think most other leagues will follow suit” said Ireland Most of the “cord-cutting” dropping cable / satellite television skews largely toward younger viewers who appear to be indifferent or at least less enthusiastic about following sports By offering the opportunity to bet on local teams both professional and college it can spark new interest By contrast KNX sports anchor Randy Kerdoon thinks sports wagering will start as a novelty to younger fans “If they are sports fans and would be betting anyway I’d say they would be more involved but those who aren’t the betting type might try it but overall the interest will fade” Further Kerdoon said there will be new places to bet yet traditional venues will persist “I think it will be big for the Indian Casinos not sure if we’ll see a Vegas like facility in Commerce or any other location And there is only one Las Vegas” There is also the possibility of wagering taking all sorts of creative turns “I did have this vision of someone going to a Dodger game and getting their peanuts Dodger dog and a drink along with laying down a prop bet in the 7th inning Will Take Me Out to the Ball Game be over or under time wise” asked Kerdoon Bill Watson Major Player at Drake/Chenault Dies at 88 May 16 2018 Bill Watson who achieved major success in the world of radio broadcasting has died He was 88 Watson passed away in a San Diego hospital Tuesday evening May 15 His death occurred as a result of pneumonia and emphysema related health issues Watson was raised in the San Fernando Valley After his discharge from the US Air Force in the mid 1950’s Watson attended the Don Martin School of Broadcasting in Hollywood with help from the GI Bill Shortly thereafter he began his professional radio career in the Sacramento area At that time rock ‘n roll was exploding into American Pop culture Bill enjoyed almost immediate success as a disc jockey and hosted a local tv show for teens The show was modeled after Dick Clark’s American Bandstand Eventually the super self-confident Watson had a falling out with the radio station’s management He quit and headed South to Los Angeles in search of a disc jockey job there Watson hoped to land a position at the dominant Top 40 radio station KFWB Unfortunately there were no openings at the station at that time While in LA he visited a friend who was employed at KDAY It was in the hallway there that Watson met a young hyper-active radio executive by the name of Ron Jacobs Jacobs invited Watson to lunch at a Hollywood restaurant which was frequented by record promoters and out-of-work disc jockeys Ron Jacobs had previously enjoyed major success as a disc jockey and program director at Honolulu radio station KPOI The parent company of KPOI had recently purchased two radio stations on the mainland One in San Bernardino and the other in Fresno Jacobs was looking for talented disc jockeys to staff the two stations Photo: Watson The Real Don Steele Bill Drake As Watson tells the story Jacobs was talking a mile a minute and trying to convince Bill to join the staff at the San Bernardino station KMEN KMEN was situated in a cow pasture there and was not generating any ratings there were no listeners Before the lunch was over Jacobs had convinced Watson to accept a position as afternoon drive disc jockey And for a little extra money he would serve as the program director too Turns out that Watson was a natural leader and excellent program director Within six months KMEN went from Last to First in the Inland Empire radio ratings At the peak of Watson’s tenure KMEN generated 70 shares which meant that 70 of the people listening to the radio were tuned into KMEN 1290 Watson was instrumental in bringing the Rolling Stones to San Bernardino’s Swing Auditorium for their first performance on American soil He very skillfully established the perfect pitch for the on-air presentation at KMEN and rode the wave of the Surf sound and the British Invasion And he established himself and his fellow disc jockeys as celebrities in the regionAfter 4 years at KMEN Watson left and became a programming consultant for other radio stations Within a short time Bill Watson teamed up with the legendary radio programmer Bill Drake Drake and his partner Gene Chenault had been given the task of turning around the radio stations owned by RKO General Those stations included 93 KHJ in Los Angeles KFRC in San Francisco WRKO in Boston and WOR/fm in New York City Other stations under their direction included KGB in San Diego CKLW in Detroit/Windsor Ontario and KYNO in Fresno Together Watson and Drake worked their programming magic on these radio stations creating the Boss Radio Format Within a short time all of the stations enjoyed top ratings too Later Watson was instrumental in producing the national version of the The History of Rock and Roll The History of Country Music and several other syndicated radio specials Towards the end of his broadcast career Watson was program director at K-100 FM and KMPC 710 He guided KMPC to the number 4 position in the Los Angeles ratings in a market where 86 stations could be heard on the dial It was the last music formatted AM station in town to reach the Top 10 in listener ratings

Street Mr Rock N’ Roll Serves Up Dinner and Stories May 16 2018 When Brian Beirne entertained us for almost 30 years at K-EARTH you always knew he would tell us great stories about the pioneers of rock ‘n roll Even though Brian’s time with the former Oldies station came to end in late 2004 there will be a rare opportunity to again hear the stories of Brian’s life as a rock ‘n roll dj Tomorrow night Brian will appear at the Candlelight Pavilion Dinner Theatre in Claremont and share the intimate details and personal stories of the artists you know and love along with the history and evolution of pop amp rock ‘n roll “They’re all here in this truly entertaining presentation from Elvis to Elton” said Brian Brian’s legacy includes being Don Imus’s newsman and straight man in Sacramento and Cleveland Brian has a Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame But music is what makes Brian tick “I cook dinner to music And it is a means of relaxation” At one stage Brian had 40000 records everything from Hank Williams to Glenn Miller For a while he collected rare records “Then I would do a run on a label I also have a huge Elvis Presley collection” said Brian When he started at KRTH much of the music in the beginning was from his collection Brian got into the radio business because of the music “My father took me into a radio station when I was ten The announcer told me about his job and then he said you can take some of the records home” That was the selling point for Brian He was playing guitar and piano at home Some got into radio to meet girls and get rich but Brian’s interest was music In the late 1980s Brian decided he wanted to do something on his own – Be his own boss “I wanted to produce a giant Oldies Show ala the Alan Freed days with 10-15 acts which no one had done since then There weren’t many venues on the West Coast to see Oldies performers The shows were mostly in the Midwest South and East Our exposure to these artists originally was American Bandstand” “I wanted to find the Fleetwoods who you never got to see It was a labor of love for me over the years especially finding people who had not worked in years and some were down on their luck” said Brian “We restarted their careers which was a thrilling moment for me” Sonny Knight’s Confidential is one of Brian’s all-time favorite songs “Sonny left in 1965 and headed for Hawaii He had not been back in the States since then He worried if anyone would want to hear those songs Turned out he got two standing ovations and I thought I would never see Sonny Knight do Confidential” said Brian Ed Townsend had a big hit in 1958 called For Your Love and then went on to record producing including Marvin Gaye’s Let’s Get It On “A dear man” Brian remembered Ed “Ed was living in a flea bag hotel and not in good shape I knew him from my days in Chicago He said he would have to quit drinking if he was going to perform From July to October Townsend stayed sober and he called every day to check in He was just magnificent” Ed ended up returning to music producing “I was never in it for the money” said Brian “It was something I could give back for all my years in this wonderful business” Every year for twelve years Brian flew in the performers picked them up in a limo and put them up in hotel All of the Legends of Rock N’ Roll concerts were held at the Greek Theatre Over 110 performers were reunited for Brian’s concerts He never once had a no-show but he did have a couple of close calls The Shirelles missed their flight from San Jose got the next flight out changed clothes in the limo and got to the Greek just as the second to last act was ending And Fontella Bass Rescue Me doesn’t fly and she took the train from Oklahoma The train was delayed on the way but made it just in the knick of time Brian remembers putting together the Penguins Earth Angel and restarting the careers of Tony Allen Nite Owl and Richard Berry Louie Louie “These were all good people Even those who had a bad reputation turned out to be the sweetest people in the world” enthused Brian Today Brian continues to produce shows for corporate and private parties as well as large and small venues He plans another major concert in Southern California in the near future Brian who was born in San Mateo in 1946 spent much of his youth in Oregon where he got his start as a broadcaster on KBZY-Salem Brian described his early radio job in Oregon: It was a real mom and pop operation It was great training ground because you got to do everything You read the news you did your show and you had other duties We even had to feed the cows out in back and water the lawn He went on to work in Sacramento KFRC-San Francisco Cleveland and Chicago His first record in his collection was Goodnight Irene by Gordon Jenkins and the Weavers “I keep some at home some are in vaults but none are ignored A self-described Hopalong Cassidy fan Brian attends the “Hoppy” festival each year in Cambridge Ohio If you love the beginnings of rock ‘n roll join Brian tomorrow night in Claremont Alfonzo Ortiz at KNX by David G Hall May 15 2018 This is the story of an uncommon partnership between a traffic manager and a program director This is the story of how I knew Alfonso Ortiz Bear with the sausage-making here it will be worth It When I was programming KNX I was on a mission to make the station really stand apart in breaking news coverage I was fascinated by how after some minor earthquake under Vernon or Inglewood late one evening a huge number of People Meters came to KNX only to quickly disappear Also for years I had strongly disliked the way a spoken word station traditionally covered breaking news: a relatively short amount of time without commercials followed by an unlistenable hour or two when a host or anchor or board op is cramming in as many spots as possible to make-good the missed spots So I went to Alfonso who was doing KNX’s traffic scheduling and told him I wanted to come up with an alternative clock that adds back commercials intelligently so after breaking news we could switch clocks and put the spots back without cramming them in He encouraged me to work on the clocks but then essentially interviewed me about what I really wanted to have happen He took notes A few days later I went back to Alfonso with my clocks It was a big step beyond the normal cramming And then Alfonso then came back to me and explained how since our meeting he had been thinking about what I really needed and my alternative clocks were important but would take too long He explained that he had gone through most of the clients at KNX looking at who had long term or broadly rotating contracts so they could be made-good over time and how many like car dealers need their spots to run by Friday or they are lost and gone forever He explained that when we go into “wall to wall” coverage he could go through the list quickly and take out the spots with longer contracts to create even more space for immediate make-goods We might be able to make-good one commercial free hour in three hours I was grateful and excited and pleasantly surprised that he was so willing to help us on the programing side even though It would mean a lot more work for him Then he came back again low key and cool as was his way and said he had kept thinking about my goal and had yet another idea He had looked at the network contracts CBS Westwood etc and saw that their dayparts were longer than ours meaning a “morning drive” network spot could actually be made-good in part of our midday where there was less pressure and still be in compliance Also network spots could be made-good over weeks instead of hours or days He had come back with a brilliant idea: why not come back from commercial free coverage and still not play network spots That way we could open up twice as much time to make-good local spots in each hour and he could make-good the network spots over the following weeks We could make up one hour of commercial free breaking news coverage in just a little over 2 hours this way It would be a tremendous amount of work for him above what he already did But he felt strongly that this would work Later that summer we put all of this to the test California had the worst fire season on record Over a million acres were burned 23 people were killed and 20000 firefighters were out on those lines all at essentially the same time At KNX Alfonso and I put our little plan to work and we went more than 48 hours commercial free When all was back to normal we had not lost a spot Over my career I have worked with some amazing traffic people and I have the utmost respect for what they have to do: if they do their job well no one notices or comments But since millions of dollars of revenue pass through their systems one little mistake becomes a big deal But Alfonso was different It wasn’t just that the pd and the traffic guy had a good relationship It wasn’t just that we had an alliance that served both of our departments We had a real partnership for which he had to work much harder than normal to help our little news radio sound its best stand apart assume a bigger role in the community and yet remain a business all the while This week as his family and friends and fellow KNXers mourn the death and celebrate the life of Alfonso Ortiz people are telling their stories about him This is mine KOST At the Top May 14 2018 The April ’18 Nielsen ratings arrived with a startling announcement “The integrity of our data is a top priority Effective

include game shows Big Shots and its spinoff Forever Young on NBC ABC’s Celebrity Family Feud Family Feudaverages more than 10 million viewers daily and Showtime at the Apollo on Fox From all his efforts Harvey made a reported 425 million last year Highlights: THR: What’s the show where you feel most yourself SH: Showtime at the Apollo That was the first place I was on national tv as a stand-up and I eventually became the longest-running host Nothing would make me walk away from the Apollo THR: When people are so easily offended now does it make comedy harderSH: That’s the one hesitancy I have with going back to stand-up I’m in a sponsor-driven business and they keep moving the line of political correctness It keeps getting closer and closer to where you can’t open your mouth negatively Throw away freedom of speech That’s out the window now THR: Are there any game shows left to be rebooted SH: They’ve pretty much exhausted these old properties After they saw what Family Feud did everybody went out and got ahold of their old stuff They gotta find something new something where everybody can play along at home That’s what makes Family Feud so good What’s your favorite color ‘Dark blue!’ Bing!” THR: What’s the five-year plan SH: I’m gonna have the biggest television production company in Hollywood I’m gonna be producing more hits than any production company in the industry And I’m gonna own a huge organic food business I’m going to help people reshape the way they eat A doctor told me ‘Steve what you eat in your 40s we will diagnose in your 50s What we diagnose in your 50s we will treat you for in your 60s Whatever we’re treating you for in your 60s we will bury you for in your 70s’ It changed the way I ate” Sunday Nostalgia My Mother’s Day My mom passed away on Christmas Eve 2003 In 1970 she was diagnosed as it turned out mis-diagnosed with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Lou Gehrig’s Disease It is a crappy disease Okay all diseases are crappy But ALS is a particularly debilitating disease because it methodically disengages the sufferer paralyzing the body limb by limb while keeping the patient’s mental agility intact My then-15 and 16-year-olds only knew their grandmother as someone confined to a bed As an only child my charge was to be a parent to my own kids and also to my parents For the previous 10 years my days started with changing her diapers and my evenings ended with changing her diapers But there were vibrant times before this crappy disease began its slow journey to rob the body of all vital functions My mom introduced me to the beach and the ocean and I’ve carried on a love affair with both ever since My parents moved from Boston to Hollywood 503 Sycamore Street when I was three months old My mom and I traveled by bus to the beach at Santa Monica You can imagine the delight for my mom who grew up in the snow of New York and was in Kirk Douglas’ graduating class at St Lawrence University We eventually convinced my father that we should move to Santa Monica and I went to John Muir Elementary John Adams Junior High and Santa Monica High School a mere four blocks from the beach Photo of my mother and father in 1943 preparing for the drive to the beach I was running a radio station in Detroit in 1970 when my parents came for a Christmas visit I received a call from my father warning me that mother’s foot was dragging and please don’t mention it to her Hardly a unique request from a family that would have denied the presence of an elephant in the living room It was the beginning of the physical deterioration of her body On Sundays her home was filled with flowers Mother was confined to a wheelchair before she was bedridden but every Sunday our home was still filled with flowers A member of the Santa Monica Presbyterian Church would bring flowers from that morning’s service The flowers were really an excuse for a visit The visitor would always leave our home in better spirits That’s just the way my mom was Even in her last days the nurses and attendants at her convalescent home plagued by their own personal challenges would visit my mom just to get cheered up Ruth Barrett’s ashes were scattered off the coast of Santa Monica For decades she has been unable to sit on the beach or wade in the ocean jumping over the endless parade of waves while giggling and laughing As she took her last breath on Christmas Eve this crappy disease finally won its battle But she will be the eventual victor finally at peace in the ocean she so loved Email Saturday 51218 Miss Dex Allen“I’m so sad to hear about Dex Allen! I repped KGGI/KMEN in the 80s when he owned it He was a straight-up guy who understood every aspect of a radio station and was a pleasure to sell for and work with Radio will miss him” – Mary Beth Garber Dex’s Midnight Runner “Dex Allen also owned KOWL AM and KRLT FM at Lake Tahoe under his Commonwealth Broadcasting in the 1990s He made frequent trips to Tahoe to visit his stations where I worked” – Bill Kingman Dex Got It “I am very sorry to learn of Dex Allen’s passing I worked with him at KCBQ He was a very nice man and as you mentioned what a unique person to go from on air personality to ownership He got it” – Mike Butts Met with Dex“I was saddened to hear of Dex Allen’s passing In the early 1980s a mutual friend of ours lined up a quick meeting between me Dex and radio consultant Jerry Clifton Dex needed a new pd for his KGGI/KMEN combo and I was a former K/men programmer myself In the end I chose instead to stay with my on-air position at KOST in Los Angeles However I remember Dex being quite genuine jovial and I had the distinct impression that he would be a great guy to work for in the radio business My condolences to his family and friends” – Ted Ziegenbusch Concert Connection “I’m very sorry to hear about Dex Allen Lee Bartell tried to get us together to do concerts back in the sixties but I just couldn’t do it We started to do the Beach Boys but we had different ideas about the business” – Jack Hayes 1 With a Bullet “One of the most memorable calls I ever received on the K-EARTH 101 request line: Me: ‘Good evening K-EARTH 101 this is Keri’ Him: ‘Keri my name is Don Bustany and I’d like to invite you to be the first female dj to guest host on Casey Kasem’s American Top 40’ Me: ‘Ha Ha very funny’ Lo these decades later I count him in my top two of the kindest producer / directors What a sweet soul Fly to Heaven” – Keri Tombazian Six-Month Mother“My mother Florence Laverne raised four children alone for six months a year all my young life My dad was an officer in the US Navy and spent 6 months every year on a submarine patrolling the Pacific Ocean She grew up in Chicago with her Greek family that was notorious for a different kind of ‘family’ business Not wanting to have anything to do with that life she moved to San Diego where she met and married my father Joe We had a very happy family with love and humor being the focal point She told us to always follow our hearts and make people laugh She never talked much about her family As I grew older I asked about our family’s ethnicity This became one of her favorite jokes: She told my sisters Barbara amp Jill and me amp my brother Bobby that we were half French and half Greek Her famous punchline was: ‘So that makes you a freak!’ Love and miss you mom Thanks for making me the funny loving ‘freak’ I became Your proud son” – Jimmy Duncan Mother’s Day Stories “I loved the flashback on Mother’s Day Loved Geno Michellini’s story about taking his mom to see Greg Kihn Geno looks like he could be one of the Gibbs brothers” – Bob Koontz High Flying Baugh “Happy Mom’s Day to my fave gal Became a pilot in ’39 and I truly believe her spirit flies with me every day! Happy Mother’s Day to all moms” – Jeff Baugh Stern Cut “Thank you for the funny article about Howard Stern being edited that’s like Claude Rains being shocked there was gambling at Rick’s! Then again HBO isn’t known for original thinking It’s cable so why edit him I wish I could see this but we don’t get HBO and anyway the one act I wanted to see inducted was the Moody Blues They were part of my growing up” – Julie Byers Stern’s Endless Rants “I find Howard Stern’s faux anger amusing I stopped listening to him two years ago when the show became so far removed from its original beginnings and from the things that made his show so popular He turned ultra PC and renamed his whack packers with less offensive names He abandoned most of his controversial bits and skits even though they were hilarious He cut his live show down from 5 days to 4 days to now 3 days a week and then the endless week-long vacations by comparison Rush Limbaugh still works Xmas week Stern clearly doesn’t want to do his show His endless rantings about being tired his increasing impatience with callers and the fluff interviews with the same dozen celebrities became unlistenable particularly since you have to pay for his content I honestly haven’t missed it one bit But now to hear his anger at being censored is hypocritical That’s exactly what he has done to his show He’s censored all of the element of his show that were funny and made him the success he became” – Steve Chang Venice KABC Winner“I went down to KABC today to pick up some Paul Simon tickets and thought you’d enjoy this montage hanging in the lobby Ran into Drew Hayes while I was there John Phillips was pacing in the parking lot doing a phone interview when I arrived Hope the station will do better and I have my opinions on that Thanks for keeping up your column” – Andrew Schermerhorn Distractions I agree with your assessment of the 1000 giveaways by both KNX and KFI It’s totally distracting and to lump it in with other radio station giveaways it’s unsafe to encourage folks many of whom are driving to text while they may be behind the wheel I know there are plenty who are not driving and could safely enter the contest but there are those stupid people who get tempted by the station’s offer of that they’ll text when they shouldn’t When KFI introduces their ‘KF-I in the sky’ traffic segment is the traffic reporter sitting at a desk somewhere with his microphone and a computer screen/scanner and is NOT in the aircraft When KNX states that their freeway reports are being delivered by the person in the air the reporter is actually in the air It seems to me that KFI isn’t being so honest with their listeners A familiar voice from the past seems to have joined KNX: Nathan Roberts is on-air again as a studio story reporter Thanks Don for all your hard work and funnies at the top of your daily page Many of them have made it to my funny file in my computer – Steve Nieto Yorba Linda Response to Michael Harrison “Radio didn’t choose to ‘program stringently bordered “categories” to one-dimensional listeners’ That decision was made for us by the listeners by the advertising agencies by radio being first and foremost a business As I have explained to numerous people who have tried to convince me that listeners should be in charge not the programmers listeners are not radio’s customers They are radio’s product because their listening is what we sell to the advertisers The programmer’s job is to attract as many of those listeners as possible in whatever saleable demographic the station wants to sell advertising for Radio became more homogenized – and yes Michael I agree with your use of the word ‘embarrassment’ – when Madison Avenue decided there’s no profit in marketing to over-55s The acts he lists as MIA from playlists don’t appeal to the audience the advertising community wants In a nutshell that’s why Oldies stations don’t exist in the big markets Unless you are 100 local sales and have the staff to make an older audience attractive to the local businesses you can’t get the ad bucks The bills have to be paid after all That last point is why our market’s Oldies station is on Saul Levine’s KSUR He can afford to pay the bills without much ad revenue because of his success with KKGO and also because having owned the latter outright since he put it on the air in 1959 he has absolutely zero debt service But Entercom iHeart Cumulus Not going to happen” – KM Richards Potpourri “I was very sorry to learn about the passing of Mark Morris Over the years he was both a very good radio announcer and an outstanding ‘behind the scenes’ radio programmer I still remember the various stints he had as a radio announcer traffic reporter and disc jockey at both on AM 1260 and K-JAZZ Like John Regan he was with 1260 for a number of years both when it was playing Oldies and Adult Standards While he was on the staff at 1260AM I had opportunity to talk with him at least two or three times over the telephone He was always very pleasant In more recent years we kept in contact via Facebook Mark Morris will be sorely missed! On a completely different subject: You posed the question two weeks ago in your column concerning what constitutes an Oldie I think it was Art Laboe who coined the term “ ‘Oldies but Goodies’ back in the 60s to refer to rock’n’roll songs that were recorded and played on the radio during the late 50s and early 60s I think many jocks including Bruce Morrow Cousin Brucie today that tend to apply the term ‘Oldies’ to songs that were on the hit charts in the 50s 60s and early 70s And there are a few jocks that simply refer to all pop songs prior to mid-50s as ‘golden Oldies’ I guess the word ‘Oldie’ is a relative term I continue to read and enjoy your LARadio column And I would like to know where I can send in a check to financially support it” – Carl Spring West LA I Use to Love You Honey ‘Til You Spent All My Money – Fats Domino May 11 2018 Seeing the bonuses paid to help retain iHeart radio execs once again reminds me I was just a worker amongst workers I never had a parachute offer golden or brown nor a big payout while I worked or before I retired It’s especially tough to think of all of the decent and talented people who worked for the Lowry Mays family and Bob Pittman during the last decade These people dedicated themselves to the radio industry they loved only to be shoved off a moving train Jim Carson’s story about Archie Bell and his hit song Tighten Up prompted Bill Seward to write “Archie Bell was also the older brother of College Football Hall of Famer Ricky Bell of USC” Well there you go … Mike Joseph died last month at the age of 90 His name might not mean much to the radio listener but if you listened to one the Mike Joseph-consulted stations you learned quickly what heavy rotation meant He created the “Hot Hits” format On his Top 40 stations he would turn over the music to the point where every hour you would hear the Top 5 songs Mike gave a new definition to heavy hits rotation His stations were mostly in the East although heard on the West Coast at KITS San Francisco I’ve always found it strange – and perhaps a bit desperate – to have cash contesting at an all-News station Aren’t they above the PT Barnum hucksterism of offering 1000 mind you for a national contest before or after stories of genocide in Syria and the interruption of traffic reports detailing a SigAlert on the 405 caused by a truck overturning on the 405 dumping its load of the bonus money being shipped to Robert Pittman and Mary Berner A piece published at CNNMoney states Salem Media Group execs have pressured their talk show hosts to be supportive of President Trump is getting a lot of attention Duh The CNNMoney piece was sent to subscribers yesterday you can sign up to receive these mailings by writing me … Tomorrow some fun Email Saturday contributions On Monday April ’18 ratings Eclectic broadcaster Randy West was just nominated for the Board of Directors at Pacific Pioneer Broadcasters He’ll be great for the organization! His energy level is contagious In 2003 Mays testified before the US Senate that the deregulation of the telecommunications industry had not hurt the public However in an interview that same year with Fortune Magazine he remarked We’re not in the business of providing news and information We’re not in the business of providing well-researched music We’re simply in the business of selling our customers products Mckibben Bill 07 Deep Economy San Francisco: Ignatius Press p 132 Hear Ache May 10 2018 KFI’s John amp Ken were mentioned in an LA Times editorial yesterday “Senator Josh Newman hadn’t been in the job six months when conservative talk radio hosts John Kobylt and Ken Chiampou … started focusing on Newman as the weak link in the Democrats’ chain of power” … Sorry to hear that ReelRadiocom has folded … Condolences to Hal Smith veteran of KLAC in the mid-70s on the passing of his wife Sue “But her spirit and the memories live on” … Steven Pailet posted on Facebook that his buddy CJ Newton lost his job at KSPN after 10 years “If anyone is looking for a good production / imaging manager 20 years of experience CJ Newton is your guy He can be reached at 3236494553 Email – cjnewton1989gmailcom …Mike Kaplan former pd at KYSR Alt 987 has joined Entercom as pd of WBMP Alt 923-New York … Didja know that Archie Bell of the Drells was drafted into the army and began serving in Vietnam when he was shot in the leg While in the army hospital Tighten Up shot to 1 in the Pop and RampB charts He had a tough time convincing the hospital staff that it was him who recorded the song just before he was drafted This narrative was told by former longtime K-EARTH personality Jim Carson LARP: The month of May celebrates Mother’s Day Do you have a special story about your mom from 2009 Geno Michellini former KLOS personality: When I was at KOME-San Jose about 1979 my mom came out to visit me from Colorado I was living in Santa Cruz at the time I remember that my old pal Greg Kihn was playing at a club in Santa Cruz and we went to the show She had never been to a rock concert before but she was my mom and I thought she might as well see the ‘real me’ Now you have to remember those who can what the times were like then Here I am in my bell bottoms and long hair with my mom a sixty something year old lady at a concert Plus it was Santa Cruz lots of let’s say natural ‘products’ around with a lot of ‘smiling faces’ and happy people So here I am with my mom and friends rocking out She’s in her mom clothes and drinking her Seven and Seven standing there down front boppin’ along Certain herbs being passed back and forth and yes I inhaled She didn’t seem to mind so I thought everything was ‘cool’ when this young lady came up and offered one to her Mom smiled and declined and then looked at me and giggled The girl looked at me then at my mom and said ‘Is this your mom’ I responded positively She went on ‘I just think this is so cool that you can go rocking with your mom She is so adorable And she lets you smoke dope too! Wow!’ To which my mom interjects ‘I do not!’ I was a bit confused as I’d just passed one on a minute before that She looked at her and declared ‘I’ve NEVER seen my son smoke that reefer stuff’ Then she giggled again and said ‘Every time he puts one to his lips I close my eyes Like I said I’ve never seen him do it’ The girl hugged my mom got a tear in her eye and said something about my being the luckiest guy in the world It was a side of my mom I didn’t know existed The kicker to the story was that about a week after my mom flew back to Colorado I was looking for a Greg Kihn album to listen to and couldn’t find ‘any’ By chance I called my mom up and asked her if she knew anything about it Her response ‘Yes I may have packed a couple of your Greg Kihn albums in my suitcase Every time I listen to one darlin’ I think of you’ And every time I hear Greg Kihn I remember that night A couple of my mom’s favorite sayings she may have originated them ‘A cheap thrill is STILL a thrill’ and ‘If you didn’t make a mess you didn’t have a good time’ The enclosed picture was taken on the ‘KOME PARTY KRUISE ON THE BAY-’79’ that same trip We did a lot of ‘wild and crazy’ promotions back then I took mom along on all of them She ‘really’ got to know her son I wasn’t sure how she’d respond but I thought it was better to see what was going on in my life than to try and be something I wasn’t As luck turned out ‘There’s a reason I am the way I am’ It was standing next to me in the picture I lost her three and a half years ago Her name was LaVerne and I thank her for what she gave me Because of her spunk and joy in living I have had a great life I love you mom ps Note the shirt and pants Back then ‘it worked’ Leslie Marshall: I grew up pretty poor My dad was a struggling jazz musician and my mom was a part-time nurse so she could be home with us when my brothers and I were in school When I was 15 I was dating a guy a year older than me a junior in my high school and he asked me to go to the junior/senior prom I didn’t have any prom dresses We really couldn’t afford one especially the one I fell in love with in the store window at the mall One day I came home from school and my mom had a box for me In it was the white prom dress I had loved in the window at the mall When I asked how she got it for me she told me she had run across some good luck I found out later in life that my mother actually sold her own clothes to a consignment shop and some jewelry she had to buy me that dress I guess you could say I know my mom would give me the shirt off her back because she has She’s incredible Bob Morgan: My mom how could there be a less selfish person born on this planet I was an only child and as far back as I can remember both my parents doted on me all the time They spoiled me rotten and I was the apple of their eyes My mom was an Oklahoma native Born in Connerville raised in Ada she was by nature a giving woman all her life But it hit me the hardest just moments before she passed away Every time I would visit her when she lived on her own after dad died her first words to me were always ‘can I get you something do you need anything’ When she got to the point where she could no longer live alone I moved her in with me and my daughter Even then the first thing she’d say when she woke up in the mornings was ‘can I get you and Becki something You want some coffee and toast’ Her little lungs failed for the last time a week before her 90th birthday in 1998 In the emergency room the doctor told me they could incibate her but she would be on a breathing machine for whatever time she had left and I had to make a decision The most difficult a son had to make in his life The doctor removed the breathing machine and told me it would just be a matter of minutes I stayed by her bed and an hour and a half later she was still fighting The doctor could not imagine why My pastors were with me and one of them a wonderful 70 year old man told me ‘she won’t go until you tell her it’s okay to leave’ I leaned over and whispered in her ear ‘I’ll be fine Pastor Sherm is here with me Becki and I will be okay You go on and I’ll meet you later’ She grinned and moments later took her last breath I’m not the brightest bulb on the marquee but I know there’s a lot more in this world than we know about But one thing I do know is that moms are special and you only get one shot My one shot was Louise Oliver Rogers Morgan It’s only my humble opinion but she was my Superstar! Chuck Blore: It happened when I was about ten years old or whatever age it is when your mother first asks “Chuckie What do you want to be when you grow up” “What Mom I’m ten years old” I had never given the slightest thought to what I wanted to be that is if you don’t count wanting to be a cowboy and/or Tarzan At ten years old you don’t really have much of a past but my future was about to be sealed I swear to God that moment was traumatic and my memory of it indelible I was sweeping leaves off the porch of our house in East Los Angeles The radio was on and old-time-deejay Al Jarvis was on it Al sounded like he was having a pretty nice time and suddenly I knew what I wanted to do when I grew up So I looked at my mother with my best ‘I’m very serious’ expression I pushed my ten year old voice down as far as it would go and said “I want to talk on the radio” My Mother was a kind and gentle lady and I’m certain what she did then was meant to protect her little boy from being cruelly buffeted about by an unkind society She took both my hands into hers and in the gentlest possible voice said “Chuckie People like us don’t do that” Whoa! Something snapped inside my young little soul and I swore to myself “I am not people like us I am me! And me is gonna talk on the radio!” From that moment on talking on the radio was everything life was about See I owe everything to my mom Don Elliot: It is fitting timing that my mom’s influence on me would arise from my memories today just after my recent surgery at Cedars-Sinai and only hours before Mother’s Day It will be a true Thanksgiving Day for ME on Sunday first the appreciation for my great healthcare and secondly that my mother is alive well comfortable and quite healthy at 90 She takes only one pill a day – a blood pressure med! Now that’s what I call great A wonderful early memory of her and the influence she had on formation of my career choice happened at age 10 on my first trip to The Big Apple She had a family friend named Rudy Eisell a VP at Radio City Music Hall After a lunch at Sardi’s he took me on a trip to the Foley stages during the radio broadcasts and showed me how the sound effects were made live during the shows The most impressive was a wooden rack of clothespins lined up on swiveling wires that could be lifted and lowered on any surface and any angle One could simulate sounds of the feet of marching men and control the speed and intensity right there in the Foley pit during the show He then followed that up with a Spike Jones concert famous for his live sounds blending of anything from trash barrels to cement mixers and damn I’ve been hooked for LIFE! If it’s sound or music it’s my life Remember the old expression – “How about THAT ya learn something’ new every day” Whenever I would “learn something new” my mother would then footnote my comment with “No you just didn’t know it before” Here she is shown teaching a spinning wheel technique to her students at the Kansas City Weavers Guild where she is a member to this day Keep on keepin’ on mom and Happy Mother’s Day from your little radio wire head brat! Wink Martindale: Perhaps like many of your readers my story will ring a bell I grew up in a small house in Jackson Tennessee No modern-day shower just a tub for which hot water had to be heated on the wood stove One bathroom for six people We didn’t have a lot of the material things we take for granted today As Mother’s Day approached last week I was re-reading a letter from my late mom dated May 12 1979 – a letter in which she reminded me “We may not have enjoyed some of the things others had but your dad and I always saw to it there were good meals on the table and you never went naked!” How we turn out as adults in my view is reflected by how we were raised as children In our God-fearing home the appreciation of my mom can be traced to one seminal moment It was a fall evening I was seven or eight years old and had flat-out lied to her about having taken some grapes from our neighborhood grocery store without paying for them She took me out to the back yard stripped a “switch” from our monumental Weeping Willow tree and proceeded to give me the whipping of my young life I never forgot that night I never took what didn’t belong to me again And the event cemented a loving relationship with mom that I have carried with me for life Sad to say but true in today’s world a child might take his/her mom to court for teaching such a lesson How many can relate to these words as you remember YOUR Mom and perhaps make you silently weep in sorry or joyThis is titled “No Charge” My sister’s little boy came into the kitchen one evenin’ while she was fixin’ supper And he handed her a little piece of paper he’d been writin’ on And after wipin’ her hands on her apron she took it in her hands and read it This is what it said For mowin’ the yard 5 dollars For makin’ up my own bed this week 1 dollar For goin’ to the store 50 cents And playin’ with little brother while you went shoppin’ 25 cents Takin’ out the trash 1 dollar And for getting’ a good report card 5 dollars And for rakin’ the yard 2 dollars Total owed 1475 Well she looked at him standin’ there and a thousand memories flashed through her mind So she picked up the pen turned the paper over and this is what she wrote For the 9 months I carried you growin’ inside me no charge For the nights I sat up with you doctored and prayed for you no charge For the time and the tears and the cost through the years there is no charge For advice and the knowledge and the cost of your cottage no charge For the toys food and clothes and for wipin’ your nose there’s no charge son And when you add it all up the full cost of my love is … No Charge Howard Stern Cut and He’s Not Happy May 8 2018 Howard Stern was upset No he was pissed Listening to his almost half-hour rant yesterday on his SiriusXM show was clearly from someone who has made a career out of being edited and not liking it For decades it was the FCC or his program directors telling him he couldn’t do something or another Earlier last month Stern was in Cleveland to introduce Jon Bon Jovi into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame He didn’t want to go but Rock Hall Foundation co-founder Jann Wenner and Azoff MSG Entertainment ceo Irving Azoff wanted him there so much that they flew him to Cleveland on a private jet so the travel-wary radio veteran could attend the event “They wanted me thereya got me there now fucking air my fucking speech ya fucking kooks!” he shouted in mock anger as he recalled the event Stern’s comments were edited for the HBO broadcast which was the source of his ire “I really crafted my words I wanted to make people laugh I wanted to have a good time” Stern said at the top of Monday morning’s Howard 100 show adding that he was careful not to say anything unkind about any of the band members in what was an otherwise very irreverent heartfelt speech “I really crafted the thingso some editor could determine if I was funny in places They were probably like ‘Hey that’s a funny joke but we gotta cut somewhere’ No you don’t have to cut somewhere! |
