Pat Garrett, 93 KHJ Los Angeles | April 13, 1978
The beginning of the end for KHJ could probably be traced here. Pat Garrett is a capable and really good sounding jock, but blends in a bit TOO well with the music and elements that together were called “The NEW Sound of Position 93 KHJ”. POSITION 93? Actually, quite a bit has been written about…
Eric Chase, 64 KFI Los Angeles | April 13, 1978
64 KFI, Eric Chase with Johnny Nash, who formerly didn’t see Diddly… Eric Chase is another one of those California legends who was heard on so many of the big stations up and down the coast. Perhaps spoken a bit less about than, say, M.G. Kelly, or Robert W. Morgan. But he’s definitely cut from…
Machine Gun Kelly, KTNQ (Ten-Q) Los Angeles | April 8, 1978
Springtime, 1978. Top 40 radio was really playing it all. Kansas. George Benson. the Bee Gees. The Atlanta Rhythm Section and more… All the important action was still on AM. You got all the music, plus the news, traffic reports, huge contests with lots of money, or in this case, a special screening including a…
Charlie Van Dyke, 93 KHJ Los Angeles | May 5, 1977
Van Dyke & Company is how the show was identified when Charlie arrived at 68 WRKO in Boston. But here at KHJ, CVD simply shined! A man who was funny and had a great set of pipes (which nearly everyone has heard due to his TV station imaging), Charlie Van Dyke was perfect for the…
Jim Conlee, 1020 KTNQ Los Angeles | 1979
Oh, the days of (tape) skimmer machines for in-studio air checking. You won’t hear it on this presentation, but the whole aircheck was infused with an annoying speeding up of the recording in between jock talk. This happens because of the way cassette decks were wired to the board, so that the tape automatically records…
Beau Weaver, 93/KHJ Los Angeles | 1976
Sometime way back in 2002, I struck up an internet friendship with Hollywood TV and Voice Actor Beau Weaver. Beau is a fascinating person; an uber talented (and accomplished!) TV voice actor, a Ham Radio operator (more on that in a moment), and a great radio DJ back in the days when creativity on the…
Leo Knott, 102.3 KJLH Los Angeles | 1984-89
The late Leo Knott contributed this aircheck of himself on KJLH Los Angeles back in 2007. Description by Contributor… This aircheck features myself at Stevie Wonder’s KJLH (Kindness, Joy, Love and Happiness)… My longest stint as a jock. Had nice success with KJLH’s Sunday Oldies Show — (#1 Arbitron. Took my oldies act to KACE,…
640 KFI and 710 KMPC Los Angeles: A Car Radio Recording | November 13, 1978
While 93 KHJ was desperately trying to hold on as a Top 40 stations, other AM stations sounded incredible. Not included on this composite – which is really mostly KMPC – is the other competitor that for a short while gave everyone a run for their money, KTNQ Ten-Q. You’ll hear two breaks from Tim…
