Here’s the longtime host of the current “Loren and Wally” morning show in Boston, at his prior gig in Denver. Owens has this really dry sense of humor that is evident in parts of this aircheck showcasing his morning show on KIMN.
Morning shows were quite different back in ‘79, just one guy doing a show filled with time & weather checks, full newscasts, traffic, etc… but not the Hollywood updates and other senseless babble that fills shows today. Owens really shines as a jock doing a morning gig here, and the same style is evident currently at 105.7 WROR Boston – only he adds a lot more comedy into the routine today. This is fun listening – at 19 minutes you really get a feel for KIMN and life in Denver!

Nice aircheck – Loren has always been smooth, personable, and entertaining, but this is just a pale hint of what was to come once he got to Boston and teamed up with Wally Brine. I worked in sales at WVBF from 1979 to 1992, so I had a front row seat as the morning show developed into the market’s best by far. And with the addition of Tom Doyle, the funniest somehow became better still. Thanks for posting the Denver teaser!

I wish they would bring this station back as a young generation raised on the music of the late 50s and up to the late 70s Genre of music I would appricate seeing this historical callsign back on It’s proper place… I wish someone would petition the Denver radio scene to bring back this favorite…
