M.G. Kelly on Ten-Q KTNQ Los Angeles | March 18, 1978 (1:15:21)

Back to the old Power-Spins page we go and an add from the Summer of ‘03. M.G. (Machine Gun) Kelly is truly a West Coast legend. Here’s a guy who was a power jock at KCBQ San Diego back in the day (somewhere there’s a composite of MGK at KCBQ from ‘74… I heard it on vynl some 20 years ago), worked his way up through L.A. radio, then retired in ‘79 to go into pictures (well, “B” films, anyway), only to return on 64 KFI in it’s “Amazin’ AM” Stereo days.

Well, this was one of the Gunner’s last gig’s before that ill-fated venture onto the big screen (okay, movies are never ill-fated). Not to diss Kelly, I think he’s one of the very best to ever crack a mic, and man, you can sure feel the rhythm of THIS show! KTNQ - was this an ass-kickin’ station or what?!

    MG kelly, the greatest top 40 broadcaster of all time. Without question. His on air persona and tack of humor on the dial is legendary. i have learned much from listening to his airchecks, and I am proud to call him a friend. i hope other young jocks, discover these checks and discover that this is how radio should be.

    M.G. KELLY IS AWESOME. I’M A DJ IN KINGSPORT TENNESSEE AND DO A 70′S AND 80′S ALL REQUEST PARTY AND DANCE SHOW ON SATURDAY NIGHTS. I LOVE HIS DELIVERY AND TRY TO FASHION THE SHOW THE SAME WAY. DOES ANYONE KNOW WHERE HE’S LOCATED. IF SO, HOW DO I GET IN TOUCH WITH THIS GREAT LEGEND. PLEASE LET ME KNOW.

    It was because of MG Kelly that I even got into radio. Love him like a brother. I used to call into his show on TenQ all the time as the Kidd from Torrance. Later I took on his last name and was Kidd Kelly for years.

    I’ve heard of Machine Gun Kelly but this was my first time hearing him and his program is entertaining and the music selection and airing is pure radio. Yes, this aircheck was kicking. I enjoyed immensely in listening.

    Wow, oldies, rock, disco, top 40-you don’t hear that kind of diversity on radio these days, and we’re the poorer for it.
