Cavalcade of Hits – The “Pre-Boss Radio” KHJ Los Angeles | 1965
Among the many tapes laying around the airchexx studio is one Fuji DR 90 cassette, most of which has already been posted. On side 1, the first 30 minutes or so is a soon to be posted aircheck of Steve Jay on 1360 KGB San Diego. Next, sandwiched in between that and the historic format…
The True Don Bleu, 93 KHJ Los Angeles | 1979
Restored from mud (because thats how it sounded at first playback), here’s a micro-aircheck of The True Don Bleu, who sounds more upbeat somehow on a subdued 93 KHJ. The clock was ticking toward the upcoming (but nobody knew just yet) Country format the following year, and KHJ still managed to play the hits. I’ve…
Bobby Ocean & John Sebastian, “Position 93” KHJ Los Angeles | April 14, 1978
It’s simple, we want to be YOUR radio station – KHJ …Which they WERE, for a very long time. One has to wonder what line of thinking lead to the days of “Position 93”. Top 40? Yes. Exciting? Not really, if you’re judging the station by this aircheck. The music, especially during Bobby Ocean’s show,…
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…
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…
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…
Composite: Rick Dees, 93 KHJ Los Angeles | 1979 – 80
Courtesy of new contributor Leo Knott comes this reasonably low-fidelity recording of various Rick Dees morning shows during his time at 93 KHJ. Dees fans note that this is so tightly scoped down that there’s barely a hint of KHJ jingles, no music and is otherwise somewhat boring to the average listener because of the…
QuickChexx: M. G. Kelly, 93 KHJ Los Angeles
Courtesy of Contributor Mike Donovan… Not exactly sure where this came from but it appears to be a demo from Machine Gun Kelly from his days at KHJ. Think of how many things no PD in radio today would tolerate on the air, and realize that most of what Kelly does on the air here…
