 KHJ 93 Los Angeles – Robert W Morgan – May 27 1968 Back in the late 1960s & early 1970s, 93 KHJ was a Top 40 powerhouse in SoCal. It was so popular, “Boss Radio“ was practically the soundtrack of Los Angeles. For many years, “personality”Top40 radio—dominated by lots of deejay chatter and & long jingles. In 1965 legendary radio programmer Bill Drake, along with program director Ron…

L.A. Top 40 Radio Composite | February, 1983

Included in a box of goodies from Contributor Nancy Plum (KRTH/KTNQ) was this fairly short composite that opens up with one of our most requested jocks – Big Ron O’Brien on 102.7 KIIS-FM. And while it’s pretty short overall, the opening segment with Big Ron and the sample of Kiss-FM in February 1983 is worth just a few minutes of your time by itself!

At 2 minutes in, more proof that CHR radio was…

Nancy Plum & John M. Driscoll, KTNQ Ten-Q Los Angeles | September, 1977

This is really an early morning composite of one of the West Coast’s most exciting Top 40 stations to ever hit the airwaves! KTNQ, “Ten-Q” was a high-power, lightning fast-paced Top 40 station. One of the stations in L.A. that helped permanently de-throne 93/KHJ. Prior to 1976, 1020 was KGBS, which had its own personality oriented format… a bit less exciting than the New Ten-Q.

Nancy Plum is…

From the radio station that used the same jingle for over 30 years! Here’s a very capable Jay Coffey cruising through the year 1964 as K-Earth presents a “Top of Pops” Weekend!

TECHNICAL

This is a very clean recording. Some white noise is present, so, this could have been recorded at some distance from Los Angeles. Otherwise, the quality is good.

This is Oldies radio, really at 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 mic, being spontaneous and funny with no liner cards and running a tight show mattered… all on…
