In 1975, KFI was doing Adult Contemporary until John Rook came in and rocked the station. I was moved to afternoon drive and as the station rocked on, as soon as the sun went down, the rock and roll stopped and on came Dodger baseball. It was an unbelievable mixture for the legendary radio giant. I was the last guy on the air when KHJ dropped the oldies format and I began introducing country music.
Radio can be strange.
Sunday evening from 7-10pm. Since my first love was to be on air and not in sales, I wanted to take full advantage of all the studio time that I could to practice on-air skills. One of my responsibilties just after signing off at 10 was to take transmitter readings and take the station off the air. This is where I went into action. If I made a mistake, I would just lift up the turntable needle and start again, sometimes even adding a little curse or two.
