Born Willis Bennett Ballance, quotBilloquot and a graduate of the University of Illinois, Bill worked at KOA-Denver and WBKBTV-Chicago in the early 1950s. One of the original quotSeven Swingin Gentlemenquot when KFWB went quotColor Radioquot in 1958, Bill worked mostly evenings. Bill went to Denver and San Francisco following KFWB where he had impressive success. He then went to Honolulu8217s KHVH, was later pd of KGMB and then returned to the mainland to KNBR-San Francisco. Bill suddenly skyrocketed when he converted the routine rock-jock formula at KGBS into the quotFeminine Forum. quot His most lasting claim in Southern California radio was that he was the first to openly address sexuality, issues of sexual intercourse and sexual preference. By 1972 his quotFeminine Forumquot was syndicated in a number of major cities, simulcast in San Diego and he won the Gavin award that year. Bill gave the phone lines over to the ladies and listened. He wouldnt even call them housewives. They were women in Bills mind - educated and intelligent - and he treated them that way. Between calls, he played the hits. Bill was profiled in every major publication in the country, as well as the London Times and a Cosmopolitan cover story. Time magazine said, quotBill has many imitators, but no rivals. quot In March 1973, a front-page story in the Times reported that executive vp of Storer Broadcasting, Peter Storer, felt that the image of Bills program had been quotcolored and damaged by less-restricted imitators. quot As a result, it was announced that the program would be dropped. The FCC eventually concluded his show was quotnot obscene, quot but it was too late. For all the attention his show attracted, Bill did it with taste. He knew the line not to cross, but his copycats didnt, and Bill got the blame, never getting true credit for his bold, sex-oriented broadcasting. His brilliant command of the language prevented his KGBS show from being dirty. His show was a lot like the old girlie magazines. It wasnt total nudity - it showed just enough to make it tantalizing. His tome, Bill Ballance Reveals How to Cope . had five printings. In 1978 he moved to KFMB-San Diego, where he worked until departing in the summer of 1993. Bill died September 23, 2004, at the age of 85. Ballance . Lance: KOST, 1989-98 KBIG, 1998-2002.

Richard Bogardus 8220Red8221 Blanchard passed away on June 16. 2011, at his home in Escondido. He was 91. Death was attributed to complications in the recovery from recent cancer surgery.

As a little kid he was fascinated with building crystal sets and he became a ham operator. He loved music and played trombone during the era of 8220swing music.8221 Red started his radio career after a stint in the army and he joined KPRO-Riverside in December 1945. He started the 822014-40 Club.8221 In 1950 he went to KCBQ-San Diego and a year later was working at KLS-Las Vegas. While toiling in the backyard of his Sherman Oaks home and talking on a cellular phone in 1996, Red recalled his stop in Vegas: 8220I was there during the atomic bomb testing and I recorded the sound of the blast and fed it to the networks. I was called a heroic, brave reporter for taking on this assignment.8221 With a laugh, Red said, 8220The fact of the matter, all I did was hang a microphone out the window of the radio station. Hardly brave or heroic, but nonetheless.8221 He recounted his early fame: 8220I had my greatest radio success in San Francisco. I worked at KCBS from 1951 to 1955 and was written up in Life Magazine . Time and other major publications. By 1955 it had run its course and I returned to Los Angeles.8221 He went to KPOP to do mornings and while he was there, Red recorded Cape Canaveral, Pts 1 amp 2 on Pirate Records. A year later on the very day he was let go from KPOP, he was fired from the 8220graveyard shift on KFWB. In 1960 he became a staff announcer at KNX for five years. 8220I was fired due to illness.

Ron was a beloved CBS Radio engineer who was responsible for KTWV, KRTH, and KLSX. He died of a kidney tumor on October 30, 2008. He was 62. 8221Born and raised in Seattle, Ron discovered in high school a strong interest in broadcasting, listening to the big stations in Seattle and sitting up at night tuning in the far away signals from exotic locations like San Francisco8217s Big 610 KFRC and KREM-Spokane,8221 wrote his CBS Radio colleague Jim Blakely . 8220Ron started hanging with the announcers and promo people working at Seattle8217s Top 40 radio stations collecting 45s and getting his feet wet. Ron was hooked. Radio would become his life.8221 quotHis technical skill with tubes and microphones was well-known but many may be surprised to know Ron was also an excellent photographer,8221 continued Blakely. 8220His knowledge of cameras and film and lighting allowed him to meet many very attractive ladies who loved modeling for portraits.8221 Ron worked as a dj and engineer in the Seattle area before moving to KLOK-San Jose and becoming the station8217s chief engineer. He moonlighted at Ampex as a lab technician and gained his legendary experience and skill in tape machine technology. 8221My friendship with Ron began in 1980,8221 recalled Blakely. 8220We met when he came on board at 93KHJ. Prior to his arrival his resume included a doctored photo of the Golden Gate Bridge at high tide 8211 mostly submerged. That spoke volumes about Ron8217s wacky sense of humor. In the early 80s, we were preparing for the big studio build-out and move into brand-new facilities which today house KROQ and JACKfm on Venice Boulevard. His skills as an engineer dovetailed well into the team that Bob Kanner and Lynn Duke was assembling for the big project.8221 After a decade at KHJ and K-EARTH, Ron left for eventual chief duties at KLAC KZLA and later 1580KDAY. He eventually returned to CBS Radio. 8220Ron was one of the most upbeat personalities I8217ve ever encountered. He was the same on the air or off. He always had a story and a smile for everyone he met. We remained friends for 28 years. During the difficult period of suffering through the final stages of his illness he was still optimistic and reported to work nearly every day. Even though his diminished strength reduced his ability for physically demanding tasks, he was still able to do precision wiring and document administration.8221 Blatt . Steve: KUSC, 2004-05.

She works afternoon drive. Helens love of jazz may have been instilled at birth as she was born in one of the hotbeds of the music, Kansas City. But, more likely, it was engendered by her older brother, Ken, whose playing of John Coltrane, Gerald Wilson, Charlie Byrd, and Buddy Rich - Helens earliest memories of jazz - came through the walls of his bedroom into hers. Her father taught radio and television at USC, Ken graduated from USC with a degree in broadcasting, and her mother, too, had been in radio, back in the 40s in New York. She was a copy writer at WMCA and WOR, and worked with budding jazz journalists Leonard Feather and Barry Ulinov at the studios. So, jazz and radio were in Helens blood. Helens intention, however, was a life in the theatre. She majored in theatre at Cal State Long Beach, and her only radio work was doing weekly radio dramas on the student station, KSUL. But Ken became program director of KLON a few years before CSULB became the licensee. Ken recruited Helen to help out at the station, even giving her a weekly show featuring vocal music. When the move was made to the university, and Ken streamlined the format to 24-hour jazz and blues, Helen was part of the deal. She became the weekend jazz host, Saturdays and Sundays from noon to five. A year of that and she became the weekday afternoon drive host, eventually moving to the morning drive when Chuck Niles came from KKGO to do afternoons. After her second year as a host, Helen was also made music director, interacting with the record label promoters, building and maintaining the stations jazz library. In addition to her drive-time and library duties, Helen began a weekly three-hour interview program called The Artists Corner . Each week, a different guest artist would come to the studio, choose their favorite recordings from the KLON library or bring them from home and, between their selected tracks, discuss these recordings and their lives with Helen. The guests included local greats as well as out-of-town legends, including Horace Silver, Gerald Wilson, Max Roach, Abbey Lincoln, Steve Allen, Ray Brown, Kenny Burrell, Eddie Harris, Tony Williams, all of the Marsalis family members, and many, many others. Lots of the young giants got early exposure on this program, including Joshua Redman, Nicholas Payton, Mark Whitfield, Brad Mehldau, Terence Blanchard, Harry Connick, Jr. to name only a few. For over ten years Helen hosted this show, building a reputation as the stations number one interviewer. From 1991 to 1994, Helen was pd for a European jazz service called Eurojazz, which served the Netherlands via satellite from a special studio built in KLONs facilities. Along with designing and coordinating locally-produced jazz shows and European-produced shows, she would do her local drive-time show each day at KLON, and then go up the hall to broadcast to Europe. Eventually the service relocated to London, and Helen moved to England to set up the studios and reorganize the programming. After a year abroad, she returned to California and KLON, where she has been ever since. In her capacity as a jazz broadcaster, Helen has been invited to give pre-concert lectures at various performing arts centers, has served on panels in jazz conventions all over the world, and has lectured about the history of jazz in middle schools, high schools, and colleges. She has also written articles for international jazz publications. She regularly emcees concerts, festivals, and club dates throughout southern California. Borgers .

Morgan . died of a massive heart attack January 17, 2001. He had the heart attack while driving home from a meeting. A motorist saw his car go off the road into a ditch and called 911. The car had automatic door and window locks, which wouldnt open from the outside so the paramedics had to break in. They tried to revive him for over an hour but to no avail, according to a family member. B. R. was born in Aberdeen, Washington, on September 4, 1942, and he spent several years at Grays Harbor College. His first job was at KHOK-Hoquiam, Washington. In 1965 B. R. moved to KOL-Seattle, then in 1970 to KFRC-San Francisco. It was at KFRC that he changed his on-air name from Bill Munson to his real name Bill Bradbury. (According to Frank Thompson, B. R. grabbed onto his first two initials at the last second when he began his first on-air newscast at KFRC. Apparently there was another Bill on the news staff.) In 1972 B. R. transferred to KHJ, where he was the newsman for Robert W. Morgan. He went with Robert to KIQQ (quotK-100quot). At the 1973 annual Billboard Radio Programming Forum, B. R. was voted best newsman. In 1980 B. R. returned to Seattle and worked at KJR. In 1985 he joined CKLG-Vancouver, B. C. as news director. He retired from radio in 1995 and opened his own insurance agency in Blaine, Washington. Lan Roberts, a longtime friend and colleague remembered B. R. quotHe was a true professional and one of the nicest people you would ever meet in radio or tv. quot B. R. was 58. Bradley .

After the service, he joined Mutual Broadcasting as an engineer and eventually joined Westinghouse in their Washington, DC bureau. That assignment brought him to Southern California. 8220Broadcast news changed in 1963. When I got into broadcast journalism it was not entertainment and it was not to titillate. I was standing in Arlington cemetery watching a man dig a hole where they would bury John Kennedy. President Kennedy personified a mood of optimism. With his assassination I knew things would never be quite the same again. Americans became disillusioned.8221 Charlie and his wife retired to the Antelope Valley where he ran very successful pet-sitting service. 8220I feel fortunate to have been a reporter on some historic events over a four-decade period.8221 (Billy the Kid, Lee Barry, Bobby Blue, and Burt Brown) Brainard .

He and his buddies hosted a radio drama called 8220The Adventures of Vivacious Vicky.8221 During the Korean War, Ray was heard on Armed Forces Radio and in 1953 he became a dj at KGIL. A year later he hosted 8220The Breakfast Club8221 on KLUB-Salt Lake City for four years. In 1958 he was part of radio and tv at KING-Seattle, where he hosted a Seattle Bandstand-type show. 8220They called me the Dick Clark of Seattle .8221 Ray returned to the Southland in early 1960 to jock at KLAC. When KLAC started Talk radio with Joe Pyne . Ray resisted He told Claudia Puig of the LA Times . 8220I went into it kicking and screaming. I liked playing the music. I realized what a dumb head I was. I knew very little about politics or the workings of government, and the first year I was an embarrassment.8221 He was hired at KABC on July 4, 1967. He initially got a percentage of the advertising during his all-night shift, but that perk was eliminated during a recession. For eight years he show was carried nationally on the ABC network. In an OC Register interview with Gary Lycan, Ray said he was most proud of his 10-year association with commentator Vladimir Posner from the former Soviet Union. 8220I started calling Radio Moscow in the fall of 1977. He would use our phone calls as basis for commentaries. Nobody else was doing it.8221 Ray is a ham-operator and received a Freedoms Foundation George Washington Medal for information he helped supply after the seizure of the U. S.S. Pueblo in 1968.

Asked if he would miss the all-night vigil, Ray said: 8220After 27 years on the graveyard shift, my body says staying up all night ain8217t the right thing to do. Your biological clock, your circadian rhythms are always upset.8221 In late 1995 Ray started an afternoon drive talk show on KIEV.

He owned KC Kings Sportscards in Ventura and works swing at KNX. 8220I started in radio in 1972. I left L. A. to take my first real job in Prescott, Arizona at KNOT. While there I also wrote a twice weekly column on sports for the local paper.8221 From Prescott, Bob made the nomadic journey to eventually get back home. He worked in Palm Springs, Oklahoma twice, KELP-El Paso, New Mexico for 9 days, and KVFM in LA was his first L. A. gig. He went on to work at KJLH and KGFJ. He did some news and sports for KNX and news on sister stations KHTZ and KNXfm. 8220I worked for the LA Times in a project that eventually failed. Finally ended up as a National correspondent joining MutualCBS. I became West Coast bureau chief for the UPI Radio Network,8221 said Bob. Brill continued: 8220I was beaten up in the LA riots at Florence amp Normadie while filing a report and ended up in the hospital. I was one of the many who received an LA Press Club Award for riot coverage, although I only covered for the one day due to the injury.8221 A fan of collectibles, Bob wrote the first ever sports collectibles column for the UPI wire. 8220I had been dealing trading cards part time for years and I am very heavily involved today.8221 He left UPI to free lance and started his own publication TBR: The Brill Report, which was the first hard news publication in the memorabilia industry. I broke several stories, including one picked up by the New York Times on exposing the dark side of NFL Properties which remains a big story today.8221 8220I sold TBR and took a position with a trading card manufacturer in 1995 and 8216due to my integrity8217 I was let go after less than a year,8221 Brill continued. 8220Honestly, that was the reason as told to me by one of the other manufacturers after I left. He had inquired as to why I was fired. I love that. anyway, I became a consultant with smaller trading card companies and eventually moved to Ventura where I opened a sports card and memorabilia store: KC Kings Sportscards the K stands for Koufax and the C for Clemente.8221 8220I patterned the Web site after the wire service, as we take no industry advertising and promote a free and independent press. Ive broken several stories already although I dont have an archive system yet. My son and I are working on a book on China. I8217m also writing a screenplay.

After receiving six Golden Mike awards and reporting one breaking news story after another, John hung up his microphone in the spring of 2013. Brooks first started in radio while a student at Allegheny College in Pennsylvania, before moving to Southern California in 1970. 8220I was actually in school learning television production when radio chose me. One of my instructors was KVEN-Ventura8217s Ned Rogers . He told me of a job opening and since it paid about as little as the job I had with the Ojai School district, I took it,8221 recalled Brooks. He credits KVEN news director Rick Wallace for giving him needed training and instruction before Wallace left Ventura for KABC and KPOL. Brooks then moved up to Wallace8217s position at KVEN. 8220After I won a bunch of Golden Mikes, Don Schrack . the news director at KFWB asked me to join his team of wild and crazy men and women.8221 It8217s evident to his listeners that Brooks has a style all his own. 8220I always hoped to be a bit irreverent and crazy like Hunter Thompson, yet true to the facts and accurate as Walter Cronkite and CBS News. There should always be an element of entertainment in news when it is appropriate because people are choosing to listen to your station, but you can8217t cross the line into fantasy.8221 8220There8217s a hidden joke somewhere in Brooks8217 stories that you figure out about five seconds after his reports,8221 claimed Pete Demetriou . who shared his high praise for his longtime colleague at both KFWB and KNX. 8220The man is solid and is one of the most prepared journalists ever. He8217ll take everything thrown at him, yet sound so smooth on the air as if he8217d spent 15 minutes rehearsing his report.8221 Though it was hard to name one particular story that stands out, Brooks appreciates the opportunity to have covered NASA and the Space Program. 8220I was fortunate to cover many Space Shuttle flights and most of the science missions at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory. I will never forget the third Space Shuttle mission, the 1982 landing of Columbia at White Sands in New Mexico, when rain at Edwards Air Force Base forced a change in plans. Had to rush there and it8217s a very different place.8221 And like many veterans, Brooks remembers a few close calls as part of his job. 8220At KVEN I had to use the flat bottom of my Volkswagen rabbit mobile unit as a boat across the raging Santa Rosa creek. I have had to jump under a fire blanket as a fire storm crested the ridge during the Old Fire in 2003 and once a mobile unit was singed in another brush fire.8221 The business has evolved quite dramatically since Brooks started at KFWB in 1979. 8220Technically we have a whole new array of devices always with us, such as computers and smart phones to both research and send in reports, the ability to cover breaking news has never been better.8221 Yet Brooks still prefers some of the way things were once done. 8220The irony is that we have so little time to do the kind of quality stories we used to do with a pair of alligator clips and a pay phone. In days gone by I would spend days researching and interviewing for investigative reports, now we must do it faster. 8221 Brooks offered his advice to current and future broadcasters: 8220I have worked with so many great people and the fellowship of the news wheel lasts a long time. Be honest and try to tell stories filled with humanity, wonder, and excitement.8221 (Written by Alan Oda) Brooks . Monica: KPWR, 1987-89 KCMG, 1998-99. Monica worked mornings at WMZQ-Washington, DC.

Montana. as an announcer. 8221 In 1950 Bill joined KGB-San Diego followed by KCBQ when it was a CBS affiliate. He stayed in San Diego for 13 years working as pd at KFSD (now KOGO) as morning man and pd. When KGBfm was launched in 1959, Bill was its first pd. 8220We pretty much had the market to ourselves in those years and were operating in the black from day one.8221 KGB was sold and Bill was off to Las Vegas where he met his wife, Jean, and then to San Francisco and 7 years at KIOI beginning on the night shift then moving to morning drive. 8220Ron Robertson was the director of our fledgling news room.8221 Ron moved on to KFRC, then to KRLA as nd where he hired Bill to produce the community service program quotIn Sessionquot and to do documentaries. 8220Two months after arriving in 1971 my first documentary was aired, 8216Souvenir, Soldier.8217 It won the Golden Mike award in the Best Documentary category for 1971 also picking up an AP award and the Broadcast Media Award from San Francisco State University. Armed Forces Radio also carried it. In 1973 when KRLA went to an automated format I joined KFI where I won another documentary Golden Mike.8221 Before Bill left the Southland radio he worked at KIIS, both AM and FM and KOST as their first morning news anchor. In between he anchored the tv news in Honolulu. 8220In 1982 I was offered the 8216security8217 of a lifetime job at CBSTV Television City as a staff announcer. The security ended when Bill Paley stepped down leading to the mass firings of 1986. Several thousand were fired, something CBS had never done before and I got caught in the second round. I ended my years in broadcasting playing around at a couple stations in the Antelope Valley. I have to call it playing around, for what they paid it couldnt be considered work. In 1994 at age 64 I decided Id had enough of the changing fortunes of radio and retired.8221 Bill passed away April 10, 2003, while retired in Kansas City. He was 72. Browning .

Hugh is probably one of the least remembered personalities on Old Time Radio. He was a California native, born in 1909, who spent his entire broadcasting career in Los Angeles. He died in 1972, at the age of 63. After graduating from the University of Southern California in 1931, he tried to embark on a career in business, first dealing with the Signal Petroleum Company of Long Beach. At the time that oil company was toying around with the idea for a radio program based upon the Tarzan series of books by Edgar Rice Burroughs. Burroughs happened to be in the corporate office when Hugh was applying for the job. The personnel manager said that positions that he was qualified for were already filled, in fact, they were actually laying off some of the junior executives and asking the senior ones to retire early. But Burroughs heard Hugh speak. quotYou know, son, you have a good speaking voice. How would you like a job in radio Well be working in L. A. starting in a couple of days. You dont even need to audition. Ill use the paperwork here to get you onto the station. quot So Burroughs gave Hugh the information of where to go. The radio station was KHJ. It was located next door to a Cadillac dealership owned by Don Lee, who was the Cadillac dealer for the entire West Coast. Hugh wore his best suit. It was the man he was going to interview at the Signal office in Long Beach who let him into the studio. quotNow, just so you know, Hugh, quot said Burroughts, quotlet me explain how radio works. I am the sponsor. I am actually in charge of the program. My company, Signal Petroleum, owns the Tarzan program. Its only 15 minutes and it will be playing only in states where they have Signal service stations. As far as oil companies go, were pretty small. They own the radio program so they can get more customers. KNX and Don Lee, along with CBS, only give us a place to put the show on. And, if someone goofs, they punish us. So we have to do a good show. quot Hugh was scared when he read the script. They let him go over it alone for about 45 minutes. Then they went on. There would be many more programs for Hugh, although he would rarely use his name while announcing. He did so well for Tarzan at KHJ they hired him for work at KNX, and KFIKECA (the two NBC stations were both owned by Earle C. Anthony). Occasionally, he would give his name, but that was so rare. His voice became the voice of Oscar as he was the announcer for the Academy Awards, no matter where they were held, and no matter if they were a banquet or a formal awards ceremony. After Academy Award show, Hugh continued as a staff announcer at KNX and for many CBS shows produced at Columbia Square. In 1957, he became the sole newsperson at radio station KDAY in Santa Monica. In 1965, Gene Autry had purchased radio station KMPC and TV station KTLA. He chose Hugh to be both stations news director. He was heard on KMPC during weekday afternoons and seen on KTLA at night.
