Bob Smith grew up in New Jersey and listened to his radio heroes broadcasting from across the river in New York... He went on to become one of the top radio talents in America...Plus a TV personality and even a movie star... Who can go back and still hear the Wolfman howling late at night as his signal can barreling into the US from across the vborder...

Bob called many LA radio stations home during his radio career... He is best known for hanging at KRLA in Pasadena... Later he teamed with a TV comedy writer and their comedy act ("Hudson and Landry") scored with fans everywhere...Who doesn't like "Ajax Liquor Store"... Emperor Bob Hudson, a royal LA radio talent...

He was an LA boy through and through... Don grew up right there and attended Hollywood High... First it was a stint at the Don Martin School of Broadcasting and then stations in Washington state, Omaha, Portland San Francisco and then back to his roots in LA at KHJ... The linked aircheck gets you an inside peek at Don and his humility and caring for his listeners...Great air talent...better human being...

A top jock at BOSS Radio and then several other stations in LA... In arrived mid year in '79 at KMPC... Here is a GOLDEN moment from his KMPC gig where he talked a whole lot about sports...

Jay Paul had a "one of a kind" style that stood out from all the other local LA newscasters on radio... When I worked at KHJ-TV I saw Jay roam the building many times meeting and greeting up with employees here and there...Warm and caring, Jay Paul knew how to deliver the news on KHJ... Here is a full 20/20 newscast with J Paul at the helm...KHJ had a stunning news operation (you'll hear that right now) headed by the able Art Kevin... Put your mind back in the right mode...It's 2/69!

It's still TBA...

Harvey Miller is a KHJ BOSS jock who delivers everything with a vocal punch in the ears... Total radio pro who communicates will all across the other side of the radio speaker...But, his life could also be made into a movie...Lots of drama...

Back in '86 Jay Thomas arrived at Power 106 in LA...He had been on "Mork and Mindy" and played a hockey player on "Cheers"...But his first love was always radio...This clip has Jay in some hot water with his fan base...Since 2005 Jay has called Sirius/XM his radio home...

As they say, "Under Construction"
