  • This type of radio died around early to mid 90's when corporate began worrying more about saving money and less on product. Plus monopolies hurt it and the blessing and curse of Voice Tracking computer softwear that makes it to easy for a dj to record talk breaks over and out of songs as if live. They can do it & ship their voice tracks to radio stations in other parts of the US. It saves money because you don't have to hire a dj you just pay the one you have a lil xtra $ to track another city

  • They've played Roundabout-Yes and Family Affair-Sly and the Family and Bj Thomas in the same commercial radio station!!! 

  • An amazing talent ... to this day.

  • I was in High school when Gary Kelly was a DJ at KSEA-FM, San Diego. We were the same age. He also was DJ at KFMB FM and I was Pgm Dir Asst for KFMB-TV.

  • I was a listener while he was on the air at KGB, KCBQ. I was hired by KFMB-TV on Feb 1978. Privileged to have been his co-worker...even though I was Film/Tape Supervisor for KFMB-TV Channel 8 side...while he rocked the House on the Radio side of the building. Genuine in person. I miss that where DJ's were real, and, unfortunately, I saw those Corporate changes to FM Radio begin to occur in 1979. KFMB-AM 76 had DJ's w/music until 1991. The Format changed to Talk Radio due to war at Iraq.

  • At 5:32, SGun's reading a live Toyota spot...reminds me of a time in LA on KMET, when Peter Bergman of Firesign Theater was reading a Toyota spot and ended it with his own previously recorded "jingle" that sounded just like the official Toyota jingle that went "Get your hands on a Toyota and you'll never let go!" But Peter's "jingle" was: "Get your hands up the dress of a Toyota and you'll never let gol" Toyota was not amused and cancelled the contract. KMET cancelled Peter.

  • I remember him doing the KUSI Kids Club back on the 80's here in San Diego.

  • Wow, the freeways and roads are in such pristine condition. what happened?

  • Boy do I miss the days of cueing records.....Take a call,grab a soda take a pee and be back for your break all in 2:32 seconds....Those were the days
