93 KHJ Tribute to Boss Radio

Outstanding work ChuckJPC
YOU are the link to our music past.
100% feel good memories here.
THANK YOU for ALL of your great posts.
This was the era when radio ruled and the Boss jocks were rock stars themselves.

I grew up with my transistor radio afixed to my bicycle's handlebars tuned to KHJ while cruising all around Santa Monica. I met Sam Riddle while skating at the Ice Chalet... And yes, I think it's gonna be all right... The morning sun is shining like a....

...red rubber ball!

Didn't one of the bossjocks commit a crime or something? Was it Humble Harv?

Humble Harv (formerly of KBLA) shot his wife after years of her tormenting him. He returned to air after a couple of years of prison.

This Is ANDY BARBER KJSR/Tulsa I was in LA waiting for Boss Radio in 1965 I was 18...My Dad knew RKO Prez so I was hip to the change, so, Boss Radio is my FAV!! (The Real Don Steele will Always be My HERO!!!)

Tina Delgado is alive...alive!

by 1967 or 1968 -- lets just say after sgt.pepper. people no longer appreciated the disk jockeys talking over the beginnings of the songs. f.m. came and killed all that.

Oh yeah. I grew up on this. KHJ was my gateway to FM and stations like KLOS and KMET.

The genius of Bill Drake and the talents of the KHJ Boss Jocks completley turned L.A radio on its ear in 1965 and brought great radio,jingles and personalities to sister station KFRC,San Francisco,WRKO,Boston Cklw,Detroit,WHBQ,Memphis and WOR FM in New York as well as numerous fake Drakes all over the country In the late sixties,Ladies and gentlemen The Beat Goes On!!!!Long Live Boss Radio...
