Not a big deal but the producers of"Newsradio" also spent some time atKFWB. I'm not sure, but I think theyalso took a look at WINS in New York.

Michael Jackson BiasedFirst, congratulations on turning out

an interesting, informative little maga-zine in an area where nothing existed.We who still use our ears for more thanholding up our glasses thank you.

A couple of small objections. ThomLooney characterizes local talk showhosts as "right-wing wackos" and "lib-erals." Why not even it up with "con-servatives" on one hand, or "left-winggoofballs" on the other?

A page earlier Michael Jackson iscalled "polite and even-handed." Even-handed? Have you ever heard him takeoff on Ronald Reagan, Richard Nixon,or his colleagues Bruce Herschensohnor Dennis Prager? Never, it should benoted, face to face. If KABC's Michael

Jackson is even-handed, the otherMichael Jackson is Mr. Macho.

Gary Brandner of NorthridgeKudos to KOGO 600

Great magazine! I have one com-plaint; it doesn't have my favorite sta-tion, KOGO. True, they don't broad-cast out of L.A., but they're by far thebest talk radio station!

Wynton Marsalis, AlfreWoodward and Carl Weathers are someof the guest narrators. The show also fea-tures the music of Duke Ellington.

Dr. George BrothersBY RICHARD WAGONER

In the fast-growing Riverside/SanBernardino region, where rising levels ofcrime and smog parallel the rapid pace ofeconomic growth, a former KIIS jockcalled "Hollywood" has lifted the spirit ofthe Inland Empire. This Nv h olesom e

Bubba Da Skitso

entertainer has endeared himself to folkswith conventional values living withinearshot of America's capitol of glitz andglamour.

"Sean found a community that lackeda presence - lacked a star to stand upfor the community," said Dave Presher,

amilton's Hollywood Sty

Shines Over Inland Empireij

Hollywood with daughter Taylor

KGGI former general manager. "He repre-sents the area and has quickly become apart of the Riverside/San Bernardinoarea."

Along with his "posse" of five, Sean"Hollywood Hamilton" has devised amorning show that is bilingual, lacks neg-ative shock -jock schtick and rewards fam-ily togetherness. The show draws a largefollowing in a region who's million -pluspopulation is more than a quarter latino.

The KGGI jock earned his nicknameas a DJ in New York, where his bossteased him about his wardrobe.

"I would always be wearing sunglass-es, trendy clothes," explained Hamilton."Scott [former Z-100 program director]thought I was trying to look like a


Hollywood movie star, so it washe that began calling me'Hollywood.-

Yet something aboutHollywood suggests a DJ inexile. One industry source saysthat he was dropped from hisL.A. gig because of his overidentification with rap music.Far from looking like a guy whoespouses cop -killer music,Hollywood projects the imageof the boy next door. Hamiltonsays it was a tempting TV offerthat drew him away from KIISand L.A.

"I did a 13 -episode pilot forViacom based on a nightclubact I had originated while atKIIS," Sean "Hollywood"Hamilton said. "Then, beforetesting was completed, Viacommerged with Paramount, and atleast 10 projects were canceled.My show was one of them."

His TV career dive led his nose backto KIIS, where he had been the star ofthe evening show at L.A.'s No.1 hit musicstation for six years.

"I knew that KIIS was looking for anafternoon jock, so I approached [Gannettnational programmer] GerryDeFrancesco about that position,"

Hollywood gets tough with Dr. ZodiacHamilton said. "He took me aside andsaid, 'I can give you afternoons; but if Iwere you, I would consider kicking off amorning show career.-

So what's Hamilton doing in the shad-ow of L.A., working at KGGI 99.1 FM inRiverside?

"Doing what I swore I'd never do,"Hamilton said of his morning shift. "Idreaded the thought of waking up earlyevery morning," he said. "But I'm sothankful now that I took Gerry's advice. Ishould have done this years ago."

Almost all of Los Angeles' many radiostations broadcast into the neighboringSan Bernardino/Riverside counties,which comprise the nation's No. 28 mar-ket. With KGGI's transmitter located onHeap's Peak in the San Bernardinomountains - at a height of 7,000 feet,making it one of the highest transmittersin Southern California - KGGI can beheard by nearly every programmer in LosAngeles. That is precisely the reason hechose to take his show there. To chal-lenge the mighty No. 2 market fromanother city is one thing, to do it in L.A.'sown back yard is quite another.

"We set our sights on Dees and Markand Brian," Hamilton said. "We wantedto be the best."

Samantha SantiagoLos Angeles Radio Guide - 15

The JimsterTo make his strategy work, he had to

knock out the L.A. competition in theInland Empire's ratings game.

When he signed on, KGG1 was stuckin eighth place. Local personalities JanJeffrey of KFRG and Stu and Tiffany ofKCAL -FM were beating KGG1, in additionto L.A. talents Bill Handel (KFI), Markand Brian (KLOS), Rick Dees (KIIS),Howard Stern (KLSX) and Kevin andBean (KROQJ.

Within a year, Hollywood and hissidekicks moved up from eighth to thirdin the Inland Empire's ratings, closing inon country station. KFRG, the market'sleader.

Hamilton wants Dees' job at KIIS."Oh yes, I am going after Rick Dees,"

he declared of his radio mentor.To knock out the venerable Dees, he

plans to corral his "posse" and lead themright through the Cahuenga Pass toBurbank and into the studios of KIIS.What are his chances? KIIS station man-ager Roy Laughlin's lips are sealed tighton the topic.

The inland "Posse" is made up of side-kick/executive producer SamanthaSantiago, "psychological gynecologist"and moral leader Dr. George Brothers, the

multi -talented Bubba Da Skitzo and anengineer known only as The Jimster.

Brothers refers to their style as "familyradio with an edge."

"The Inland Empire is very family -ori-ented," Brothers explained. "And ourshow reflects that."

Hamilton has known Brothers since1983, when they worked together at Z-100 in New York.

"George was my producer at the time,"Hamilton said. "One night he dropped anentire stack of tapes while I was on theair, causing me to yell, 'What are youdoing? Can't you see I'm doing my radioshow? To which Brothers replied, 'Don'tyell at me, mister.' "

Z-100 programmer Scott Shannonliked the fighting so much that he teamedup the two permanently. The duo hasbeen together since.

"Then, as now, George was to act asthe moral figure to keep me in line,"Hamilton declared.

His producer also has stuck by herpartner. Santiago was Hamilton's produc-er back in his days at KIIS and hadhelped with the Viacom television pilot.

Bubba and Jim are relative newcomersto the family, although Bubba andHamilton have known each other for along time. Hamilton recruited Bubba fromNew York; and Jim was one of the engi-neers on the Viacom pilot.

The morning show features atleast 20 "bits" each week,ranging from "RouletteKaraoke" to the controver-sial "Bait Your Mate." A

caller who wants the Posse to prove hisor her mate is cheating eavesdrops whileSantiago (Candy) or Hamilton baits thesignificant other with an offer for a date.

"You'd be surprised how many people- especially men - take the bait,"Hamilton said.

And every morning a mysterious 89 -year -old Japanese man known only as Dr.Zodiac gives astrology readings, whichare reportedly accurate.

In "Parnell Williams GangsterpieceTheatre" Bubba explains and translatesgangsta rap as if he were Alistair Cooke

With degrees in psychology and gyne-cology, the Cuban -born Brothers is bilin-


gual, while Bubba contributes commentsin 12 languages and imitates accentsfrom around the globe.

"This is the first truly bilingual morn-ing program in the United States - possi-bly the world," Hamilton proudly pro-claimed.

One of the ongoing gags on the pro-gram revolves around Brother's correc-tions of gringo Hamilton's continued mis-pronunciation of Spanish words andLatino names.

In spite of all the comedy, Hamiltonmanages to squeeze in six to seven songseach hour.

"The plan was always to use KGGI asa training ground -a triple A farm camp- so that we could take our show intoLos Angeles or New York," the 35 -yearold said. "Our contract was written withthe understanding that we will eventuallymove to the majors."

Surprisingly, KGGI management notonly condones, but encourages Hamiltonto work toward his goal.

"I'd have a problem if he didn't wantto work in Los Angeles," programmerCarmy Ferreri said. "I mean, if he didn't,how hard would he want to work?"

And work he does. He begins each dayat 3:30 a.m, arriving at the station forpreproduction preparations at 4:30 a.m.His show runs from 5:30 until 10 a.m.,after which he and the Posse work anoth-er hour on the next day's show. In theafternoon they go out into the communityto meet with the public and local busi-nesses.

"I consider him the Jerry Seinfeld ofradio," Presher said. "He is a man ofmany talents; and I am proud to havehim on my team."

Seinfeld or no, Hamilton seems tohave been destined to be an entertainerfrom the getgo.

At 15, he began his career with abroadcast from the closet in his bedroomvia a ham radio outfit connected to aturntable.

"On a clear day, I spoke to about 12people," he recalled. That is, until theFCC shut down his station.

After a brief stint in Reno, Nev., theprecocious broadcaster landed a job atY107 in Long Branch, N.J., a station with -

Staffers Paul Schafer and Claudia Perezin earshot of Shannon at New York's top -rated Z-100. Impressed by what heheard, Shannon followed the young jock'scareer as he moved on to a gig in Florida.From there, Shannon brought his wonderboy to electrify New York's evenings withhis high energy delivery of the hits. At age21, the young jock had made it to thebiggest station in the number one market.

In every market where Hamilton hasworked, he has earned a reputation formischief.

In Reno he was arrested while on theair on a charge of unpaid parking tickets.

"The cops just busted in and hauledme away during my show," he recalled.

One night as he was leaving a stationin New Jersey a listener shot at him.

"He thought I was seeing his wife."In New York, he got smacked in the

head in a bar in New York - by a ceil-ing fan.

"I was doing a Michael Jackson moon -walk and didn't see it."

Police chased him after he staged anillegal parachute jump from the top of theTexaco building in Universal City - itstallest building.

"After the listener and our former pro-motions director made the jump. we justgrabbed the parachutes and ran," herecalled.

He tried to land a job at WNBC/NewYork by sending a woman to deliver histape and resume taped to her breasts.

"It didn't work." he said.

Local Hosts Resist RaleRight9

s Aerial AssaultBY JASON BORGE

Even before the recent Oklahoma Citybombing, Southland liberal and conserv-atives were trading barbs over responsi-bility in radio broadcasting. The liberalsaccused conservatives of race -baiting,fomenting right-wing terrorism and gen-eral demagoguery. Conservatives, fortheir part, accused liberals of moral laxi-ty and of overreacting to the sometimesincendiary words of hosts like G. GordonLiddy.

Yet as the national debate has latelyreached a strident pitch. local hosts havelargely stayed clear of the party -line bait-ing and blustering that typify the syndi-cated talk shows, such as RushLimbaugh, 011ie North, Michael Reaganand G. Gordon Liddy. In fact, amongthese hosts, only Rush has a local berth,the remainder arc heard on San Diego'sKOGO 600 AM, which comes in strongin greater L.A.

Take KABC 790 AM's Larry Elder.It's not just the fact that Elder, whose

Larry Elder

local talk show airs weeknights from 8p.m. to I1 p.m.. is a black conservativethat makes his approach rare and fresh.It's that neither his race nor his ideologyare immediately apparent in his jabs andjibes with listeners: Category is clearlynot something to which Elder kowtows.At one point during the show, a self -described liberal white listener fromGlendale complains about reverse dis-crimination. He gets sympathy fromElder.

A few minutes later. Elder smells para-noia in the comments of a Northridge lis-tener, who draws an unconvincing con-nection between the government, WallStreet and "truckloads" of illegal immi-grants.

"Wait," Elder interrupted. "lust who inthe government is flooding the countrywith immigrants?"

Despite such seemingly contradictorypolitics - fiscally right-wing, sociallysomewhere between left and center -Elder is by no means ambivalent in hisoverall ideology. He clearly spells out hisviews for listeners nearly every night. Hisstrongly independent takes on a varietyof issues, from U.S. trade policy to localpolitics. fit right in on the L.A. airwaves.

Elder is one of a number of new hostswho have recently given SouthernCalifornia a new type of talk. Candid,provocative. contrarian: It is just suchiconoclasm -a studied evasion of politi-cal orthodoxy - that characterizes talkradio in Los Angeles, and what help setsit apart from the more obvious partisan-ship of some popular national shows.

Of course, talk radio in the Southlandpredates the syndicated gab of RushLimbaugh and Howard Stern.

A colleague of Elder at KABC. thevenerable Michael Jackson, has been


Tom Leykishosting his morning show here for nearly30 years.

Although generally known as a liberal,Jackson is neither a party spokespersonnor does he convey the pure politicalanimus of some of his competitors. Hecovers a number of topics on his show -some lighter than others - and seemsproud of the balance and civility of hisinterchange with guests and listeners.

"I cover all the points of view." hesaid. "My job is to enlighten, inform andentertain. Put that all together, and thatmeans hospitality. I try very hard tomake sure I don't get the last word."

It is the contentiousness of manynewer radio talk shows, especially oneswith a righ-wing slant, according toJackson, that corrodes an otherwisehealthy public discourse.

Asked about his morning rival. RushLimbaugh (whose show is carried by KFI640 AM), Jackson mixes suspicion withappreciation. On one hand, he can't helpbut respect Limbaugh, whom he calls "anexcellent broadcaster." The fact thatLimbaugh has helped the ratings of talkshows across the political spectrum isnot lost on Jackson.

"I think he makes one hell of a chal-lenge for me." he said. "He has made me20 - Los Angeles Radio Guide

work harder than ever."On the other hand, Jackson senses a

disingenuousness in his competitor."If liberalism were in, he'd be with it,"

the KABC veteran broadcaster said. "Idon't know; but that's my feeling."

What is more, the breadth ofLimbaugh's appeal, in Jackson's opinion,keeps him from making any specialimpact on Los Angeles - a defect thathas less to do with creed than size.

"He's Johnny one -note," Jackson said."He can't cover what's going on in L.A.We're a country - L.A. The audience outhere is too good. This is a saavy commu-nity that is in the vanguard of manythings."

But, according to Tom Leykis ofWestwood One, whose nationally -syndi-cated show is carried on KMPC-AM 710from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. on weekdays, andwho broadcasts from Los Angeles, whatseparates the L.A. audience from the restof the country is sense of humor androotlessness, not saavy. To Leykis,Angelenos are less politicized becausethey often have only a vague sense ofidentity with their community.

"People are more interested in politicsif they're from a place," Leykis said. "Theproblem is that Los Angeles is actuallymany cities. People don't think twiceabout moving from West L.A. to BeverlyHills. I've talked to people in L.A. whodon't know what city they live in."

By the same token, Leykis noted, hisL.A. listeners add a levity to his showthat complements the serious, sometimesgrim, partisanship of his non-L.A. audi-ence. Although Leykis' listeners tend tobe liberal, he has noticed a similar ten-dency among conservative talk shows,which are likely to ignore the moreambiguous and quirky major metropolit-ian areas for the fundamentalism of thehinterlands.

"The syndicated shows tend to beone-dimensional," Leykis said. "[Theyalso] tend to be hard -right conservatives.If you're programming in L.A., the showscan afford to have more of a variety."

Although Elder's complexity contraststhe syndicated "one-dimensional" hosts,sometimes he goes farther right. TheGOP's Contract with America doesn't gonearly far enough for his taste. He thinksgovernment should get entirely out ofhealthcare. that the welfare systemshould be abolished, and that a flat taxsystem should replace the existing one.He also routinely defends the Reaganlegacy at the expense of Bush andClinton.

Not surprisingly, Elder believes thatmost liberals have overstated the dangersof the so-called radical right.

"Liberals recognize that conservativeshave exposed the weaknesses of theirarguments," Elder said. "And thereforeare legitimately concerned."

Warren Olney. whose issues -relatedshow "Which 1,Vay, LA?" airs twice dailytwice during the week (1 p.m. to 2 p.m.and 7 p.m. to 8 p.m.) on public radio sta-tion KCRW-89.9 FM. disagreed. Olney.once a fixture on L.A. television, believesconservatives' claim to minority status inthe broadcast media is dubious.

"I think the left gets left out muchmore than the right," he said. "Thisnotion that the media are rabid leftists isnonsense."

Then there are those local hosts, like

Michael Jackson interviews Janet Reno

John & KenJohn Kobylt (half of weekday after-

noons' stalwart "John and Ken" show),who try to distance themselves from nuts -and -bolts politics as much as possible.

"Too many of the talk shows want tosave the world," Kobylt said. "If I can'tfigure out how [politics] affects my life,it's not worth it. The content of the show,if we're doing our job right. should reflectwhat's going on at the dinner table. Mostpeople don't read the Wall Streetournal."

If there is one thing about which mostlocal hosts - left, right. center or other-wise - agree. it's that talk radio is not aslethal a weapon as many critics. includ-ing President Clinton. have lately made itout to be. From Michael Jackson toGeorge Putnam, the consensus is thatradio does a great deal more good thanharm.

In the view of KABC's Gloria Allred(weekday afternoons from 3 p.m.to 6p.m.), talk radio is not dangerous at all.She called it "essential to democracy."

"Talk radio is one way that [people's]voices can be heard. Television encour-ages passivity," she asserted. "Radioencourages activity and involvement."

While conceding that there is anincendiary language coming from both -


KFI's

George Putnamsides of the political spectrum, LarryElder says no host - nor any movieexecutive, for that matter - is a revolu-tionary unto himself.

"I think talk radio has had virtually norole with creating an atmosphere ofanger and violence," he said. "The rea-son people misbehave has to do withpoor parenting, not whether you saw'Braveheart' and decided to get a swordand slay people."

KOGO 600 AM host and programdirector Peter Weissbach agreed.

"I think if you believe that people arenot responsible for their own actions,then talk radio is as dangerous as rapmusic," said Weissbach, whose conserv-ative show airs daily from 3 to 6 p.m."[But] if we followed through on that lineof reasoning, we'd have to abandon ourFirst Amendment rights."

KOGO, which is based in San Diego,carries the G. Gordon Liddy, MichaelReagan and Oliver North shows.

All the hosts interviewed acknowl-edged that at some point they must drawa line of responsibility if radio is to thriveas an aid to the democratic process.

Syndicated right-wing host G. Gordon

Liddy, they said, has crossed that line.Liddy, whose show was recently droppedby San Bernardino's KCKC 1350 AM inresponse to widespread criticism in wakeof the bombing of the Federal Building inOklahoma City, has in the past urged lis-teners to aim for the head of agents ofthe Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco andFirearms who threaten them, since ATFagents wear bulletproof vests.

KCKC General Manager Bill McNultyis confident of his decision and has noplans to pick up Liddy in the future.

"Initially, there was was uproar from asmall but vocal audience," McNulty said.

But within two days, the response was90 percent in favor of his action. MichaelJackson called Liddy "an irresponsibleman," but he doesn't stop there.

"Nationwide, most [conservativehosts] do a disservice to the honorablename of conservatives," Jackson said."They have one priority: a scramble forratings."

According to Jackson, they're mostlyinterested in bashing incumbency andpromoting a very narrow set of issues.

"We're battling against a stampedingherd at the moment," he said. "I think

warren Olnev22- Los Angeles Radio Guide

self -promotion is their raison d'etre."KCRW's Warren Olney thinks the use-

fulness - or danger - of aired opiniondepends on how the debate is couched.

"There is a legitimate concern that[some shows] legitimize people whoought to be anathema," he said."Sometimes it can be illuminating to hearfrom people. [But] a lot of baiting goeson on talk radio by the hosts. I think allthat does is harden people's antipathytoward each other on all sides."

Olney, however, is not advocating cen-sorship.

"In a democratic society everyone getsa chance to speak," he said. "I don'tknow why it would be unhealthy to givepeople a chance to vent, as long as thevoice is rational. When people get too faroff base, you have to take them off theair or at least call them on it."

KIEV 870 AM's George Putnam, oftenpegged as a right-wing conservative, isalso against censorship.

"I like the freedom we enjoy," Putnamsaid. "I hope we're not violating ourresponsibility ... I don't agree with G.Gordon Liddy. I think that was a stupidstatement. We never advocate violenceon my show. However, I'm a big believerin the First Amendment."

The dean of L.A. talk show hosts origi-nated his audience feedback format ontelevision in New York in 1948 with aprogram called "Audience Clues."

Putnam, who has interviewed everyU.S. president from Hoover to Bush,recalled his early years as a supporter ofMinnesota's Farm Labor Party and laterthe Socialist Party U.S.A. headed by

`I think the left ge'Rleft out much more

than the right.KCRW'sWarren Olney

Gloria AllredNorman Thomas. Putnam is a lifelongDemocrat, one who idolized PresidentFranklin Roosevelt.

"We were hungry back in theDepression," he said. "You can't imaginewhat it was like to go through what wesuffered."

A long career in journalism has ledPutnam to place the highest value on theintegrity of the leader in question, notthe politics. He finds President Clintonopportunistic and one who will say onething at one moment and later turn 180degrees around.

Although Putnam has been closelyidentified with nominally conservativecauses such as Propositions 13 and 187;when he talks about them, the issuessound more populist than right-wing.

"I don't think you should have anofficial language, but it's the glue thatholds the country together," said theKIEV host who's a member of theNAACP and the Urban League. "Thinkhow restrictive it is to our offspring tosay you're Vietnamese, rather thanAmerican. Who profits from divisive-ness? The demagogues!"

A Recollection of Talk Radio's Origins in L.A.BY V. ROBERT VANS

Talk radio began in Los Angeles andhas always been political. But myths getstarted. One myth is that talk radio beganat KLAC AM 570. Another myth is thatRush Limbaugh is the father of conserva-tive rabble -rousing on telephone talkshows.

In 1960 it took a brave young stationmanager, Ben Hoberman at KABC, tototally change formats and to inventsomething he named "talk -radio." Asmanager of an ABC Network -owned -and -operated station, Hoberman was obligat-ed to network headquarters in New York.Make mistakes and you're fired!

Hoberman made no mistakes. KABCwas the first to adopt the 24 -hour talk -radio format, and it is still going strong.Admittedly, he had a top staff with GeorgeGreen as sales manager and Jack Myersin charge of programming.

"In those days you had to do some-thing that separated your station from thepack." recalled Hoberman.

He admits to being surprised by talkradio's phenomenal success. Originally,he wanted to attract a small but demo-graphically desirable audience, whichwould appeal to advertisers looking toreach a different kind of radio listener.

Beginning with a half-hour call -in showcalled "Open Line" hosted by staffannouncer Reed Browning. Hobermanstarted adding more talk shows to the line-up. Between October 1960 and early 1961KABC was transformed from a music sta-tion into "The Conversation Station." Someof the early stars of the new talk formatwere: Myron J. Bennett. Wendell Noble,Paul Condylis,sports -talker JimHealy andPamela Mason(wife of actorJames Mason).Telephone talkshows werecalled "beeper" shows [It:cause of the peri-odic beep required by the FCC to alertcallers that they were on the air and beingrecorded through the seven -second delay

system used to screen out any indecentremarks.

KLAC was a "middle-of-the-road" for-matted station, when they took on theirfirst talk show host, a conservative by thename of Joe Pyne. KABC had fired Pynefor being too abrasive- he regularlyharassed and insulted his callers in amanner that might embarrass DonRickles. Nevertheless, his show proved aratings bonanza for the otherwise lacklus-ter Metromedia outlet. He single-handed-ly kept the station from falling apart withhis strong ratings. Meantime. KLAC haddifficulty settling on a format.

"This station is being run by a band ofidiots," Pyne said. "They plan on going toa country -western format, and that makesno sense."

After an unsuccessful try atcountry/western music, KLAC bumbledinto unknown waters with an attitudeakin to telling company janitors that onMonday they will he reassigned as rocketscientists. KLAC sent a memo to all DJsstating: "Starting Monday morning. youare all telephone talk show hosts."

The platter spinners struggled to matchPyne's abilities and ratings in the transi-tion to talk. For ex -DI Ray Briem, thechange was a new beginning. Today,Briem admits he was frightened with thenew assignment. Up to that day, spinningbig -band discs had been his entire broad-casting career.

As things became more confused atKLAC and with no firm job offer, Briemquit KLAC. He met with Jack Myers, pro-gram manager of KABC. Briem remarkedthat the station was signing off the air

everynight atmidnight. WithMyers' recom-mendation,Hobermanhired him to fillthe slot from -midnight to 5

a.m. For the next 27 years Briem ownedlate -night Los Angeles radio. He retiredfrom broadcasting last year.

"As of today, not a single midnight26 - Los Angeles Radio Guide

radio show in America is making money,"Briem said. "We always did and raisedadvertising revenue to $1 million annual-ly for my show."

Briem's strong politically conservativestyle attracted a large audience of little oldladies with insomnia. However, unlike JoePyne, he approached the issues of the daywith quiet dignity.

Briem also had a good sense of humor,which increased the entertainment valueof the show. He named a regular caller"Lefty Louise." She was an avowedCommunist, with a voice that sounded asthough she gargled with ground glassbefore calling Briem. She would scream athim, but he was smart enough to playwith her and never shout back.

He was the first to contact Soviet radiospokesman Vladimir Pozner in Moscow.Briem's friendly debates with the Russianbecame a regular feature on the show.

Pozner was typically an apologist forthe Soviet government. On one occasion,he told Briem that the Russians were jus-tified in shooting down the civilianKorean Airlines flight 707.

However, Pozner's conversations withBriem eventually got the Russian fired.One night on Briem's show, he admittedto being opposed to the Soviet invasion ofAfghanistan. Besides all the little oldladies, KGB agents were listening, sealingthe fate of the suave official.

In the battle for ratings, Hoberman

George Green

Ben Hobermanmade smart programming decisions. Atabout the same time conservative Briemstarted taking care of the night, KABChired liberal Michael Jackson for themorning slot. Born in South Africa andeducated in Great Britain, Jackson alsohad a broadcasting background as amusic disc jockey.

With his upper -crust British accent.Jackson gave a voice of authority to hispolitically liberal philosophy. Along withBriem, he lasted more than a quarter cen-tury on the station. Both men have earnedstars on the Hollywood Boulevard Walkof Fame.

Jackson's stature enables him to almostinstantly interview any national politician- liberal or conservative. Although oftenhighly opinionated, he is able to put hisown liberal spin on issues without offend-ing his guests. His reputation has earnedhim a regular stint filling in for Larry Kingon CNN.

KABC has, over the years, combinedreligion and politics on Sunday eveningswith a talk show titled "Religion on theLine." Each program featured threeguests: a Catholic priest, a Jewish rabbiand a Protestant minister.

Although the program related primarilyto cordial religious differences, the guestswere often questioned on political issues.Dennis Prager moderated the show forabout 10 years before becoming a regular


Ray Briemweekday talk host with his own conserva-tive bent on KABC.

KLAC could not compete with KABCand soon dropped its talk format. When itcame to talk, no one even came close toKABC. KGIL in the San Fernando Valleytried but gave up and eventually switchedto adult standards. KNX offered lots oftalk programs but eventually went with anews format.

In the early days of radio talk. KIEVwas handicapped as a daylight -only sta-tion with limited power. It later went 24 -hours, and a few years later increased itspower output. George Putnam has beenon KIEV for many years, and his ultracon-servative politics has attracted a faithfulfollowing. Putnam's TV newscast stylewas parodied on "Mary Tyler MooreShow." He has always maintained thesame style on KIEV.

The real bottom line for KABC's suc-cess through the years has been superbmanagement. Hoberman was so success-ful in Los Angeles that he was promotedto president of all ABC -owned -and -operat-ed stations in New York. Other ABC sta-tions were eventually modeled after thesuccess of KABC, such as KGO in SanFrancisco and WABC in New York. theflagship station for Rush Limbaugh'sshow. Hoberman eventually pioneeredABC's satelite "Talk Radio" format in theearly '80s, delivering KABC's stars such asMichael Jackson to stations all around thecountry. George Green was moved up

from sales manager to the top manage-ment spot in Los Angeles. He holds thatposition today.

Green has continued Hoberman's suc-cess. For one thing, both understood thatwhile top ratings arc essential, demo-graphics were almost equally important.Originally, all KABC's talk shows wereaimed at an older audience, as they aretoday. Ray Briem's program virtuallybecame a show for senior citizens, withregular guests such as big band artistArtie Shaw and guitarist Les Paul.

Politics and demographics go together.Recently, the corporate owners of KABCpurchased struggling KMPC. Green tookon the task of managing an additional talkstation. But, in listening to both outlets, it'sobvious he didn't want to compete withhimself.

With talk hosts such as Joe Crummeyand Tom Leykis, Green obviously is tryingto bring talk radio to a younger audience.Leykis' hooting and hollering would giveheadaches to senior citizens, but appealsto a younger age group.

The success of radio talk in L.A. clearlyrests with KABC.

Down Road to Success1)' ROBIN 81-1K/il 1.CON031//

It sounds like a remarkable story thatother radio talk show hosts could bandyabout for at least two segments straight.Something like the -truth -is -stranger -than -fiction plot for a movie on the silverscreen. Almost a little too crazy to bebelieve, but it's true.

This story is about this outrageouslytalented corporate guy. Let's call him DickKazan. He's super smart - a self-mademultimillionaire. One day he goes shop-ping around the country for radio sta-tions. See. the cost for radio propertieshad just dropped to 1975 prices. Egad!We're talking real bargains here - nearlytoo good to pass up.

Well, it just so happens that this Kazanguy knows a few million things aboutspotting a good deal when he sees one.He goes around and introduces himself tothe fun -loving radio crowd just to seewhat's really happening in that scene.

There's an instant connection. Thebusinessman has a change of his busi-ness -size heart. Goodbye, dreary adultdreams. So long, suit -and -tic shareholders.

Kazan has found a spot in front of themike. His radio program, "The Road toSuccess" on KMPC 710 AM Sundaymornings from 8 a.m to 11 a.m., is theanswer to every new business owner'sdream. This talk show host has the mindof a corporate wizard. He's able to leapthe biggest biz -building questions in asingle bound. If his magic voice doesn'tdissolve those nagging doubts about thecorporate environment, his sharp focuson business matters will clear up anyworries.

Both new and established businessowners ride the wake that Kazan cutsthrough the airwaves. His audience isabout half men and half women and fallsin the age range of late 20s to early 40s.All eventually get acquainted with aguiding philosophy that encourages posi-tive thinking, high standards of integrityand clarity of vision.

Kazan recalled the wisdom of HenryFord: "Whether you think you can or youthink you can't, you're right."

Listeners wait nonstop to ask for

Dick KazanKazan's advice about specific matters.According to Kazan, the topics centeraround the real -life problems that peopleare having at work. He deals with person-al issues too, like whether to lease or buya car, whether to rent or own a house.

Besides providing practical informa-tion, he also aims tough questions atsome of the country's most experiencedbusiness leaders. The compelling storiesthat are shared on "The Road to Success"include informative anecdotes from chiefexecutive officers of major corporations,small businesse entrepreneurs. motionpicture moguls and plenty of other brainsworth picking.

But it's Kazan himself who providesthe constant inspiration and the assur-ance to radio listeners well on their ownway down his road. His career began 22years ago, when he started his own com-pany as a one-man operation. It turnedinto one of the nation's largest computerleasing firms, employing 300 people andserving the needs of many Fortune 500companies.

"I remind listeners often that the bestbusiness ideas are simple." he said.

It's understanding the need for sim-plicity that enables Kazan to help his lis-teners put their ideas into motion.

You begin by going somewhere likethe Botanical Gardens and putting yourideas into writing. These pages will formthe basis for your business plan. First.you have to believe; then, commit your-self to action. And you will sec successcome along.

The Loco Point of ViewBY THOM LOONEYIt's a national nightmare, and nobody is

talking about it. They'e swarming over theborder, and there's nothing Pete Wilsoncan do about it. Talk radio and full -serviceradio have migrated to FM -land.

Talk has had nowhere to go but to FM.(Would you want to live in AM?) For allintents and purposes, people under 40don't even know AM exists If I everdrive a friend's car who is under 40, theirAM buttons aren't even preprogramed. Ialways push my friends' buttons.Anytime I rent a car, the AM buttons arenever ever pre- progammed. A womanabout 25 overheard Joe Crummey (710Talk) blasting from my speakers (I hadthe top down, of course).

She shouted, "What station is that?That sounds interesting!"

I blurted, "That's Joe Crummey on 710 -Talk, the new talk station."

She barked, "Oh, goodness me! That'sAM, isn't it?"

I retorted, " Why, yes, it is. And awonderful new snappy station it is!"

She recoiled and snarled, "I don't do AM."

With baby boomers and Gen X-ers fail-ing to acknowledge the existance of AM,talk has had no choice but to invade FMlike Ebola. Many of America's mostfamous claptrappers arc invading FM.Tom Leykis, Howard Stem, Mark andBrian. Greaseman and the FabulousSports Babe are all yap, yap, yappingaway on FM.

If you hop in your car at night and hitFM (which used to be cloned with "moremusic, less talk" formats all up and downthe dial just a few years ago) you'll findthe following:

Punch up 102.7 KIIS-FM : Desperateand Dateless: KIIS-FM used to be amusic machine. Now they squeeze in asong every once in a blue moon whileDomino hosts a dating game for kiddies.(I sure hope they're in tape-delay,because the most commonly asked ques-tion is: "So, what do you like to do on adate?" I wait every night for somebody toanswer truthfully.

95.5 KLOS-FM: The Greaseman: Just afew years ago on FM rock stations, pro-

gram directorsused to tellDJs, "If youwant to dosomethingfunny, keepthe bit under20 seconds."

Well, timesthey are atalkin.' On mod-em rockerKLOS-FM. theGreaseman isdoing what hedoes best -talking!

103.5 KOST-FM: They're THOM LOONEY

still playing music at night, but they do alot of dedications, which means the DJ

has to talk a lot.107.1 KMAX-FM: The Sports -Gods:

Cheap rip-off of Beavis & Butthead. It'ssports. It's talk. It's FM. (I can't saythey're morons because I listen everynight!)

These last four examples are just repre-Stern

live from New York from 3 a.m. until 6a.m., then rebroadcast from 6 a.m. untilhe's done yacking (which is sometimesafter 11 a.m), that means that 97.1 KLSX"where everyday is a no repeat day," theyonly really have to cruise about 9 to 10hours without repeating a song. (Is thatso special?) Lets add this up: eight hoursof Howard, two hours of commercialsand traffic and three hours of Jim Ladd.who has to give you the omniscient, elab-orate history of the song "Freebird" (asthough you hadn't heard it before).

The interesting thing here is - or thefrightening thing, depending on your per-spective - all this talking isn't alwaysbeing done on talk -formatted stations.Talk is moving up and down the FM dial:public radio, religious radio. Top-40/CHRradio, rock radio and sports radio. Thesetalkers are taking over FM - or should Isay, "These talkers are talking over."Little did we know the domino theorywould have to do with the spread of talkto FM.

The preceding opinions are Looneyopinions, and that says it all.
