LA Radio History Falls To The Ground

2-27-2013

The tower of the once popular KHJ Los Angeles was pulled to the ground yesterday. KHJ-AM, which stood for kindness, happiness and joy, was a very popular Top 40 station before FM came along. The tower was prepped for four days and it took a few seconds to pull it to the ground. You can watch a video of the demolition here on KTLA.

I worked at WRKO, the RKO Boston version of KHJ, in the 70's both as a high school intern, and later as a salesman. Sadly, the RKO programmers like Bill Drake would have forgotten more, than most (though certainly not all) of today's programmers will ever know.The RKO programmers never "gamed the system" with such a pathetic, uncreative approach of today, with 45 minute music sweeps followed by 12-14 commercials in a row, that drives away listeners and shafts the advertisers.
