Word this morning that John Mack Flanagan (KTKT, KRUX, KFRC, KCBS-FM, KRQR, KWSS) passed away last night. He'd been in ill health for more than a year and was initially given only two weeks to live. He was at KFRC from 1973-79. Flanagan's last radio gig was a Sunday Beatles show on the short-lived revival of KFRC on 106.9 FM in 2007.

Semoochie: You did. John was a fairly active participant on KFRC threads in the San Francisco board ten or 11 years ago.

Michael you forgot to list KHJ in 1975 as well?
Hot Hits: He did two weekend shifts on an emergency fill-in, while an employee of KFRC. I wouldn't list it if it were my resume', but I know JMF was extremely proud of it.
Was one of those fantastic 70's-style jocks with the pacing and timing that was so incredibly important for top40's in that era. Plus, simply a great radio name! (I've got old airchecks somewhere!). RIP.
Thank you, Michael. I'm impressed that you remember a conversation I had with someone else over a decade ago!
Semoochie: Actually, I went back and re-read the thread a few months ago, after buying John's book.
