95.7 The Wolf Announces Morning Show

"There is also an on-air personality in New York going by the name.... J.J. Kincaid!"

Don't they say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. It reminds me of the late 60s when every city had to have a Top 40 morning jock named "_______W. Morgan" copying the original Robert W. Morgan in Los Angeles. KYA San Francisco had Roger W. Morgan. It must have really POed the original, who was famous for his bad temper off-mike. Of course, his real name was probably Robert Lipschitz, or something.

"I can "take it or shake it" with country music but I have to admit I have been tuning in "The Wolf" and I do like the energy, I only wish that other stations would get that same energy on the air."

Same here. I find myself drawn to the station because the high energy and enthusiasm is a refreshing break from the boredom of the other music stations. Love the tortured puns, too ("Y'all turnative morning show", etc.). It reminds me of Doctor Don Rose, who would have me groaning in pain as I laughed. Unfortunately, 3 country songs in a row is about my limit.

yeah I do have to admit that they sound good, but I can't take even one song
 
Have y'all noticed that even JoJo now sounds like he's from the south (and I don't mean L.A.), he sounds fresh & young and you can feel that he's getting into it. From the sounds of the air talent you can tell that they put some thought into it, I only wish they played something other than country.

He IS from the South.

OK - we all agree - that settles it. We need to contact Entercom to tell them that the station is great, and they shouldn't change anything except for the music, and they have to change that RIGHT NOW. The radio nerds have spoken! Maybe we can finally get that CHR station that people here have been wanting. "Mix 96" here we come!
 
In response to the first: here you go again, in response to the second: JoJo did not have an southern accent on KFRC but do correct me if I am wrong.
 
"Everything I can find indicates that Robert W. Morgan was born with that name."

Interesting - thanks for the info. There was a DJ named Bob Morgan who was already well known on LA radio when Robert W. hit town in 1965. I've often wondered if that's why he went with "Robert W." If so, it was a great move - much more memorable than "Bob, " or more likely "Bobby" in those days when Top 40 jocks were always "Johnny, " "Jimmy" and "Bobby."

Incidentally - Bob Morgan is still active, and runs an oldies website called "Morgan/O"Hara Live" with Russ O'Hara. http://www.morganoharalive.com/
 
I've used my own real name from the beginning of my radio career at the age of 13. It was my dad's name and he passed it on to me and I've always been proud of it. Never had any desire to take on a "radio" name. Bob Hudson used to call me "Bobby", but only because we were such close friends. Before I got to L.A. I missed out on a couple of medium market gigs because they wanted me to change my name and I refused. Funny thing, very few people have ever confused me with Robert W. Even when we were up against each other in Los Angeles. Maybe because he was always the "cool" one and I have always been the weird one. One Saturday morning when I was at KNRY in Monterey back in '85 he came to the station while he was on vacation and did an hour with me. It was a scream and the only time we were ever on the same station together. Everybody said he could be a holy terror to work with, but we always got along just fine, except for the time I told my KGBS listeners he was my dad. He was really pissed at me for a while but got over it.


Bob Morgan.
 
Hey Bob Morgan,

I grew up in LA in the 60s and 70s, and enjoyed your on-air work - I noticed your handle - KGBS was a great station in that period - Bob Hudson, Ron Landry, Bill Ballance, Dave Hull and yourself. I remember that Al Jazzbeaux Collins was on for a few weeks, too...though I don't think he cared for the pop music, and couldn't seem to master the turntables.

Keep up the great work.
 
Thanks Lew. I gotta tell ya, two of the coolest, hippest guys I worked with at KGBS came from the Bay Area..................Al Collins and the great Bobby Dale. Bobby and I had a lot of laughs (I think I remember being there ;)). Jazzbaux always had a great lady there to help him with the board work. He wasn't real tight, but man was he friendly and so cool to work with. Two of the truly greats of radio, and I was extremely privileged to work with and know them.

Bob.
 
I certainly remember that superb on-air lineup at KGBS in the early seventies, including the late Tom Clay; when you add the air pesonalities who were on the air at both KHJ and KRLA in the early seventies, as well as K-100 in the mid-seventies, it REALLY boggles the mind.

It did appear that there HAD to be an air personality named Robert W. Morgan at TONS of radio ststions from coast to coast as well; I even remember a few columns in BB where there were some personalities (or perhaps just one) who went by the airname of Shadoe W. Diamond, as in Dave Diamond and Shadoe Stevens, which was always worth a chuckle or two.

I certainly remember Dave Hull REALLY being picked on by KHJ's Bobby Rich as 'living in Arcadia and driving a station wagon', and Hull's on-air responses to Rich's needling were just as hysterical.
Rich eventually went on to become a morning radio superstar in Tucson & San Diego.

The ENORMOUS number of radio personalities who worked simultaneously in LA throughout most of the sixties and seventies, and a huge chunk of the eighties still boggles my mind, and even being able to hear Russ O'Hara on the radio these days at oldies KDES 104.7/Palm Springs brings back TONS of memories to this 50+ year resident of LA and radio junkie galore.
 
Country is not my first choice, but I have been listening in the morning. Gill Alexander is more upbeat than I remember, but the real fun is when Eddy/Eddie?? chimes in. The guy doesn't say much, but is funny when he does....Great Energy on this show.
