Art Laboe actually has his own station?

I don't like his show. He always plays horrible music and his callers think they're cool by saying they're own silly nickname. Hope that show gets cancelled.

As irritating as the show may sound to you, it's huge and has been around for eons.
 
Yes Art Laboe owns the radio station KOKO 94.3 and use to own a few more in AZ. Art Laboe does what he wants, because he can...he is in no danger of going broke. He has very deep pockets. After a parting of the ways with Greg Mack and paying him off, those deep pockets kept David Caudillo around for 10 years.

Art Laboes shows don't get cancelled, his listeners really do LOVE him. He may be a crazy old man now, but in his time he changed radio.

Yes that is how Art Laboe made his money early, he also owned alot of property, including a few night clubs in LA...he hasn't made alot of money in radio, if any...well with the exception of his AZ stations (3), i think he sold them for 17mil back in '02.

ALOT of the music (oldies) he plays he owns, he bought the rights (1960) and really invented the compilation album I think he even owns the trade mark "olides but goodies" but I'm not sure.

There are alot of opinions about Art Laboe, as you can see just by a few entries on this thread, but you can't deny his impact.

I interviewed for a sales position at KOKO a while back, never got a chance to meet him or work for him, it's wasn't KOKO back then though, can't recall the call letters but it wasn't KOKO
