Bob Crane, who played the lead on TV's Hogan's Heroes, had a highly successful morning radio career at WICC in Bridgeport and KNX in Los Angeles before he became an actor. Crane's nomination is endorsed by WICC, the Connecticut Broadcasting History organization and several of his radio colleagues.

Excellent CT Post article by John Burgeson about Bob Crane's radio work at WICC and KNX. Bob's son, Scott Crane, provided pictures and told how Bob prepared and did his radio show.

I was a fan of Hogan's Heros but more for the ensemble cast than Crane himself. Not having heard him on radio though seems to be a missing link. Any airchecks of Bob at the mic?

P.S. Buck Herring, an alumnus of KTKT "Radio Free Tucson" 990 in the late 50's and the morning guy on KYA 1260 in San Francisco in the mid-60's, used a wide variety of sound EFX on his show as well. Very entertaining!
