Breakfast with the Beatles klos

Well, it was on last week...Chris Carter recently had a brief hiatus and Matt Pinfield filled in for, I want to say, a couple weeks? But Chris is back now. Or was, last I listened. Why, was it not on this week?

Breakfast with the Beatles has got to be one of the longest continuously running programs LA Radio history (1984-2024), covering multiple stations, but mainly KMET, KLSX, and KLOS, and amazingly with only two hosts, Dierdre O'Donague and Chris Carter during the entire run. An amazing radio accomplishment and a tribute to how great the Beatles were.

It is still a Sunday morning tradition, although I usually listen to Chris' version on the SiriusXM Beatles Channel.

You got my curiosity piqued, Flipper, so I looked it up on Wikipedia and apparently L.A. was a latecomer to the party. The program originally began on WIOQ in Philadelphia back in 1976 and the longest-running current version is on WICB Ithaca NY, which has aired it since 1980.

Wikipedia says the L.A. version ran on KCBS-FM between the KLSX and KLOS runs, but I think that timeline is in error. My recollection is that the late Ms. O'Donaghue moved from KMET to KCBS-FM (when 94.7 became KTWV, maybe ... that would have been during the Arrow 93 years) and then to KLSX in 1988 (I think? I know it preceded the talk format, and that was 1995). She passed away in 2001 and Chris Carter succeeded her as host, then it was off for a couple of months in 2006 (?) before reappearing on KLOS.

But yes, O'Donaghue and Carter both started a tradition on Sunday mornings and kept it alive. And as you allude to in your post, there is certainly enough Beatles material -- both released and unreleased -- to keep that tradition going as a tribute to the Fab Four.

Carter was off for a few weeks, first for either a vacation or health thing, then he had a death in the family, so he was off a little longer than expected. But he's been back on for some weeks now, as normal.
