Via Don Barrett's laradio.com column this morning.

Roberts was the guy who rescued KROQ from the brink by getting it back on the air in 1976 when it had mere days left before it would lose its license for staying silent too long.

He also owned MARS/fm in the 1990s after selling KROQ to Infinity.

Good picture of him and Freddy Snakeskin on Don's site.
 
Thanks K.M.
