Mark Watkins now on WBAP

[Gary Mack]

Just heard him a few minutes ago! Was this day one, or do I need to pay closer attention?

Maybe they could coordinate it & have everyone move from KRLD to WBAP at the same time.... ;D

 

[radioaircheck]

Wow!! Brad is bringing them all over. Question is...could we see Mark on the in the Morning?

A smarter person than me (my wife) advises that Mark has been doing weekends at WBAP for a few months. :-[

Now they should put Carla Marion and mark Watkins together.

 

[cashmere]

That would be way too intellegent to do! I love Carla.

Gary,

Your bride is incorrect. Mark was in for training last weekend and anchored just one cast. It was the first time he anchored on WBAP. He was in for more training today.

Thanks.

Good move, Rick and Company...Mark's a great guy and a solid addition for ya. If I'm not mistaken, this will be a reunion of former longtime KLIF/KPLX newscasters with Watkins and Pendo together again!

(Yeah, KPLX actually did newscasts, MANY moons ago.)

 

[DanLewis]

Good job on the good job Rick!
Glad to hear that Mark is back in the saddle.

 

[radi0avenger]

Congrats Mark! ;D

Thanks, Rick. Karin now advises that, for embarassing her, I will be sleeping in the garage tonight!

KPLX & it's then sister station KLIF (Talkradio 1190) used to do outstanding severe weather coverage as well, right up there with 1080. This was in the mid 1980's.

Who cares about WBAP, they should've never been on 96.7. I'm still upset that Platinum went away.

You might as well get over it. Platinum is gone and isn't coming back. Everybody here has had stations they liked that changed formats, but we don't hold on to grudges. It's the nature of the business.

I should've left the names of Mark Watkins & John Pendolino (hope I spelled his name right) on this,
as it was the two of them doing that outstanding severe weather coverage...

I am over it, I took it off of my preset button.

Mark is one of the best!! I'm glad I can get to hear him occasionally.
