MICHAEL SELDEN TRIBUTE ON THIS SUNDAY'S HI-FI CLUB

M

MikeShannon914

Guest
Sunday night, 6PM-7PM on KMNY-1360 and streaming on the web at www.thehificlub.net. Since we turn the clocks forward on Sunday, the show will get the benefit of the full 50kw stick for the whole hour! Woo hoo!

Anywaze...a tribute to the late Michael Selden, longtime jock at KLIF, KVIL, KNUS, KPLX, KIXK and others. Selden passed away 11 years ago next week. We'll play some long-lost airchecks (much more than just the KLIF ones that have circulated for years) and do some music history and birthdays and such (Andy Gibb gone 20 years next week?!? Sheesh.)

I was told that Rhyner gave us a nice review on The Hardline for our John Labella tribute last week...thank you!!
 
Hey Mike, any chance you will ever have this in podcast form for those of us that can't listen live?

And, where were you the day KBOX went country?

Great..... get to listen to all of the show instead of only about 30 minutes.....when it started fading out.
 
Thanks for the show and well done. I guess I was listening somewhere else during those times but when and were did Selden and Dick Siegel work together? I bet that combination was quite entertaining.

Thanks very much! Sieg and Selden worked together at KLIF and KPLX in 1980-81. That was just before Sieg and Hal Jay defected from KPLX and moved over to WBAP. Sounded like Selden had a regular KLIF shift then, and filled in for Danny McDuff at sister KPLX for a week, then was given the "Michael in the Morning" show at KPLX thereafter. (Notice how the schtick is more tame at that point...KPLX was being very cautious with their new country format!) Also, I want to thank fellow R-I poster Joe King for sending me those KPLX and KLIF airchecks quite a while back...I think that's the only recording out there of anything Selden after 1978. I tried thanking him on the air, but the closing was way overmodulated...a victim of me finishing up the editing at 2:30AM on a worknight!!

YES...podcasts coming soon. Still need some webspace to do that, as I'm out right now and can't afford to throw down $50 to take out what I need. (Donations, anyone?!?)

I was still in diapers when KBOX flipped. Most of the info on the KBOX section of knus99.com about that era did come straight from the horse's mouth, Bill Ward, the PD who suggested the change and then implemented it. Glad we were able to get Bill's take on things before his untimely death a short while back.

The time change took care of that all on its own, thankfully...I checked a few days back and found out we were only gaining 15 mins more of peak wattage otherwise in March!
 
Actually, I was listening on thehificlub.net, and the modulation sounded fine. I was always a big fan of Selden.

My favorite part from one of the older airchecks you played tonight was when Michael Selden played the attention signal.

Today, the attention signal I hear when they do it on WBAP sounds like a fax machine, but in other parts of the world where they use older equipment, that still probably is the attention signal.
 
The attention signal is a tone that can activate things like the Emergency Broadcast System if broadcast over the air, or activate a Network Alert if you were part of the CBS Radio Network, etc.

Essentially, if you had a News Emergency in Dallas and wanted to issue a Network Alert, you would run the attention signal through the board, and then press a button with another tone to signify how important it is.

The board operators in all the other network cities would see the network alert monitor go off, and a digital display shows on a scale of 1 to 10 how important it is. They then go over to "audition," and listen to something, such as, "This is Bob Schieffer in the CBS News Room. Such & such has happened. Please stand by for a breaking news alert in approximately three minutes at 11:05 am Eastern time."

The tone is called "the attention signal" because the equipment is designed to listen for that turn, and set off the monitor when it hears it established for more than just a second or two.
