Tennessee Ernie Ford, when he moved
to Carmel, listened to Jim Lange and
hired him as announcer/sidekick on his
1962-65 ABC daytime show. Just before
that show was canceled, Chuck Barris
happened be tuned in one morning and
decided Lange was the man to host his
new game show, The Dating Game. The
rest, as they say, is history. Lange
commuted from San Francisco to Los
Angeles to do Dating Game.

Interesting that KNBC radio was in
San Francisco and KNBC-TV in Los Angeles.
Likewise, there was KCBS radio in San
Francisco; CBS's Los Angeles television
o&o was KNXT until the '80s when it, too,
became KCBS.

Is this newscaster Alex Dreier?

One of a couple of names on here (Gary Owens
is another) who became L.A. institutions.

CBS was still carrying radio soaps. The last ones
(Right To Happiness, Ma Perkins, Young Dr. Malone,
and Second Mrs. Burton) had their last broadcasts
November 25, 1960. CBS founder and chairman William
Paley once said that was one of the worst days of his
life. But the advertiser support was no longer there.

These shows, OTOH, kept going. Godfrey,
in fact, stayed on until 1972 (Art Linkletter
until 1967 on radio, Garry Moore until he took
a two-year leave from broadcasting in 1964,
Bing Crosby and Rosemary Clooney until, I think,
1962).

Not only an L.A. legend, but the announcer
on Rowan And Martin's Laugh-In.

Regarding "Emphasis" on KNBC-680: this was an NBC radio network feature with various hosts on various topics. It aired at 30 minutes past the hour, most every daytime hour on weekdays.
