Ron Chapman Returns

All Access is reporting that Ron Chapman may be returning to D/FW airwaves full time and then they say... could this be "TRUE"? Leading one to believe Ron Chapman in the morning and True Oldies all day. It would be better than Imus in the Morning... That would put a damper on KLUV huh?
 
Well, no question...Ron is brilliant! I have ultimate respect for him and fond memories of how he helped me. He remains an "idol" in my mind..and one of the finest performers I've ever heard. He also showed me WAY more respect than I deserved.

With that said, I am reminded of a question I'm told was posed to Liberace: "How many encores should a performer do?" The answer was, "One less than will satisfy the audience."

On the other hand...if anyone can do it "one more time," it would be Ron.

Well-said, sir.

Once you have radio in your blood, it's difficult, if not impossible, to get rid of it. If he truly is coming back in this form, I bet he would be successful.

Well if that's the case, why did he leave KLUV? There was a time when Ron himself would say to the effect of he would be in radio until the day he passed. But then, he retired from KLUV. What's up with that?
 
I'm sure you would have to ask him. I was only relaying my personal feelings. Since starting in radio, I have only ever been out for at most a year at a time. I keep my foot in the door because I enjoy it.
 
Maybe Ron could do a TV show on wellness.

He could call it Sumpt'n Health

;D

<double rimshot... golf clap.... SFX of crickets> :p
 
Or about hunting: "Sump'n Elks"

Or about dieting: "Aweigh We Go"

Or about alternative sexual encounters: "Hump'n Else"

Or about Rogaine: "The Group and Hair-Again Show"

Or do spots for lip balm: "Ron Chapstick" (remember Suzie Chaffee/Suzie ChapStick?)

Bleah. :-[
 
I think the definitive thing to do would be to flip KPLX's calls to KLIF-FM.

Then, simulcast the morning show with adult contemporary music on the new KLIF AM & FM.
