Ron Reynolds & Jim Price KEWB/91 Oakland

[kenb]

I think these two DJs were on KEWB channel 91 radio in the San Francisco Bay Area around 1966... Ron may have worked later on KCBS/74 doing the news later in the 80's. I think I remember that Jim Price went to KLAC/57 in L.A. back in the Seventies. Any info on where they are now?

Ron Reynolds worked at KCBS for years - doing traffic, if I remember correctly. He retired in 2004, and according to the web link below, "devotes his time to writing and teaching on the subject of spirituality and relationships."

Also (assuming I remember correctly), Reynolds did a lot of Bay Area TV voiceovers in the 70s and 80s, including LaBrie's Waterbeds. I believe it's Ron's voice on the front and tail ends of this commercial:

Nobody has corrected me, so I'll correct myself. I'm confusing my Rons. Ron Reynolds was a long-time anchor at KCBS, but Ron Lyons did traffic there.

The TV voice-over for La Brie's Waterbeds was Ron Lyons, not Reynolds. To compound the confusion, in the 70s, Ron Lyons also worked at KEWB in the 60s and at KNEW in the 70s, the successor to KEWB on Oakland's "Channel 91."

Yes, and my memory was a bit fuzzy too. I meant Gene Price not Jim Price. After I submitted, I realized my error. So, does anyone know what happened to Gene Price?

To confuse thins a bit further, both Rons also worked for KNBR during the early(Lyons) to mid(Reynolds) '80s. Reynolds did afternoon drive on KNBR when I started listening to the station(late '86-early '87), and, prior to that date, may have replaced Lyons in that slot(Lyons would have replaced Joel Spivak). Reynolds moved to KCBS in the spring of '87.
