... I started out at KBOS in Fresno as a Summer Intern when Chris Miller was the Promotions Director and Mark Adams was PD..... I wanted to do an on air shift..but NO LUCK at KBOS . So Yes David Caudillo and Al Perez hired me to do a Sunday morning shift...I wanted to do more so I started doing sales..(but I hated it)..lol..I wanted to be a freakn clown on th air........ and yes at the time it was Kickin 1220..then later went to Jammin 1210..The Crazy Man Woody Pena, David and his brother were the main jocks on the station at the time...Then Al Perez told me they were flippin formats and 1210 was getting ready to be a Spanish format......PS .What up Paul!! Thanks for the nice words man. I owe a lot to your dad Knox and his business partner Al Perez, plus David Caudillo for hiring a wanna be jock with no on air experience….

kickin' 1220am and then later jammin 1210am was and still is the best radio station i ever heard. musically it was really together. i first heard about it from an article in the fresno bee, back when i lived in fresno. i take that back i first heard about it from a tv commercail on the video juke box. it was channel 53, 34, or 43 something like that. owned by gary cocola. the line up was great, all down to earth jox, and all from fresno and valley. victor vargas and raul lopez were the original pd/md's. but that only lasted about 4 months. the station really took off once Knox La Rue & Al Perez hired David Caudillo. 2 years before mega 979 hit the air they were already playing a jammin' oldies format, but it was more than that. I'm taking Blues, early 90's R&B, Old school hip hop. back then it was kickin 1220 vs. b-95. believe it or not b-95 started playing old school just to try to squash the little am station…..BUT then Mark Adams was out at B95 and Jerry Clifton was in, KSEQ flipped to what is now Q-97, David Caudillo's old friend and former Program Director Greg Mack launched 94.3 The Party ( david Caudillo worked under Greg Mack at 94.3 FM years before) and of course the killer was Mega 979, then Art Laboe left b-95 bought 94.3 the party.
Double J mentioned a few jox that were there, but there were alot more that started there and went on to bigger radio gigs. swervin mervin, the sugarman, joe flores, sherry "sweet thing", woody pena, money mike, sammy diaz, richie rich caudillo (davids brother) kevin lee, homer leija....david even rehired victor vargas "humpty hump"

Hey Shake,
if David Caudillo is such a great molder of talent (so to speak) why hasn't he fixed peak's nicole problem?
