San Diego Chargers broadcast question

The late, great Lyle Bond and Emil Karas did the honors first from 1961-68 on KFMB-AM. From 1969-71, Stu Nahan & Johnny Parker did the games on KDEO. Others in the 70s included Hope Hines and Jerry Gross. I'm not sure of exact dates and stations. Lee "Hacksaw" Hamilton announced in the 90s, including their only Super Bowl season of '94.
 
Don't leave out "Fast" Eddie. I can't remember his last name but for the two or so games he called he must have said "He's got a soupbone" about 100 times. Didn't Leitner also call a few games? I remember him as doing an excellent job.
 
Hacksaw on 690 was from '86 to '97 I believe. Pat Curran did color most of that time as well. Part of that time Bill Werndl was third man in the booth.

Leitner took over in when they went to KFMB in '97. At some point Hank Bauer got added when it was on KFMB.
 
I can't believe no one has mentioned John DeMott, who broadcasted the Chargers on KSDO for many years in the early to mid '80s.
