SEAN KING (Ex-KOFY 1050 and TV 20)

Today, I watched a DANCE PARTY marathon on KOFY-TV 20. I am curious, Does anyone know the whereabouts of SEAN KING who was the announcer of the DANCE PARTY as well as at KOFY-1050. Is Sean still in the radio or tv biz? He has such a great voice. Kind of like a younger version of GARY OWENS unless he was mimicking him.

I just saw that show tonight on KOFY-TV. Was that Jim Gabbert with Hank Ballard? What year was that done?

When Jim was talking about the TV SAP Channel I thought that's not going to last too long. Then when he talked about Cinco de Mayo I figure out that it was old.

I do get up to Reno-Lake Tahoe and have heard the announcer on Channel 11 so now I'll be able to place it with his face. Again are those shows 10-years old?

I will look for your replies.

That HANK BALLARD show was from 1990. Most of the shows shown were from 1986-92. Most were OLDIES based though there was the special CINCO DE MAYO show and DISCO show. I am guessing that the current owners of KOFY (GRANITE BROADCASTING), were probably lent those videos by JIM GABBERT himself. Now if only KOFY has a SLEAZY ARMS marathon, I'd........ ::)
