Have you ever seen the Studios at the Plaza?. Well I stayed there a few times, and followed this dirty carpet which took me by their Office in a seedy part of the Plaza, if you can believe that?. When you run a cluster, rent or space should not be a terrible problem.

> Having been there the first day KDWN went on the air...the studios were by the Martini shaped pool. One way glass so the announcers could see out and no one could see in!!!

Listen, I know this was your first post, but...
You are required to at least say something in your reply, not just repost the post?. But only if you get to see this ugly part of the "World Famous" Plaza where KDWN is, I doubt they had too many visitors there? Johnny Magnus, L.A. Radio legend and Music of Your Life Personality told me he once had the KDWN General Manager by the throat with his head out a second story window. Radio can do that to you. Vegas, "What happens here stays here"!

The only GM was a woman, so Johnny Magnus did what?
Oh and Williams, the owner-I doubt the story was true.

Johnny Magnus
The only GM in the last 35 Years since the Mag worked there?. Perhaps it was the GSM?. He told me the story, and I had no reason to doubt him.

OK, KDWN went on the air in April of 75'..not to be a stickler, but 35 years and 2006 doesn't doesn't jive. If I'm not mistaken, it was April 4th, 1975!
Doesn't really matter come to think of it, but I know who Johnny was talking about, SHE didn't "TAKE OVER" KDWN till 76', sometime around Oct or Nov.
Williams the owner knew damned well it was true!

Johnny even took his "Weather with a Beat" to Las Vegas.

So who pray tell was this evil sales manager/GM?
Because I know that Claire was pretty evil as well.
I recall that KDWN started as a music
station and had some great numbers.

Don't know how the hell it happened but one day she was in LA and the next she was GM of KDWN.
Great numbers is an under statement....for a brand spanking new station? The mighty city of Parump she appreciated the station. They held a big picnic BBQ in their honor to raise money for the first ambulance in the town! The day of...there was a convey over a mile long heading up the road to the BBQ! They just don't make radio like that any more....anywhere.

Awaiting FCC approval. Usually takes 60 days or so. I think they said they'd close in the third quarter. Speculation is that they'll do Adult Standards. They could also do talk and take on the always lame KXNT, but that would require more effort.
