B-100 KFMB-FM San Diego Presentation 1976 (0:17:09)

… . . . some guy outside the room here gave me this to give to you. Look, it’s an autographed picture of God . . . …

I copied this from PD Bobby Rich, who put this together nine months into the station’s existence. With the exceptions of newsperson Terri Lynn and ‘Rocket Man,’ who had already left before I came aboard in August 1975, this composite features the rest of the original B-100 air staff.

Included are Rob Landree, Dave Conley, Willie B. Goode, Jimi Fox, Billy Martin and Phil Flowers, plus me and, of course, Dr. Boogie. You’ll also hear the late Rod Serling — one of his last gigs, as it turns out — was at KFMB-FM.

Welcome to the new ReelRadio!

This site is now operated by the North Carolina Broadcast History Museum. 

We want to thank the board of ReelRadio, Inc. for their stewardship since the passing of the founder Richard Irwin in 2018.  It has not been easy and they have maintained the exhibits for future generations to enjoy.

I met Richard Irwin, aka Uncle Ricky, when we were freshmen at East Carolina University.  We both had worked at local stations in our hometowns.  No one was more passionate about radio, especially Top 40 radio, than my friend Richard. 

Our goals with this site are to preserve the exhibits and make them available free of charge for people to enjoy.  Over time, we hope to add some airchecks to the site.  This will not happen immediately.  Time and resources will determine the future of new exhibits. 

Many thanks to the web folks at the Beasley Media Group for countless hours of work.  Again thanks to the board members of ReelRadio, Inc. for their faith in us. 

Richard Irwin’s hope was that his site would live on long after his passing. He said, “I hope REELRADIO will survive as my contribution to the ‘radio business’. The business is allowed to forget me, but the business should never forget the great era of radio that we celebrate here”.

We remember Richard and we thank him. If you enjoy this new site, we would appreciate a contribution. We hope you enjoy the new ReelRadio!
