On a Saturday night in Los Angeles, November, 1977, Ken Levine rolls some tape on the KTNQ skimmer machine, and saves his performance as Beaver Cleaver on the New TEN-Q, never realizing he’d be on something called “the Web” someday…19 years later, Ken Levine is in his second year as play-by-play guy for the San Diego Padres, has just completed producing, writing and directing Almost Perfect for CBS, and has one Emmy and two Writers Guild awards for his work in TV writing and producing (M*A*S*H, Cheers, The Jeffersons, The Simpsons, Wings, Frasier).
Levine’s radio dues include those paid at KERN/ Bakersfield, WDRQ/ Detroit, KYA/San Francisco, KABC, KMPC, and KFI/ Los Angeles.
This “direct-from-the-10Q-control-room-skimmer” aircheck from 1977 boasts excellent technical quality and showcases the youthful exuberance and enthusiasm of TEN Q.
And what does the Beaver say today about this carefully preserved Exclusive RT40RR contribution ?
Ten Q was the last great AM personality station in Los Angeles. It was unforgettable radio playing very forgettable music.
Thank You, Ken.
