… What’d you finally pay for it  Thirty-five cents? …
[Description by Bruce Portzer]
Charlie Brown took over KJR’s morning shift in 1974, when Emperor Lee Smith moved to the sales department. Before that, he had done mornings at KJR’s sister station KJRB in Spokane, plus a few months of evenings at KJR in 1968.
Charlie’s voice character, Clydie, is featured prominently in this
aircheck. The KJR Wakeup Lady, Roy Otis, Orlando Wallmacher, and a number of listeners can also be heard.
By this time, the classic KJR jingles had been shortened by removing the “Channel 95” from the end, leaving just “KJR Seattle”.
Charlie left for KUBE-FM in 1980, where he and partner Ty Flint held down the morning shift until the mid 90’s. After a couple of years of oldies at KJR-FM, he retired from broadcasting. As of May, 2003, Charlie heads a company that produces audio editing software.
