… It’s a Happy Show with a real good Joe called Yocam …
Joe Yocam (d. 1974) started at KFWB in 1942, and was one of the original “Seven Swingin’ Gentleman” on Chuck Blore’s brilliant Color Radio Channel 98 in pre-Boss Angeles. Yocam was on every weekday from Noon to 3, and is credited with naming the KFWB music list the Fabulous Forty. Except for several months in 1965 when he was terminated by KFWB (and re-hired after an action by AFTRA), Yocam worked at KFWB until March, 1968, when the station abandoned their music format and changed format to “All News.”
Note the many production elements, the creative Public Service Announcement, the
“Purely Personal” feature, and the classic jingles. Also featured, more of newsman Jackson King with Bannerline Los Angeles on the half-hour.
