[Description by Uncle Ricky]
Johnny Hayes (at KRTH101)
Johnny Hayes was working for Bill Drake at WAKE (Atlanta)
when he was 21. Five years later, he arrived at KRLA, Los Angeles, after
appearances in San Francisco at KYA and San Diego at KGB. Hayes
won Billboard magazine’s Personality of the Year award in 1984.
Johnny was on the air at KRTH in Los Angeles from March 23, 1992 until May of 2002.
Also included in this aircheck from April 14, 1967 is a newscast with KRLA News
and Program Director Cecil Tuck, remembered for his “crusading journalism” and The Credibility Gap, a fifteen minute newscast with skits and original songs. With partner Bob Eubanks, he started the KRLA Beat newspaper. Tuck went on to write for The Smothers Brothers, Glen Campbell and Kenny Rogers TV shows. He also wrote campaign speeches for Pat Paulsen.
This (clean but VERY narrowband) off-the-air recording even includes a pattern/power change (at
approximately 23:10).
