… throwing down the gauntlet to the gods of no-no …
In early 1974, The Real Don Steele devoted his Friday sign-off on K-100 to bid a sarcastic goodbye to Barry Kaye, who was leaving KHJ and returning to Texas. Steele’s Friday sign-off was an “inside joke” to slam KHJ more than Barry Kaye, himself.This rare aircheck of Steele stands as stunning evidence of the vendetta K-100 had for KHJ in direct retribution for RKO Radio management bouncing The Real Don Steele and the Drake-Chenault team from KHJ in 1973. However, K-100 never succeeded in getting revenge against KHJ in the LA radio ratings the way the Drake-Chenault team had intended.
