KRLA 1110 Los Angeles - Bob Dayton - December 5 1967 - Radio Aircheck

[@donaldwatson3176]

Love the sounds of the djs from the years of personality driven radio. Radio will never be that good again.

Interesting file about Bob Dayton, I never have heard of him until this year check :-)

[@ronkeyes659]

Love the intro, Ellis! Nice delivery!

[@EllisFeaster]

Thanks. I guess all the years in broadcasting paid off! LOL!

[@ronkeyes659]

@EllisFeaster It did! But it's getting harder to find a good hot dog street vendor in day parts. 😉

@@ronkeyes659 LOL!!!

Coming out of "The Gypsy Cried": "I made a gypsy cry once... Mom always told me to hit a happy medium..." Bob Dayton 1290 WGLI

[@louisb5563]

Still digging these airchecks! Can anyone tell me what song he is playing @ 13:20?

[@Mackermanesq]

Rick Sklar fired Bob for an inappropriate joke about Hiroshima. I'm sure Sklar would have kept him otherwise, and Dayton knew that. Nice Spanky and Our Gang Pontiac commercial within.

Ellis, is it normal for DJs to move from station to station?

[@dougmilesmedia]

It's usually not the DJ's choice to make those moves :) Even the best in the business have gotten canned several times or non-renewed. Just the nature of the radio business.

[@EllisFeaster]

It's pretty normal. When you get fired, or when you want to move up, it often requires moving. In my 45 years in broadcasting, I've worked on air at radio stations in Atlantic City, Long Island, Wilmington, Roanoke, Hartford, Norfolk-Virginia Beach, Tampa, Seattle, Portland, Salt Lake City, Rochester & Orlando.

@@EllisFeaster WOW... that's a lot of moving from the East Coast to the West Coast

[@JonBrooks105]

Bob more than others...
