- KIRO 710ESPN Seattle 710 KHz
Games and sports-blabber - KIROFM 97.3
Multi-format: news and nearly all local talk. This is where classic KIRO AM news talk radio went... hopefully, not to die. The home of Dave Ross & Luke Burbank, Dori Monson, Ron & Don, Frank Shiers, Bill Radke, Linda Thomas, Tony Miner and George Noory. - KUOW FM 94.9
Seattle's foremost public radio news and talk. - KVI am 570 KHz
Visit the burnt-out husk of one of the seminal right-wing talkers in all the land. Here's where once trilled the reactionary tones of Rush Limbaugh, John Carlson, Kirby Wilbur, Mike Siegel, Peter Weissbach, Floyd Brown, Dinky Donkey, and Bryan Suits. Now it's Top 40 hits from the '60's & '70's aimed at that diminishing crowd who still remembers them and can still hear. - KTTH am 770 KHz
Right wing home of local, and a whole bunch of syndicated righties such as Glennn Beck, Rush Limbaugh, Michael Medved, Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham, Lars Larsony, and for an hour a day: live & local David Boze. - KPTK am 1090 KHz
Syndicated liberal talk. Stephanie Miller, Thom Hartmann, Ed Schultz, Randi Rhodes, Norman Goldman fill in the large hole to the left on Northwest radio dial. - KLFE AM 1590 kHz
Syndicated right-wing 2nd stringers like Mark Levin, Bill Bennett, Mike Gallagher, Dennis Prager, Dennis Miller and Hugh Hewitt inhabit this timid-voiced neighbor honker for your radio enjoyment (unless you're behind something large like Costco). - KOMOAM
News, traffic, Ken Schram and John Carlson. - Washington State Radio Stations
Comprehensive list of every danged AM & FM station on the dial. - KKOL am 1300 KHz
Once a rabid right-wing talker, except for Lou Dobbs, it's all business....
Heh...I love the names and how they are interchangeable with the names on every other radio station. A friend of mine worked at KBZY in Oregon ..his name is Dave Smith...and on the air he was Dave Reynolds. I wonder how many of these hames were their real ones.

KJR was personality radio so they wanted DJs to have easy names to say and remember.
Interesting that the jocks who had stage names use those names on facebook.
Posted by: Mike Barer | May 15, 2010 at 08:53 AM
Seven people in the picture, six names listed.
I missed this era of Seattle radio. I was stuck in Southern California at that time in my life.

Regarding on-air names: Lan Roberts certainly had more of a ring to it than his real name, which was Lanny W. Lipford. In all events, the line-up in the photo was packed with talent and, happily, a few of the guys are still on the air locally. Sadly, we've lost a couple: Lan and the Emp.

Missing name is "Kevin O'Brien" (striped shirt in front) aka Kevin Metheny who is now programming a major station in Chicago.

That was before Gary Lockwood came on. That's what I remember about KJR AM before it became sports talk KJR. Police blotter with Copper Cooper and something like twisted tunes with Captain Lockjock, the studio announcer. Good for a laugh when getting up before the advent of talk-talk in the mornings on the AM side.
Would like to hear some of those archived broadcasts.

Isn't Gary Shannon now known as Gary Burleigh on KOMO radio? I loved his voice then and love his news now!

I think these days, most people remember John Maynard as one half of the Robin and Maynard team. They had one of the area's wittiest drive time shows for a couple of decades.
Posted by: Mike Barer | May 16, 2010 at 10:08 AM
Lockjock, curious which jingle company produced the KJR jingles. Never heard anything like them on any other station.
Posted by: Dangerous Dan | May 16, 2010 at 10:56 AM
Jingles done by PAMS, later some series from "PaPa" -- even a few cuts from TM's "Rhythm of the City" campaign (after "you" series that KING had).
Posted by: Eric D. | May 16, 2010 at 10:48 PM
Wow. I remember listening to all of them cept Maynard. Even remember when O'Brien moved to PM drive and the KJR Cash Call contest. Had no idea until much later that Maynard was part of that tomfoolery. Looks like most of them are wearing Swabbys. Remember Swabby jeans? Had to buy them at Chubby & Tubby.

Hey what happened to the KJR year-end surveys? So far I've only seen 1966, 1977, and 1980. It's got to be around somewhere.
Posted by: Eric | June 03, 2010 at 09:37 AM
Good news, I've got the year-end surveys from 1964, '65, and '67. And it came from an unlikely source: The Seattle Post-Intelligencer microfilm. There will be more to come!
Posted by: Eric Marshall | July 06, 2010 at 11:47 AM
And now I have 1968 and '69! 1971 and '72 will be coming soon (the lady from the Seattle Public Library said that they couldn't find 1970 and '73 in the microfilm; she thinks they were on the weekly survey).
Posted by: Eric Marshall | July 09, 2010 at 01:57 PM
Yeah, I'd say the assessment of Ed Brubaker as someone who's risen from fanboyism very well is spot on. I mean, come on, bringing back Bucky? Making him a bad guy? Then making him Captain America? In the hands of a lesser talent, that would have been a dull and retarded retread of Cap history that would be reverted as soon as possible with some clone/life model decoy hand wave.
Other writers do this, and have been doing this, for years. It's not only limited to comics, either. Philip Jose Farmer's Wold Newton fictional biography stuff was an effective use of a "Oh man wouldn't it be cool IF" scenario.

I remember Kevin Obrien--He had a jingle that was sung to the tune of Mickey Mouse--would love to hear that again--is it posted on you tube or anywhere?
