Bill Ballance Dead At Age 85
The legendary Southern California radio personality made his mark as one of the
original "Swinging Gentlemen" at then-Top 40 KFWB/Los Angeles. Ballance was
perhaps best known for his years as host of one of the first radio talk shows
to target women listeners, The Feminine Forum on KGBS/Los Angeles in the late
1960s and '70s. His radio career also included stints at KMYR and KOA/Denver,
KNX/Los Angeles and KFMB-AM/San Diego, where he spent his final on-air years
before retiring in 1994.

Stan, something Bill never mentioned...when he came to LA from Denver
he was a summer relief ABC staff announcer, he wasn't very happy being
one of 22 announcers after being a star in Denver. I was also on staff
at the time, we became long time friends... rc
