And lots of good talk radio before the cartels ruined it...Herb Jepco
and the Night Caps on KSL out of Salt Lake City, Bill Barker on 850
KOA Denver, Jack Wheeler on KDKA after the Pirate game, etc. etc. etc.
The list could go on and on, every city had their own local hosts and
callers and it didn't take long before you felt you personally knew
all of them.

Yes I was truly blessed to grow up before radio was destroyed.

I heard Jepco a lot.

And L.A. 50,000 Watt KFI 640
Night Owls Midnight to 6 AM with Ben Hunter and Ron McCoy

I never guessed how all those truck drivers on HWY 50 and 80
found phones at 2 AM to call in.

Here in N California/Nevada border, I heard Art Bell on the 80 meter
SSB HAM band a few years back...
I don't know if he still hangs there any more...

lol...yes I remember hearing cars zooming by in the background as
callers talked from pay phones on the side of the road. Maneuvering a
sixteen wheeler up next to a pay phone just to call your favorite show
- that is really a devoted listener!

Has Art Bell got any more babies by that gal he married when she was
twenty years old?
