Did you grow up in Los Angeles? If not, skip to the next item. If you did, keep reading.
Fellow Angelenos: There's a great website called L.A. Radio that tracks the local radio personalities of yesteryear with articles and indices. Usually, it's a subscription (pay) site but for this weekend only, you can browse for free. Instructions on how to do this are on the first page, as is a salute to The Real Don Steele, a local legend of Los Angeles radio.
I've read a few pieces on there. The first guy I looked up was "Sweet" Dick Whittington, who I followed fiercely on KABC from 1966 through 1968 and then on KGIL for ten years after that. (He should not be confused with another local broadcaster, Dick Whittinghill, who was on KMPC from about the time Marconi invented the radio until 1979.) Whittington was one of the freshest, funniest talents to ever work a microphone and some of the things I heard him say are still part of my repertoire of silly things to say. If you heard him today, you'd think you were listening to a guy imitating the less controversial, funnier aspects of Howard Stern and Don Imus, but Whittington was doing that kind of thing before either of them. I wonder if anyone has any tapes of vintage Whittington.
