The man behind the curtain, the one that pulls the strings. He is in control, he is --the Big Honcho. There are mucky-mucks, but he is the muckiest. People say he grew up on the mean streets, attended the school of hard knocks, always ready to rock. You can have your Emperor, Morning Mayor, Early Birds and Morning Zoo.

Who knows what shenanigans the Popes have gotten in to over the years? I can’t imagine the boredom and what that could lead to. Somewhere in the Vatican, there is a pool table, pinball machine and a playstation. Gotta be.
Danny Kaye in town to look over remodeling plans for KJR and to buy an airplane from Boeing…John Mowbray (television sales/development manager) leaves KIRO to oversee his radio station in Eugene, Or., and to prepare operations of his Burien station, soon to go on the air…Anyone remember who partnered with Mowbray on the purchase of the Eugene radio station?

Network radio in small towns: KGEZ, in 1966, ran Hemingway at 7:15 P. M., right after Fulton Lewis III and right before "Tops in Pops", which I got after about a month. Until then, I was just writing copy from nine to five. One day, the G. M. told me I had to come back and ride the board for a half hour at seven. Between Lewis and Hemingway there was a live dollar-a-holler for some snake oil and there were two personal testimonials, like "I swear by this product, I've used it for years", so I added "It says here".
I had to insert three recorded spots into "Hemingway" with no cue sheet. The boss said to just listen for the pause. I was three for three, coming back in the middle of a sentence. The next day, nobody said anything. by Dick Ellingson on Network announcer Frank Hemingway
R.I.P.: Bob Orndorff posted yesterday on Facebook--- I’m devastated, woke up this morning finding out my fellow radio brother Stephen Schlenker or as he was known Steven B has passed away. We worked together in Moses Lake at KWIQ and later I convinced Glen Connolly to hire him at KMAS. RIP ol buddy you will be missed. by Jason Remington on KGY Personality Sick Leave Turns Into Retirement

Fact: after a few years on the job, if the pope stays out of trouble, he gets a Pearly Gate Pass and skips that pat down from Saint Peter.
