    Student engineer at pioneer Nathan Hale radio station KNH 1210 in 1970 (prior to KNHC). Also attended North Seattle Community College and L.H. Bates in Tacoma (KTOY-FM). Sam’s career began as a KJR request line operator in 1970, with his first on-air job at KRKO in 1972. In 1976 he segued to overnights at KTAC as Cory Landon, then weekends at KING. In 1978 he moved to Lewiston, Idaho for afternoons on KOZE and KRLC. Throughout the ‘80s he was an announcer and/or engineer at "the best mix and biggest variety" of Spokane radio stations; including 97KREM, KZUN, KGA, KKER (The Sam & Pam Show), KZZU, PD of KJRB, 98 KISS-FM, and the voice of KAYU-TV. In 1989 he moved to Los Angeles as Assistant Chief Engineer and weekends at KZLA/KLAC. Also engineered for KBIG, KFI, Premiere Radio Networks, CBS Radio, and others. After avoiding any actual work for nearly 45 years, now happily retired and very appreciatively back in the great Pacific Northwest! ---Click here for other Sam Lawson articles ---and here for Sam Lawson airchecks

    1. Wow. What a great air check! We had a pretty hot station then! I love radio from the 70’s… the excitement, the energy, the on-air processing. You don’t hear that today. Pulling over KOZE listeners with stickers and handing out cash… pretty good! Thank you Gene Hamblin and Mike Ripley Thanks for submitting this, Jim and Sam!!!

      1. You’re thinking of Jim Iverson, also from KGAL, his brother – Tom – worked there in sales when I was there for a very brief stint. Unfortunately, Jim Iverson passed a few yrs ago.
