The airchecks of the Real Don Steel and Charlie Tuna on KHJ in the late 60s and early 70s were awsome.

Tina Delgatto is STILL alive!

Looking at the KIIS web-site must have been a major depressing experience for Rick. All the other jocks are less than half his age. It didn't take them long to get him off the site, either. His picture was gone while his chair was still warm

That 60's and 70's era produced a lot of folks who were long-time survivors in the business. Johnny Hayes, and Steve Jay (Jay Stevens) are still active in L.A. radio and "Machine Gun" Tom Kelly still does a lot of commercial work.

I don't know if it's true or not, but I heard that Dees was offered 2.5 mil to keep going. As far as FM goes in LA, besides Dees there would be Power (Big Boy?), Kevin and Bean on KROQ and Mark and Brian on KLOS. I would think he would be in the top two of those shows. I actually never listened to him.

As for reelradio.com, the air checks are awsome. The one "Boss Jock" from KHJ I didn't see was Sam Riddle. KHJ was it for AM radio in LA during the 70s along with KEZY 1190 in Orange County. On FM it was KLOS and KMET. Now it's all corporate stations with bot jocks.
