A special exhibit in light of the passing of Bob Barker; upon his arrival in CA in 1950, he hosted the Bob Barker Show for many years and it led to Ralph Edwards choosing him to inherit Truth of Consequences in 1956. Also here is the start of the Mutual Major League Baseball Game of the Day with Art Gleason on PBP from Yankee Stadium. Both feature short segments due to time and content. Bob’s personality is highlighted, and the game features lineups and a short summary. It’s KHJ the way it was during the reign of 50s Television.

KHJ Country Los Angeles Janine Wolf 03-15-1981

When KHJ determined their "Counry" format wasn't nailing it, they went back to a more familiar sounding KHJ...this time playing Oldies!
"Million Dollar Weekend"

KHJ-Los Angeles Mark Dennis June 1983

I knew John from his Tucson days, we were friends for years. Spoke to him on the phone for years, sadly he passed away March 2018.
One HELL of a jock!
I had NO idea until I found this aircheck that he had also worked a shift at KHJ...kind of on a visit I guess, since at the time he was working a full time gig at KFRC. RKO, Paul Drew, who knows?

Los Angeles - KHJ

KHJ-Los Angeles John Mack Flanagan 08-16-75

OK if you accessed this from Sharing Airchecks, I can't change the date, but did on the Soundcloud file. I'm told it's from 1968, NOT 1969! so made the change on the Soundcloud file.

KHJ-Los Angeles Real Don Steele 12-26-1968

Just a few days left for the end of 1968! Steele plays some GREAT tunes. Danny Williams one of my all time favorites, also John Wesley Ryles and "Kay" and Sammy Davis Jr.!!!!

KHJ-Los Angeles Johnny Williams 02-27-1970

In April 1965, programming consultant Bill Drake crafted KHJ's top 40 format. Drake hired program director Ron Jacobs, who had created formats in Hawaii and California. The format, known as "Boss Radio", featured a restricted playlist and restrained commentary by announcers (although a few, such as Robert W. Morgan, Charlie Tuna, Humble Harve Miller, and The Real Don Steele, were allowed to develop on-air personas). 
Other DJs from this era (1965–1980) included Roger Christian, Gary Mack, Dave Diamond, Beau Weaver, John Leader, Sam Riddle, Johnny Williams, Frank Terry, Johnny Mitchell, Tommy Vance, Scotty Brink, Steve Clark, Bobby Tripp, Tom Maule, and Bill Wade. 
One defining characteristic of Boss Radio was the jingles by the Johnny Mann Singers. Drake's format spread throughout North America, bringing high ratings to KFRC in San Francisco, WFIL in Philadelphia, KGB in San Diego, WQXI in Atlanta, WRKO in Boston, and CKLW in Windsor, Ontario, Canada (serving Detroit). 
Drake and his business partner Gene Chenault brought many of their announcers from the other Boss stations, using those stations as a farm system to develop talent
