KSUL/CSULB Alumni Gets A Star

From LARadio.com: Mark & Kim Star. Barry Manilow and writer-director Garry Marshall will be among the guests on hand tomorrow morning when KOST’s Mark Wallengren and Kim Amidon are honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. The ceremony will mark the 20th Anniversary of “The Mark & Kim Show” on KOST.

“We’re thrilled that Barry and Garry will be part of Mark & Kim’s big day,” said KOST pd Stella Schwartz. “Barry Manilow is one of the greatest names in Adult Contemporary music. Barry was also Mark & Kim’s first in-studio guest, so to have him speak at the Walk of Fame ceremony means the world to them.”

Schwartz is equally excited to have Marshall take part. “Garry’s been a wonderful friend of the show for such a long time. It’s fitting that his star is so close to theirs. Like Mark & Kim, Garry has proven that you can be family-friendly and still entertain and move an audience.”

Mark & Kim’s star will be the 2,303rd star on the historic Hollywood Walk of Fame. It will be located on Hollywood Boulevard, near Disney’s El Capitan Theatre.

Kim is an extremely talented broadcaster on so many levels and, no doubt, some of that talent was cultivated, tested and grew from her experiences at the one time "radio lab" at CSULB -- KSUL. Several other Alumni of KSUL are currently working with the college to rekindle such a program and at some point soon we'll be reaching out for YOUR help to make that happen. Congratulations Kim!! (If I remember correctly, Kim did mornings at KSUL, as well.)
