KSUL Broadcaster Update
Dave Burchett (Dave Randall) came in 4th in this years LARadio.com listener poll for LA overnight radio personalities for his fine work on KRTH, ironically beating out KKJZ (no personality named) -- they came in 10th.
Kim Amidon continues her successful run on KOST as part of the longest running morning show team in LA radio history.
John Palmintari has confirmed that he is NOT Jamaican even though he is the King of Santa Barbara broadcasting working as a TV feature reporter for KEYT Channel 3 and reporting the news at KJEE 92.9FM and KCLU 102.3FM.
Phil Hulett continues to be the "go to guy" anchoring around the clock at KFWB.
Paul Sakrison continues as the chief engineering guru at KFWB/KNX.
Dennis Clare, along with his duties at WPMD.org as operations director, is working for the ABC Radio Network on various shows and currently working on the nationally syndicated Al B. Sure "Secret Garden" show.
...and, yes, I'm still with the nationally syndicated Tom Joyner Morning Show (100 markets), which airs locally mornings on 100.3 KKBT, where I am the west coast producer and contributor to rock writer Dave Marsh's "Kick Out the Jams" on Sirius Satellite radio.
It appears, at this point, that Saul Levine's Mt.Wilson Broadcasting will soon be operating KKJZ for CSULB. Tom Mullins and myself continue to try and talk to someone -- anyone into bringing back a meaningful student radio program (like the one that trained the above superstars). With KKJZ operating with the newest technology of HD radio, it's our hope that we might be able to apprehend a "subchannel" for students to broadcast on, that won't effect the "main channel" -- the University's showcase and money making machine. Don't hold your breath on this one because the University is sold on the prospect of student "interns" at KKJZ and we all know how effective internships are in broadcasting.
Recently, in one of Long Beach's finer pubs, a meeting of the minds of Kevin Poore, Dave Burchett, Kevin Glenn, Mike Ballinger and myself, accomplished absolutely nothing, but to confirm that KSUL built bonds that are as fresh today as it was when we got booted off campus 30 years ago. Taking the "reunion" concept one step further than we did this last summer was discussed over several brews, but Dave Burchett is probably the only one that is clear on that discussion because he wasn't drinking. I'll get back to you on any future plans once I go over the details with Dave.
If you have any news about KSUL Alumni -- send it my way. I'll pass it on to the masses.
