games through the playoffs to their 3rd consecutive championship.
Since
1960, Chick has been the voice of the L.A. Lakers on radio and tv. The
former host of Bowling for Dollars,
he was inducted into the American Sportscasters Hall of Fame, was the third
broadcaster elected to the Basketball Hall of Fame, and he received a Star
on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. "Put a game in the refrigerator,"
signifying when the game outcome was locked, came from his 83-year-old
grandfather who misplaced things around the house and later discovered them
in the refrigerator. In
the midst of the glory of announcing for an enormously successful sports
franchise, there have been some tough times. Their son, Gary, died at 27 in
1972. Their daughter, Samantha, died at 41 in 1991. Born Francis Hearn on
November 27, 1916, Chick graduated from Bradley University. In the early
1950s he worked in Peoria alongside veteran tv anchor Jerry Dunphy. Chick
called an unprecedented 3,338 NBA games before he underwent open-heart
surgery in late 2001. During that broadcast streak, the Lakers scored
364,148 points winning 2, 092 games. Eight U.S. Presidents served during the
streak. Chick was a college and high school referee for about eight years
before becoming a broadcaster. Who will ever forget his one sentence: "Wraparounddribbledrivefallawayprayer!"
In 1997 the Southern California Sports Broadcasters Association named him
top radio play-by-play announcer.

KABC, 19971-72. Herb, the architect for
the launch of all-News KFWB on March 11, 1968, died August 24, 2003 of
congestive heart failure and diabetes. "It's
indisputable the launching of the all-News format on KFWB was among the most
historic events in Los Angeles radio," commented Don Schrack who later
became news director of the station. "The ratings and the industry
nationwide could not have been accomplished without the vision, direction
and motivation of Herb Humphries," said Schrack. Born
February 13, 1932, Herb was in the ninth grade when he got his first peek at
journalism through the Gladewater, Texas High School newspaper. From that
point in 1944 and for the next 50 years, Herb was working for a newspaper or
broadcasting news. His first radio job was at KGVL-Greenville, Texas, and he
worked in Texas radio for the next ten years picking up several AP awards.
He was one of the original newsmen at Westinghouse's all-News WINS-New York.
When Westinghouse bought KFWB, Herb was named news director and was heavily
involved in the conversion. Herb left radio in 1974 and spent his next 20
years at KMOX/TV-St. Louis. In 1995, a year after retiring to a fishing hole
in East Texas, a newspaper poll still found him to be the sixth most popular
reporter among those St. Louisans polled.
In early 2003, Herb
was nominated for the Texas Radio Hall of Fame. He was 71.

in Southern California from KLIV-San Jose. He was at KLAC
during the "chicken rock" format. When he got to
KRLA for the "underground" format, he worked
late evenings and called himself "Hot Rocks Hunter"
and "Motorcycle Mikel." During his stint as pd of
"the Mighty Met," the environment was as irreverent
as the music. The jocks had a wall full of "nude"
pictures of listeners, and the ceiling of the studio was a
mural with the moon and stars on it. The 1978 film FM
was loosely based on his times at KMET. Mikel hosted several
talk shows in Northern California before retiring to become a
full-time win connoisseur. Mikel left KOME-San Jose in 1982.
His voiceover career includes being the national voice for
Sears. He died November 16, 1997, of complication due to
leukemia. He was 57. Scott St. James remembered: "I
worked for Mikel at KLIV-San Jose. I was hired off a fake
aircheck. I saw a memo Mikel received from the gm telling him
what a terrible mistake he had made and I should be gotten
rid of. Mikel said that he was not going to fire me but he
told me to get as good as that tape. And in a hurry."
