MAC, Don: KDAY, 1974-75; KKTT, 1977-78, pd. Don launched KKTT's ("The Katt") new format, changing the call letters from KGFJ. "The difference is that our emphasis is on music. Almost anyone can sit behind a microphone. We found people 18-35 don't want to boogie all the time. They don't want to be assaulted by radio. We take the best of AM radio and FM and mix and blend them. In that way we can soothe our audience." Don was born in Omaha and worked at KOIL in his hometown before getting to the Southland. When he left L.A. Don became a teacher at a black college in the South. He is now a minister in Oklahoma City.

MAC, Tami: KJLH, 2009-11. Born February 1 in Houston, got her first break at Texas Southern University's KTSU and Magic 102 KMJQ in Houston. She's a big fan of The Wizard of Oz and the tv show, Sex in the City. Tami works afternoon drive at the Stevie Wonder station.

Mac DONELL, Bruce: KFWB, 1968, nd. Award winning veteran broadcast newsman Bruce MacDonell, who was based in Tokyo for nearly 20 years, died after a brief illness in Burbank on March 19, 1999. He was 60.

Bruce began in radio as a go-fer” at WXYZ-Detroit, for “The Lone Ranger.” He began his real career as a news writer for CKLW radio and tv. In 1958 he joined WXYZ/TV, writing everything from occasional comedy patter for funnyman Soupy Sales to a number of award-winning documentaries. In 1959 he began a five-year odyssey as head-writer for NBC’s International Showtime, traveling to just about every corner of the earth. It was with this program that he developed his infatuation with Asia.

In 1964 he joined Westinghouse Broadcasting at all-News WINS-New York. He was transferred to L.A.  at KFWB when it went all-News. Later he became news director at KDKA/TV-Pittsburgh and by the early 1970s was executive producer for NBC News based in L.A. In 1978 he was appointed gm for news at NBC, serving first in Hong Kong and then Tokyo. He was in charge of eight NBC bureaus. In 1986 Bruce formed Global Net Productions, the only full-service, foreign oriented news and documentary production house in Japan.

"Bruce was one hell of a journalist, one hell of a man," said colleague Herb Humphries. "I've known him since we worked together at WINS and I feel my long time friendship with Bruce was one of the highlights of my life."

Greg Tantum, former KFWB executive editor and program director remembered Bruce. "He loved talking about KFWB and his love for the team during those early years of the format burned brightly. While it made me feel proud to be part of such a legacy it also served as an incredible challenge to create [re-create] the tight family environment in which the early team worked and played."

MacLEOD, Doug: KLON, 1997 and 2001-02; KKJZ, 2002-05. Doug hosted "Nothin' But the Blues" at the Long Beach jazz station, KKJZ, until the summer of 2005 when he devoted his time to touring.

MACHADO, Kevin: KCBS, 1993-96; KOLA, 1999-2011. Kevin grew up in Eureka and graduated from Santa Barbara High School. He played in the same backfield at Santa Barbara as Randall Cunningham. "I was a slow footed fullback, but a tough blocker." While working on an oil rig in Texas, Kevin saw a broadcasting ad in the Houston Post and thus was born his radio career. After graduation he paid his dues beginning in 1984 at KBLF-Red Bluff, KOSO-Modesto, KYOS-Merced and KREO-Santa Rosa. "I was in my Santa Rosa apartment reading a book written by Rick Sklar, the legendary pd of WABC-New York, and the phone rings. It's Rick offering me an opportunity at Braiker Satellite Radio Service in Seattle." Braiker didn't make it. "My opinion of Rick Sklar didn't change one bit. In fact, if anything my respect grew for the man."

After the Seattle experience, Kevin joined United Broadcasting in Washington, DC and Cleveland and then went on to KZXY (“Y-102”)-Victorville and KJFX-Fresno. His last move before arriving in the Southland was KGBY (“Y-92”)-Sacramento. Kevin got a call from KCBS pd Tommy Edwards and thought it was a cruel joke. "It turned out to be legit and believe it or not I took the job not knowing what the format would be." Kevin worked the evening shift on "Arrow 93" and in 1996 went to KPLA (“The Planet”)-San Diego. He has been with KOLA-Inland Empire since 1999 and is currently the evening jock.

He combined his experience as a former league soccer player in Asia with his broadcasting skills, to become an internationally known soccer commentator. Mario did various tv assignments at KNXT/Channel 2 (now KCBS). A particular favorite in the Asian-American community, he was frequently invited to serve as emcee or host of different fund-raising and community functions.

Later he built his own radio station on the campus of Simi Valley High School. Over the years he has worked for a number of Southern California stations.

MacKINNON, Don: KABC, 1957-60; KLAC, 1963-64; KFWB, 1964-65. Don worked at KEWB-San Francisco between L.A. jock assignments. He was killed in an automobile crash in Malibu in June of 1965. His brother Doug was contacted by the management of KFWB and was offered Don's noon-to-3 shift in order to perpetuate a popular broadcasting name; Doug declined. Chuck Blore remembered Don: "The best one of all and there's no question about it. He had an incredible brain, you never ever heard him say anything that didn't matter. He was very, very funny about things which mattered."

"On Thanksgiving night in 1988, Rhonda Kramer hired me to do traffic for L-A Network, which covered a couple of stations, including KFWB. After a year or so, I worked with her husband, Kenny Green, in establishing the Radio Sports Network," said Clark. His title was director of operations. "At the Radio Sports Network, our first event was getting the radio rights for the Mike Tyson-Frank Bruno fight. We only had two weeks to put EVERYTHING together. This included selling it, getting stations and securing talent. We hired boxing play-by-play genius Rich Marotta and commentator from Las Vegas, Seat Williams, to do the show. Kenny actually dealt with Don King to get the radio rights. He then met with Premiere Radio, who did the selling and cleared the stations. It worked [it was on KNX locally] but it was too much to get advertisers excited about a monthly boxing card, especially with a lot of money earmarked for the World Cup that year. So we decided to do the same thing, but in Spanish. That worked for a while, but after Tyson lost and the start of the recession cooled down the project, I left for steady work at KCBS/fm," said Clark.

When KCBS/fm switched to "Arrow 93" in the fall of 1993, Clark stayed on as morning show producer, first for Gary Moore and then Joe Benson. Clark was also music director at "Arrow 93."

Chuck had been recovering from a series of strokes and shortly before his death he was diagnosed with leukemia. “Chuck’s warm and personable style of sports reporting was heard most recently here on KNX – in fact he’s worked at this station twice in his career as well other top Los Angeles stations, including KABC, KMPC and Fox Sports Radio,” said KNX/KFWB program director Andy Ludlum.

Born in Rochester, Chuck grew up in Dallas. He graduated with a chemistry degree from Spring Hill college in Alabama. He later studied film and television production and editing at UCLA. Before joining Southland radio, Chuck worked in Louisiana, Joplin, WFAA-Dallas, Huron, South Dakota, KMBY and KIDD-Monterey and KXRX-San Jose. Prior to joining KNX in 1999, he was the morning drive sports reporter and feature reporter on the "Ken Minyard & Peter Tilden Show" on KABC, and the "Peter Tilden & Tracey Miller Show" on 710/KMPC. From 1990 to 1992 he was the weekly NBA correspondent for the BBC in London. In the summer of 1999, he subbed for the retiring Fred Gallagher and eventually landed a full-time sports slot.

“I had such a blast turning L.A. Country radio on its ear with what I like to term ‘honky-talk’ [Country music and talk radio] on afternoons at the radio home of the LA Lakers, KLAC.” He went on to be a tv star in Canada. "I'm happy to have dual citizenship, as my Sioux ancestors were citizens of North America, as I wish to be," said Johnny. "And if my ancestors knew I was a MacHead, they'd be laughing mighty loud."

"Honestly, my whole career was built upon a series of lucky breaks and circumstance. When I started doing radio in South Dakota, we were broadcasting out of a double-wide trailer with a listenership of a few hundred, maybe less. There was never a plan, never a design, but somehow I got a few breaks and things progressed — and that's my career."

An early heart attack, just like his father. Disbelief, then stunned support for his wife Roberta, and daughters Andrea, Mychal, Jamie, and Stephanie. The online tributes reverberated throughout the southland, particularly in Orange County, where viewers of the defunct Orange County News Channel, students and colleagues at Chapman University, and fellow broadcasters like me at AirWatch had come to know Bruce. We knew him on television and as a news anchor on KFI. More recently, he had helped raise money for military vets and others through charity poker events. We knew his smile and vivaciousness and his unfailing support for his synagogue. Bruce's Facebook page remains active, updated by family. The tragic announcement just before his birthday last summer included this understatement: He was loved by many and will be missed by all who knew him. (Written by Steve Julian)

The new year was hardly a few days old when we lost one of the most beloved sports broadcasters we have ever known. And so young. His USC basketball partner, Jim Hefner, said of Rory: “Rory had a sense of humor that was contagious and boy, did you want to be around him when he laughed and joked. He always had a story. He was the kind of guy you wanted to be around. He was never a downer. He was always big time up and that’s what made him so popular.”

“The first thing I remember about Rory was him blowing out my ear. He opened his mic and in a very loud and energetic voice, said, ‘Hi, everybody, this is Rory Markas along with Terry Smith at Tempe Diablo Stadium.’ He blew out my equipment on the very first day,” said Darren Chan, producer/engineer. “That was the energy Rory broadcast at and he never let down. Rory’s energy was there from day one.” 

Tim Mead, vp of communications for the Angels, was on the committee to pick the Angels broadcast team prior to the 2002 season. “There were over 130 individuals that applied for those two positions. Reflecting back, I know that the committee made the correct decision in selecting Rory.”

Rory’s Angels radio broadcast partner Terry Smith talked about his colleague and friend. “Rory had an incredible wit. Not really a joke teller but a guy who always said funny things and put a smile on your face. He lived by a Golden Rule – treat people the way you would like to be treated – and that’s the way he lived his life, no ifs, ands or buts about it. He was a great partner. God bless you, Rory.”

I had every stringer and available newsman working around the clock. We had built a bank of actualities that back-to-back ran 7 straight hours. KRLA was the last station to revert to regular programming.” 

Bill was born in California and raised in Alhambra and worked for Armed Forces radio from 1945 to 1953. “When I got out of the service I had no idea where I wanted to work so I joined an Army buddy in Erie, Pennsylvania and started my commercial radio career.”

MOORE, Billy: KKDJ, 1972; KRTH, 1972-73; KGIL, 1974-75; KIQQ, 1974; KUTE, 1975-76. Billy died of pneumonia on August 4, 2005. He was 62.

Billy was the morning man at Rocker KKDJ in 1972 and a veteran of KRTH, KGIL, KIQQ and KUTE during the 1970s. “He was my mentor and one of my closest friends,” said Jeff McNeal. “His production skills were remarkable, but no more remarkable than his own talent, and his willingness to share that talent and pass on all he knew to his crew of new air personalities in the making."

Billy was the voice of Drake/Chenault, doing VO work all over the world, including Japan, where he recorded announcements phonetically. A lot of talent has been described as having 'the voice of God,' but Billy truly embodied that quality. He had an amazing voice, and right up to the end, was the image voice for many radio stations across the country."  

Born in 1942 in Chattanooga, Billy came to the Southland to work morning drive at KKDJ from Don Burden's KOIL-Omaha where he was Bobby Noonan. After his time on L.A. radio, in 1981 he headed to Chicago as the ad campaign manager and copywriter for a local agency and then moved to Zionsville, Indiana. He built an in-home studio where he performed his voiceover work, station imaging liners and promos for radio and tv stations, as well as Moore On Hold, an on-hold message service for business telephone systems. Three years ago he moved to Florida where he died of pneumonia after fighting a lengthy illness.

MORGAN, Robert W.: KHJ, 1965-71 and 1972-73; KIQQ, 1973-75; KMPC, 1975-84; KMGG, 1984-86; KMPC, 1986-92; KRTH, 1992-98. Robert W. has burrowed his way into a magical place as the quintessential morning man over the decades in Los Angeles radio, beginning in the mid-1960s. It wasn't always that way. "I decided that being a disc jockey was a lot more fun than spending the rest of my life in a courtroom." The world may have lost a lawyer, but it gained arguably one of the top three morning jocks during the second half of this century.

Robert, born in Mansfield, Ohio on July 23, 1942, was the original morning "Boss Jock" at the Drake/Chenault-consulted "93/KHJ." "I knew I was destined to be in radio when I realized my parents’ initials were AM and FM (Arthur and Florence Morgan)." He arrived in Southern California from KEWB-San Francisco. In 1967, Billboard published that Robert was voted 5th most popular disc jockey and the best in morning drive. During this time, he and his fellow jocks were surprised by a poll taken at one of the Teenage Fairs. "They asked the kids who they were most influenced by. Disc jockeys came in third behind parents and teachers. It stunned all of us. My job had always been a question of just having fun. After that, I became more responsible. I think it placed subconscious pressure on us." Robert hosted ABC's In Concert series, the Helen Reddy Show and KHJ/Channel 9's Groovy program.

His morning signature at KHJ was "Zap, You're Morganized," which meant that one belonged to a very exclusive club. Even adults found it exhilarating to be "Morganized" as some kind of rite of passage. He made a personality out of his engineer "Fail Safe," manipulating him to the cover of a weekly "Boss 30" survey. In 1970, Robert left KHJ for an opportunity at WIND-Chicago. Wolfman Jack, who was hotter than a pistol at the time, was a guest on his last show. Robert called Wolfman Dick Whittinghill in obvious tribute to the long-running KMPC morning man. The irony of his reference to Whittinghill wouldn't be felt immediately. When he signed off he thanked Bill Drake, the Big Kahuna, and played Frank Sinatra's recording of the Rod McKuen song A Few More Cities. After the Windy City experience, Morgan returned to KHJ in 1972. In October of 1975, a once-in-a-generation job opened at KMPC, and Robert took it. His first assignment was a split shift on Sundays, as well as back-stopping KMPC sports events and filling in for the weekday staff.

His move to KMPC seemed strange on the surface. There must have been a hidden agenda or a promise of a shift in order for the superstar morning man to settle for a Sunday split shift. Robert told James Brown of the LA Times that there were no promises when he joined KMPC. A few people did wonder how he'd handle the situation, but he said that he adjusted before he got there. To signal the new era, after 30 years of "Whittinghill in the Morning," Robert became the new morning drive personality on August 6, 1979. He started his first morning with Gene Autry blasting out Back in the Saddle Again. "I've worked every shift known to radio at KMPC but I like this the best. I've always thought of myself as a morning man." Robert has also hosted a number of syndicated radio shows, including "Record World" and "Robert W. Morgan's Special of the Week," which was syndicated by Watermark. While at "Magic 106" his morning partners were Joni Caryl and St. Louis sports guy Scott St. James, who moved to "Magic" from KMPC.

By 1992, all the "Boss Radio" fans were listening to "K-Earth 101" and Robert's morning move to the Oldies station seemed like a seamless decision and a very comfortable fit. In early 1994, Robert was inducted into the National Broadcasters Hall of Fame. In 1993 he received a Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. "Unfortunately the Star is in storage until MetroLink finishes construction on Hollywood Blvd."

In late May 1997, Robert announced that he had lung cancer, perhaps due to being a two-pack-a-day smoker for 35 years before quitting in 1996. In an emotional on-air statement he said he was taking some time off work to fight the disease full time. He retired from KRTH on January 9, 1998, with a three-hour on-air tribute from the Museum of TV & Radio broadcast live. Los Angeles Mayor Richard Riordan, who announced that a city street will be named after Morgan, was part of the festivities. Robert was presented with a replica of the Hollywood Boulevard Star that bears his name. On hand: Dick Clark, Chuck Blore, Coach John Robinson, Ernest Borgnine, movie critic David Sheehan, and Let’s Make a Deal’s Monty Hall. Industry peers including Gene Chenault, Ed Arnold, Frank Terry, Bill Ward, Ken Levine, Shotgun Tom Kelly, Jay Coffey, Bill Pearl, Sharon Katchen, Bobby Ocean and Charlie Tuna. The event was MC’ed by Joni Caryl and Gary Owens. Robert passed away May 22, 1998. He was 60.
