Ted was one
of the original KFWB Color Radio/Channel 98 jocks from 1958, died April 20,
2011. He had been in ill health for a number of years. He was 81. In
addition to three years at KFWB, T.Q. was a veteran from KRLA, KEZY, KFI,
KFOX and XPRS. T.Q.’s mantra was look out for
"Blue Skies and Green Lights." Ted had been living in Las Vegas.
Chuck Blore, the iconic legend who
launched KFWB, said, “Ted used to work the midnight shift in the beginning.
He would play a lot of Sinatra records between 2 and 4 a.m. when nobody was
listening. We had a music policy that could be broken every now and then but
not as much as Ted was doing. One night there’s a knock at the door at
KFWB. It was a pizza man announcing a delivery from Frank. Ted asked, “Who
Frank?” The delivery guy said, ‘Sinatra.’ He told me about it the next
morning and I asked why he was playing all that Sinatra music but that’s my
favorite Quillin story. All the other guys worked three hours and he had a
six-hour shift, so I gave him a little lee-way.” Born on February 17, 1930,
in Oklahoma City, he left Oklahoma City when he was 13 and lived in Denver,
Lubbock and El Paso before graduating from the Texas College of Mines and
Metallurgy (now UTEP). It was at KELP-El Paso that his fortunes leapfrogged
him to California. "During the all-night time, Chuck didn't listen too
closely, so I flavored the rock music with lots of blues; in fact, I called
it Blues for Breakfast," said Ted when interviewed for Los Angeles
Radio People. It was during this time that Ted and Ritchie Valens became
good friends, with Ted becoming sort of a big brother/consultant to Ritchie.
When Elvis got out of the Army, KFWB wanted to bring him to the L.A.
Coliseum, and they asked Ted to help since, Ted knew Elvis. "I was given a
certified check in the amount of $100,000 and flew to Memphis. I hung out
with Elvis for four days at Graceland. Colonel Parker wasn't sure if Elvis
would perform, but we had a good time in Memphis with Elvis." By 1972, Ted
was, as he put it, "at the intersection of walk and don't walk. I had to get
out of the fast lane." During his time in L.A. he appeared in many Warner
Bros. tv series. Ted settled for a slower lane in Las Vegas and immediately
went to work at KORK, where he was the morning star on radio and host of the
afternoon tv movie. He eventually opened his own advertising agency, which
he ran for 20 years. He taught “The History of Advertising and
Communication” for years at Las Vegas City College. His communication
motivation seminars were successful for decades: "Learn one magic trick that
will change your life, personally and financially, forever.” Always
optimistic, T.Q. summed up his life, saying, "The road to success is always
under construction."
