Back in the mid 60s, a brand new format and a whole new style of presentation came on the air in Los Angeles. It was a style that was to go on and influence the Pirate ships broadcasting to the UK as well as a huge number of stations in later years (wherever CHR was sold)!
It was called Boss Radio.
Some of the legendary guys from that era include The Real Don Steele and Robert W. Morgan. Steele was to become the best known voice of the Boss format and is seen by many as the template for the early CHR presentation style: tight, energetic and individual.
Well, Boss Radio is back...KHJ is online now at http://www.khjradio1.com/
Broadcasting from Boss Angeles, I took a listen to the streaming feed for an hour or so and heard the massive 60s and 70s hits that made the station famous...but for some reason they also included 50s songs. The 50s was never a part of Boss Radio...but we'll see how that works.
No live jocks yet though - that would be the business !
This clip is Robert W. Morgan on KHJ. Sounds corny now, but back in the day, this was awesome.

Tight links, loud and energetic jocks and just the hits.
