The late 70's provided some of the most talented personalities on Top 40 radio, the battle between KKUA and KORL gave us these great jocks to listen to.

İ KKUA
5-10amİ Ron Jacobs with Keala Kai
10-2pmİ Mister Mellow Lane Robinson
2-7pmİİİ Michael W. Perry
7-12amİ Kamasami Kong
Fri 10-12amİ Steve "Blind Date Boogie" Clarke
Overnitesİ Ed Kanoi

İ KORL
6-10amİ Lan Roberts
10-2pmİ Lou Richards
2-6pmİİİ Sweet Charlie Baby
6-10pmİİ Captain Cooke (Dan Cooke)
10-2amİİ Jan Foxx
2-6amİİİİ Wili Moku

İ What a time it was to listen to radio.İ Aku in the mornings as well as Tom Dynamite Dancer on K108.

İ Then Michael W. Perry left to go do afternoons at KSSK and was replaced by Lee Baby Simms and KKUA was headed to the toilet.İ KORL pd Dave Shaw shot himself and Lan Roberts took over as Pd and really ran that to the ground.İ Just in time for KIKI to take over with another great lineup of jocks.

İ KIKI AM
5-10amİ Ron Wiley withİ Professor Dick Barr
10-3pmİ Noel Grey (The ambasador of smiles)
3-7pmİİİ Tony the Tiger Taylor
7-12amİİ Steve Blind Date Boogie Clarke
12-5 amİİ Wonderful Wendy

İ Later Frank Shaner did 2am to 6am and was called by Red Skelton "the most talented man in radio"İ he later moved to the afternoon slot.İ KIKI was managed by Jeff Coelho and later programmed by Kamasami Kong, until FM radio took over.

Thanks Tom for sharing your memories!
