KRLA 1110 Los Angeles - Bob Dayton - August 10 1969 - Radio Aircheck

For some people, when they hear the name Bob Dayton, they automatically think of the the guy who was fired from WABC in 1965, when he commemorated the twentieth anniversary of the bombing of Hiroshima, by playing The Crests "16 Candles." It was an unfortunate gaffe. Bob’s broadcasting career was so much more than that.

Bob Dayton was a fast, witty jock, came WABC in 1963, from WIL in St Louis, where he worked with Dan Ingram & Ron Lundy. After his two year run at WABC, Bob went to work at 1500 KBLA, and then 1110 KRLA in Los Angeles, but returned to New York a few years later, and spent time on air at 102 WPIX-FM and later 101 WCBS-FM.

In Summer 1982, Bob was supposed to be part of ABC's "SuperRadio" satellite format which was programmed by Rick Sklar, who fired Bob from WABC in 1963, but the service was scrapped before it was launched.

On This aircheck, you’ll hear Bob from his post WABC days, at 1110 KRLA Los Angles, from 1969. Bob landed at KRLA after L.A.'s KBLA, before he returned to New York Radio.

After over 40 years working on the radio, I have recorded lots of radio airchecks, and many from my friends as well.

You'll find audio of many radio personalities who have passed away. Lots radio recordings from the 1940s, through the 2010.

We also talk about radio broadcasting. If you happen to have classic airchecks, maybe even of yourself on the air, we'd love to share it here!

We also share videos about Travel & Cruising. I share tips on how I travel cheaply, so you can do it also! Find me on Facebook:   / ellisairchecks
