Here's Brian Roberts on People Power KYA, San Francisco, in 1974 , |

In the mid 2000's, Brian did some management as Operations Director of 92.7 LITE FM in Thousand Oakes near LA but he couldn't stay away from the microphone and he saw nothing wrong with working 7 days a week. So weekends found Brian Roberts on the Westwood One Oldies Channel with over 150 stations coast to coast. Brian tells many stories about his 33 year career in California radio. Why, here's one now! In the early 2000's, Brian recorded what it was like working at Westwood One at a time of great change in the radio business.... |
