For several years in the 1970s, Ken Levine was a extremely fast and funny major market disc jockey, often using the air name "Beaver Cleaver". He worked at KERN Bakersfierld; KMEN, San Bernadino; and WDRO, Detroit. In 1974, Ken moved back West again to KYA San Francisco.

Originally from Southern CA, Ken returned in the mid 70's for stints in San Diego at KSEA and B-100, and in LA at KIQQ, KTNQ, KHTZ and KFI.

But his career had just begun. In the next thirty years, Ken Levine became an Emmy winning writer/director/producer - as well as a major league baseball announcer. Ken has been the radio/TV play-by-play voice of the Baltimore Orioles, Seattle Mariners and the San Diego Padres. Currently he is the host of Dodger Talk after every Dodger game on Talkradio 790 KABC, Los Angeles.

In TV, Ken wrote, edited and/or directed for MASH, CHEERS, FRASIER, THE SIMPSONS, WINGS, EVERYBODY LOVES RAYMOND, BECKER, DHARMA & GREG, and he co-created his own series: ALMOST PERFECT starring Nancy Travis. He and his partner wrote the feature VOLUNTEERS.
