Brian was the PD who hired me at KXL in 1986. (His title was technically Operations Manager) He left in August of 1988 to become Program director of KING-AM. (Jeff Grimes was News Director at KXL when I was there. He became PD when Brian left)I believe Brian replaced Larry Roberts at KXL, moving from the ND gig.

Many years ago...around 1990 maybe....I ran into the sales manager of KXL at a computer parts/service place on the corner of Airport Way and 148th and we had a discussion. He said he would love to have both Rush Limbaugh and Dr. Laura because they were easy sells at the time and he could do well with them.
I don't remember the name of the place but the building is still there but the computer place has been gone a long long time.

To answer two questions in one. It was Larry Roberts who most likely hired Lars (his first KXL gig) & Jim Bickel. Larry was PD at the time.

Craig--

Larry Roberts was Operations Director in the early 1980's...(And a talk moderator on the air daily on KXL-AM mornings 9-12noon... Brian Jennings was News Director (I believe he is the one who hired Lars in 1980-1981 as a street reported for KXL)

I was working their at the time with Jim Bickel doing weekends in the 1982 time frame...

Ray Watson was GM and I believe still owned by Kaye-Smith....(Danny Kaye the entertainer)

Tom: Yes! Your probably right. Lars at the time wasn't doing a talk show. He was the afternoon news guy with Alan Budwill 3-6pm. Lars was hired by KXL on 2-18-80.
