Former KGW Radio-TV Personality, Red Robinson who graced Portland air waves 45 years ago, is still going strong in his old stomping grounds. This from all access:

-------------Red Robinson Moves To 104.9 Clear FM/Vancouver------------

The reimaging and a lineup shuffle at STANDARD RADIO Oldies CISL-A/VANCOUVER mean that market legend RED ROBINSON is moving his weekend "RED ROCK DINER" show to crosstown ROGERS AC CKCL (104.9 CLEAR FM) after 14 years at CISL, according to NORTHWEST BROADCASTERS. The show will air 6p-midnight PT SATURDAYS.

Back at CISL, which has reimaged as "SUPERHITS 650 CISL," market veteran DOC HARRIS takes over 2-6p weekdays starting MONDAY, with CASEY WHITE heading for evenings and weekends.

Here's some links for some 1959 Red Robinson KGW audio from my website:

Here's Red's "goodbye to Portland" as he exits for US Armed Services duty, even though he was still a Canadian citizen:

I wonder who is the current longest-running on-air personality in the US? This guy's gotta be close to the record.

I didnt realize KGW took a turn into Contemporary'top 40' back in 59' and 60'. Was this a dayparted show or was it a complete format on 'channel 62'??

Go to Robin's website for a very complete answer to your question and just about any others you may have! http://www.rma1.com
