Scott
O’Neil loves the standards! He says “I have had the privilege
of playing and enjoying the Great American Songbook, and great
stars, my entire radio career. From his broadcasting origins
in Raleigh, North Carolina, where he started on WRAL-TV, Channel
5, he joined the Air Force for a four year stretch in Armed
Forces Radio & TV. After moving to Los Angeles to work for
CBS, Scott attended UCLA as a journalism major before joining
the legendary KGIL-AM 1260 in 1969. During his thirty years
in Los Angeles, Scott was on the air for 20 years on Gene
Autry’s flagship station for Golden West Broadcasters AM 710
KMPC, alongside such broadcasting legends as Chuck Southcott,
Gary Owens and Wink Martindale. He worked as an announcer
for the CBS Television network and KTLA channel 5, Tribune
Broadcasting as well as serving as a national commercial voice-over
artist and TV spokesman.
Chuck
Southcott has been presenting the great standards both
locally and nationally for his entire career. Chuck has been
a dominant force in Los Angeles radio for a quarter of a century.
He’s been both Program Director and air personality at KGIL,
KPRZ, KMPC, KJQI, KKJZ and KKLA in Los Angeles and has worked
with such stellar talents as Robert W. Morgan, Wink Martindale,
Gary Owens, Charlie Tuna, Jim Lange, “Sweet Dick” Whittington,
Dick Whittinghill and Peter Marshall, among others.
Carl
Hapton was born into a radio family. It didn't take him
too long to embrace the world of radio himself and has been
working in the business since 1981. Early on, he was a producer
for the nationally syndicated Bill Balance Show and a sound
man and voice-over talent on various television productions.
For 12 years Carl served as Operations Manager for the Music
Of Your Life at Jones Radio Networks. As Operations Manager
and morning host, Carl was instrumental in MOYL's success.
With the hands-on approach he takes to develop and maintain
relationships with affiliates, Carl helped to expand MOYL's
station count from six to well over 170 affiliates nationwide
in a short time. Under his watch, the format was heard in
major markets including Washington DC, Sacramento, Los Angeles
and Seattle among others. Since early in 2007, Karl has been
an integral on-air member of two highly rated AC station morning
show teams for Entercom in Denver, KOSI-101 and Alice 105-9.
In
a career spanning over three decades, Jim Raposa has
built a solid reputation as a top-notch personality at great
radio stations like: WPRO/Providence; WODS/Boston; KXOA, KNCI
and KHYL, all in Sacramento, just to name a few. As a comedy
writer/performer and producer, Jim has been featured on various
syndicated services and great morning shows including Rick
Dees, CBS Radio and even with legendary New York City radio
personality, Cousin Brucie Morrow.
As
an air talent, Jim has received numerous awards from fellow
broadcasters in recognition of his unique ability to develop
compelling and entertaining short and long form syndicated
radio specials and programming: including syndicated projects
on The Beatles, Mel Torme, Nat King Cole and his long-running
show “Frank & Friends”, spotlighting the music and career
of Frank Sinatra. In 1996, The California Legislature Assembly
honored Jim on his record of achievements in the broadcast
industry and display of community service.
Steve
Cassidy has been playing our kind of music ever since
he worked for KFKA, a classic Pop/Standards station back in
the 80s. Steve was a student at the time, taking classes at
the University of Northern Colorado. After recognizing his
calling, he put his academic career on hold to pursue a radio
career. "I guess I'm still working my way through school after
all these years." Steve has been one of Denver's top rated
personalities for the last 20 years as a drive time host for
Shamrock Broadcasting, CBS Radio, Tribune Radio and Entercom.
His upbeat style and quick wit have earned him numerous fans
and many broadcasting awards over the years, including several
Colorado Broadcasters Awards for Best Entertainment Show and
two AIR awards for top afternoon drive personality.
