The quick-witted Morgan has always been the hardest working
jock in show business
arriving at work in the pre-dawn hours to scour wire services along with local and national newspapers, review prep material and gear up for the days performance.
Like his former program director Ron Jacobs once taught him: Preparation, Concentration and Moderation is the best offense in the battle for the most competitive radio market in the country. |
Roberts impeccable sense of timing, acerbic wit and his unique ability to talk one-on-one to his audience for over four decades has earned him the title of being a "jocks jock". | |
He has influenced generations of radio people worldwide striving to be a cut above the rest. |
For the millions of Los Angeles listeners who, for over three decades, have started their day with a "Good Morgan", Robert W. Morgan's retirement marks the end of an era and a way of life. |
Morning drive radio will never be the same without the man weve grown to love and respect as the BEST BOSS JOCK IN THE BIZ !
ROBERT W. MORGAN
