THE ROBERT W. MORGAN BOSSOGRAPHY PAGE 5

In October of 1975, a once-in-a-lifetime job opened up at legendary 710 KMPC. One of the two staff announcer positions on the station had just become available.

KMPC Building on Sunset Blvd.

1975 KMPC Staff

Robert’s first assignment was a split-shift on the weekends, and filling in for the superstar weekday staff.
Dick Whittinghill	Although, on the surface, it seemed strange that this major market morning man would accept such a position, his hunch certainly paid off. On August 6, 1979 Robert W. took over for another 30-year morning radio legend, Dick Whittinghill.	Appropriately enough, He started his first show with station owner Gene Autry’s signature song, "Back In The Saddle Again"…

It was there at KMPC that he formed the GOOD MORGAN TEAM…an ensemble group of full service radio professionals, featuring music, news, weather, traffic and sports.

During that same period of time, Robert W. simultaneously co-hosted KNBC-TV Channel 4’s "Everywhere" show…A program that spoke with and to EVERYONE…EVERYWHERE.

His first stay at KMPC provided several format changes… including an unlikely transition to talk radio in the early 80’s. A consummate professional, Robert W. met the challenge… proving to be one of the best "talkers" in the biz, and had the best ratings on the station.

His perfect pipes and extensive musical knowledge made him the ideal announcer on Paramount’s "SOLID GOLD"…
A position he held for seven successful seasons.
