Soon thereafter Bob started a radio profession which eventually required him western to LA and got him each day drive slot machine at CBS powerhouse KNX, where he became referred to as “The Ruler of the LA Airwaves”. His display was not just wildly successful, it had been revolutionary. Bob packed the broadcast booth with wry wit and charisma, not forgetting drums, chimpanzees, and celebrities. His display was the number-one-rated morning hours show in LA and Hollywood’s biggest celebrities were regular guests on his display: Marilyn Monroe, Ronald Reagan, Jayne Mansfield, Mary Tyler Moore, Bob Wish and Frank Sinatra, to mention only a few.
