KHJ Los Angeles June 18 1980 music survey with Charlie Fox

Charlie Fox added some class to KHJ in its last days as a Top 40 station. He was there for a brief appearance in 1980 after putting in time at KFI. Before that in the 70's he was at some biggies like CKLW, WRKO and KDWB. In November of 1980, KHJ gave up and flipped to Country. Memo to Charlie: I hope you ditched the clothes back in the 80's...

Billy The Earl was so bummed that he was not included in the KXOA billboard campaign that he bought his own billboard in Old Sacramento. It cost him his life savings but it was totally worth it.
