I still live in Wyoming, but have traveled the entire U.S. doing my various broadcast positions. I've interviewed senators, congressman, astronauts, sports stars and a lot of great ordinary people. For ten years I traveled with and was game site engineer and road manager for a five person broadcast crew covering the Wyoming Cowboys Football, Basketball and Baseball team. That was a treat."

I grew up going into radio stations on the weekends with my father, Robert E. Lee; played in the production studios and instantly loved the biz. My big break came when I was interviewing at KWBZ. As I sat in the lobby waiting, there was a problem in their production studio and I was asked to see if I could help. Understanding commercial production, one simple flick of a switch, the problem was remedied and I was immediately hired. Crazy right? Once on the air, I thought to myself WOW, I actually get paid to do this? Simply Incredible. It all started at KWBZ "The Nifty 1150" producing talk radio and getting some air time where I was known as "Johnny the Whip Lee" & "The Beach Boy of BZ" prior to the format change over from talk to oldies when the call letters became KRZN (Cruisin). The rest as they say is history."

When I first got to KHJ it was KKHJ, the KHJ callsign having been given up in the 1980s. Being both a radio historian and a former listener to Boss Radio, I, with the owner's blessing, attempted the impossible: To have the FCC reissue the KHJ callsign. Using the argument that saying KKHJ is offensive if said in Spanish (since KK in Spanish is pronounced "caca"), the FCC agreed and effective March 15, 2000, for the first time in nearly 40 years, issued a three-letter callsign, KHJ."

Now: Charlene says (1/04), "I'm midday host at Adult Contemporary KBEZ-FM, Tulsa, Oklahoma. It was hard to get used to having to answer to someone again and to playing music on CD and carted commercials (didn't know anybody still played ANYTHING on cart). Now I'm loving it and really having a great time."

KFYI [Phoenix AZ] 198?
K??? [Los Angeles CA] 19??
WRKO [Boston] 1993
KLSX [Los Angeles CA] 1999
Now: 3-8 p.m. at Talk KLSX, Los Angeles (and nationally syndicated on some 200 stations). Don in Boston comments, "Tom Leykus was at WRKO in 1993 ... He did a show while there on the topic of how the 'right' was taking over Talk radio; he attributed it to station owners seeking to cut payrolls by buying subscription services and syndicated programming (like Rush Limbaugh) and to a trend toward political litmus tests for on-air talent for the purposes of catching some of the Rush audience. He also said that he knew talk-show hosts who were changing their names and their approach to issues from 'liberal' to 'conservative' to get or keep their jobs. Interesting how prophetic his words were."
