KFI's Handel Nominated For Nobel Peace Prize
Tiernan
So Maybe Karel, Bill W.? Copie or Jim Gabbert?
Bill Handel
What does it mean to be nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize? Not as much
as some would think: after much was made by his supporters of convicted
murderer and gang founder STANLEY "TOOKIE" WILLIAMS' nomination for the
prize for his jailhouse conversion to peace and writing childrens'
books, CLEAR CHANNEL Talk KFI-A/LOS ANGELES morning man BILL HANDEL
managed to get himself nominated for the same prize.
HANDEL, along with afternoon hosts JOHN AND KEN and evening host JOHN
ZIEGLER, has been critical of the efforts by celebrities and
anti-death-penalty activists to get WILLIAMS, the founder of the
notorious CRIPS gang, clemency from his upcoming lethal injection for
his part in four murders.
The host, who was nominated by an unnamed U.S. Congressperson, said in a
statement "I am deeply honored to be placed amongst the august company
of other Peace Prize nominees such as ADOLF HITLER, JOSEF STALIN, BENITO
MUSSOLINI, and STANLEY 'TOOKIE' WILLIAMS.”

The only unnamed person in the article is identified as a "U.S.
Congressperson," so it couldn't have been any of those guys.

I first met Leo when he worked at KLOK, somewhat before he was a
computer guru. He has a lot of experience with "here".

He was also a DJ at KNBR for quite some time, while hanging out at
Computerland on Market near Castro, apparently buying all the goodies.
The manager knew him quite well. So that wouuld be, what, 27 years
ago? (yipes)

But that's the reverse of what I said LA to here, not here to LA.....you
should see some of the TV anchors in LA.....they probably broke into
programming to announce rain in the Santa Clara Valley (that's the one
which runs from Ventura to Santa Clarita, along the Santa Clara River.

Thinking back on the history of radio, I can only think of people who
worked in SF who made it big in LA, but not the reverse.
Among Bay Area DJs, personalities, & talkshow hosts to make it in LA:
Michael Jackson
Bill Ballance
Don Steele
Casey Kasem
Robert W Morgan
Tom Campbell (well....)
Pat Michaels (though he shifted into sales)
and now Carson Daly
As for the reverse, nobody comes to mind at the moment.

And station management.

I first knew Carson Daly when he worked at an AM-FM (the company, not
the bands) station in San Bernardino county. He left there to work at
KOME.

Interesting note about musical tastes and such, Carson Daly is
considered to have his finger on the pulse of hot music. Notice that
Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, a swing band, is the most featured guest band on
his show.
Again I say unto the skeptics: It's in the marketing, good music is
good music, regardless of the era.
