Bid bye-bye to Bean

Gene "Bean" Baxter, who has hosted mornings with Kevin Ryder at Los Angeles alternative rock station KROQ since December 31, 1989, announced this morning he will exit the show before the end of the year and return to his native England, where he hopes to land a new radio job. Details will be in the April DecalcoMania.

Chuck Blore, the programmer who oversaw KFWB's switch from MOR to top 40 in January 1958, came up with a promo to convey to listeners that rock'n'roll wasn't just for teenagers -- adults could enjoy it too. Two or three times an hour, listeners heard a young girl declaring that her "mommy listens to KFWB." After six months, KFWB had a 50 share. Of all the people listening to radio at a given moment, 50% of them were listening to KFWB. Wow! Program directors today get excited if their station manages a 5 share! Here is a KFWB bumper sticker from circa 1963:
