Gelderhead quote:

KOGO’s traveling man Mark Larson hits the tarmac after his show today — that’s after he has guests that include Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, former Senator George McGovern and Dr. James Dobson. Mark writes: “Now that’s a line up!”
Tomorrow, Mark brings his microphone to the White House in Washington: “I’ll be joined by special newsmaker guests and political insiders with the latest on the critical stakes in the coming election. Prior to the show I’ll be spending much of the morning at the Pentagon.”
Hear Mark starting at noon on KOGO or from the [1] website.
Also, he recommendes the new movie Flags of Our Fathers: “Very powerful, and deserving of bigger box office than it’s getting so far this weekend. Very true to the book by James Bradley and in its depictions of the battle for Iwo Jima. Of course director Clint Eastwood can’t resist some PC applications and spin (and there have been complaints about not enough African-Americans in the film.. there were 900 in the battles), but the personal stories and images are haunting and deeply moving.”
Mark adds: “When Bradley’s book was first released a few years ago he was a guest on my show, discussing why the “Greatest Generation” is so reticent in discussing their experiences in World War II. See the film.. and read the book. Well worth it.” Mark is in the middle of the KOGO lineup from noon-to-3 p.m., and tells me he is always right.

Kelly Cole was honored in September for role as music director at the smooth jazz station. The efforts are paying off. The entire KiFM team made the station as the most listened to station in the summer book. This is the third consecutive year for Kelly to receive the honors.

KFI’s morning mouth, Bill Handel was featured in yesterday’s LA Times. Read it by [2] by clicking here.

Noted: Clear Channel Communications, the owner of KOGO, Star 94.1, Channel 933, KGB, and others … has pulled off-shore listening to their streaming stations. If you are outside of Canada and the U.S., your IP (or computer) address will be blocked from hearing their streams. The rational, according their headquarters, is that the expense of sending the stream overseas is too expensive.

Country on 540: In case you missed it — 540 AM, operated by LA’s Saul Levine, jumped the country fence early last week. The original plan was to kick it off on Saturday. Saul’s AM brother at 1260 remains adult standards. The signal doesn’t reach San Diego proper at all. The only choice for standards is satellite or cable. Stay Tuned.

91X’s Jennifer White writes about what’s up at the alternative spot: “Lately, you may have noticed this infatuation 91X has with Thursdays. Each of these Thursdays involve someone scoring a free trip to see a major 91X band in another city. It started with Killer Thursday, then Incubus Thursday and most recently Beastie Boys Thursday, sending 91X listener Denise Clark to Las Vegas to see the Beastie Boys at The Joint. Well, we’re doing it again this week, and Thursday on 91X will be called Angels and Airwaves Thursday! You will have to listen Monday to find out the city you can win a trip to see A&A at, but here’s a hint: Tiene un pasaporte?

Also at 91X: Resurrection Sunday is a morning wake up call starting at 6 a.m. Steve West takes you down the memory trail all the way until noon. You never know who will show up — like frequent guest Terri Nunn. She is joined by Steve (left) and radio genious Mike Glickenhaus on the right.

Before You Tie the Knot

Everybody Plays the Fool
