The GelderHead Thought Of The Day: Music is your own experience, your thoughts, your wisdom. If you don’t live it, it won’t come out your horn. ~Charlie Parker
CBS Radio’s KyXy-FM is pleased to welcome Kris Toledo as the new full-time host of “Love Songs” weeknights from 7 to midnight, live in studio. Kris was promoted from within, having served as the host of weekend “Love Songs” on KyXy since 2004.
Before joining KyXy, Kris was a movie and music production executive representing companies in New York, Los Angeles and London. She was a Radio & Television major at Palomar College and SDSU, eventually turning her sights on a career in radio. Kris enjoys a growing list of appearances in both radio and TV commercials as well.
Romance is no stranger to Kris. She was engaged to the man who would become her husband on a romantic trip to coastal Spain. Speaking about the North County Firefighter-Paramedic, Kris remembers…“I knew he was it for me! San Diego’s been a very lucky move for me when it comes to love. Now I have the chance to give something back to the listeners of KyXy Love Songs.”
Kris replaces syndicated host John Tesh with “Love Songs” originating live from KyXy’s studios 7-nights a week beginning tonight.
A decision on a permanent weekend Love Songs host will be announced over the next 30 days.
The all-star radio broadcast team for Super Bowl XLI will feature Marv Albert, Boomer Esiason, John Dockery, Bonnie Bernstein, Jim Gray and Tommy Tighe. Former NFL MVP Boomer Esiason will broadcast for both radio and television fulfilling the role of color commentator for Westwood One’s Super Bowl broadcast, as well as contributing to the pre game, halftime and post game shows on CBS Television.
“We’ll have Boomer scrambling more than he did as an NFL quarterback,” quipped David Halberstam, EVP/GM of Westwood One Sports. ”Knowing Boomer, he won’t be at a loss for words no matter where he is. Our producer Howard Deneroff will have him wired as he scurries from the booth, to the elevator and onto the field.”
Super Bowl XLI airs live from Dolphin Stadium in Miami on Sunday. Pre-game coverage begins at noon, followed by kickoff at approximately 3:25 p.m.
Ken Copper (left)is alive and well living in beautiful North County San Diego. After KPOP popped into Air America, Ken has been playing pool and keeping his wit sharp. Now read all about at Ken’s blogspot at KenCopper.BlogSpot.com. For example, Ken writes about the over-use of cell phones in the public: “My hunch is that the people who love their phones have NOTHING important to relay via their wireless appendage and are merely so bored they cannot stand to be alone with themselves.” Stop by and leave your comments as well.
Noted: Ken recommends Something In the Air: Radio, Rock, and the Revolution That Shaped a Generation. The book traces the evolution of radio from the 1950s — when the spread and popularity of television made it almost extinct, to its rise to become “the sound track of American life” and “the mere act of listening made you feel like a part of a secret society.” Ken says he “can’t put the book down”.
Jennifer White, part of the award winning morning show at 91X shares on the station’s web site, a retro-pic. Jennifer writes: “91X listeners and US Marines, Gabe and Josh asked Chris (Cantore) to send some photos of me to Iraq. Chris said yes…I said, only with a little professional help!” She did get the help and you can see more from the 91X page or by clicking Restless-souls.com.
Thank you Jennifer! Bombs Away Dream Baby, to quote musician John Stewart.
Leo Laporte, weekend host at KFI-AM, takes his computer show national on Saturday, Feb. 17. Leo told his AM 640 audience yesterday that nothing will change in the content. During his three hour broadcast, Leo fields calls from the U.S. and Canada as the computer advise specialist has many listeners on KFI’s audio stream.
Premiere Radio will take the show national. The time slot of 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. is expected to be the same.
