Miler S PeevesKMPC 710 Talk's banishment of Joe

Crummey and then Tom Leykis is like ateacher kicking out her nonconformist butI rightest students. That leaves two clever andenlightened talkers: Peter Tilden and TraceyMiller in the morning.

Maybe Leykis rubbed in the fact that he's nota "right-wing wacko" so often that station man-agement took the afternoon syndicated star'sshow -opener lines to heart. "That's our ticket toratings! Dump Leykis for another right-wingwacko!" Management claimed they wanted a"more issues -oriented program." Everyoneknows Leykis covers issues just as much asMichael Reagan - except from the left.

Police POVKPFK's "Cop Talk" offers an inside

look at the goings-on of police life withhosts Gil Contreras and KentKeyfauver. They call themselves "theonly politically incorrect Latino ex -copradio show." The call -in talk show on90.7 takes a frank approach to "hot but-ton" issues such as "curbside justice"and high-speed pursuits from a policeofficer's point of view.

Contreras is a drug and alcohol/domestic violence counselor in LongBeach, who served with the L.A. HousingAuthority for seven years. Keyfauver, hisco -host and former co-worker on theforce, is still a police officer. "Cop Talk"currently airs Fridays, 7:30 p.m. to 8P.m.Presidential Word

Tired of "hot button" journalism?National Public Radio has initiated the"NPR Election Project" to encourage vot-ers to step fonvard and articulate theirconcerns on the air. In March, sixSouthland media outlets pooled theirresources for a civic project to let the vot-ers set the agenda rather than the candi-dates.

the day with an emphasis on legal mat-ters. The two hosts discuss a wide rangeof topics: politics, social issues, business,court cases, affirmative action. capitalpunishment and race relations.

Terrell represented the NAACP dur-ing the Rodney King trial and theSimpson case.Ferrall Hits 'Lipstick City'

After sampling Joe Crummey andChuck Woolery, KLSX General ManagerBob Moore announced that sports talkerScott Ferrall of "Ferrall on the Bench"succeeds Motherlove as the station'sevening host.

"It's been my goal to land the showon KLSX for the past year, Ferrall said."Now the millions of sports fans here in'Lipstick City' have a place to meet on aregular basis."

In March XTRA-690 AM dropped theWestwood One syndicated sports hostafter two nights of uninhibited criticism ofthe all -sports station.

Following Princeton's upset overUCLA in the college basketball playoffs,Ferrall was rebuffed in his attempted toreach Coach Jim Herrick for a live inter-view. An enraged Ferrall ranted aboutXTRA's "two listeners" vs. his own legionof 20 million followers tuned in to theother stations hooked up to his show.

XTRA Program Director HowardFreedman suspended Ferrall from the690 lineup and waited to hear if his badboy would stop "trashing" the station.The transcripts of the following night'sbroadcast weren't encouraging.

"The next night he ripped the sta-tion." Freedman said. "And he said.'That oughta put the nails in the coffin.'If he'd dropped the issue, XTRA wouldhave let it go. Firing him was a no-brain-er."

"To Westwood One's credit, theyhired a new producer and are trying tostraighten him out," Freedman added.XTRA replaced Ferrall with JohnKentera and Chris Ello in the 8 p.m. tomidnight slot.

bring decades of reviewing for top-notchpublications to his show.Country Music Rescued?

Radio turnaround king JohnSebastian vowed to "put the music on apedestal" to rescue L.A. County's onlycountry station. Despite the strong salesof country music, KZLA 93.9 FM reachedonly the No. 17 spot in the latestArbitron ratings. Sebastian arrived fromhis lastest programming stop at KSLX-FM in Phoenix in April.

To show L.A. that he means busi-ness, Sebastian quickly cut the amountof commercials played on KZLA to allow45 -minute sets of music - the longest ofany commercial music station in L.A. Hedropped the syndicated overnight showin favor of a live and local DJ, AustinHill, and replaced Max Ryder with vet-eran L.A. Di Brian Roberts in theevening slot.

To keep the station from soundinglike a generic country station that youmight hear anywhere driving betweenhere and Atlanta, Sebastian has startedto tinker with the music. "Country rock"artists such as Lynard Skynard, theEagles and Charlie Daniels may becomestation staples if that's what it takes tograb a bigger audience in the Southland.

VIII the Scene: Scull] [111:SIRECISS1113) 01 Jan

BY SCOTT YANOtVIf jazz is an endangered species,

someone better call Chuck Niles atKLON and tell him to stop talking aboutjazz like it's still new and exciting. Andperhaps they should tell him to stay outof all those clubs where he emcees: and,by all means, stop caring so much aboutjazz. But after 40 years on the air inSouthern California. who's going to tellhim what to think about jazz?

Widely known as the voice of L.A.jazz radio, Chuck Niles is in his sixthyear as afternoon host on KLON, 88.1FM in Long Beach, a public radio stationthat reaches out to greater Los Angeleswith 8.000 watts beaming from a 430 -foot tower. It's L.A.'s only 24 -hour jazzradio station.

"As a broadcaster, he has opened upthe world of jazz to many people allacross Southern California," said KLONProgram Director Scott Willis of hisafternoon announcer. "Our demographicsfor Chuck's show are pretty much acrossthe hoard. He appeals to both youngerlisteners and folks his own age."

KLON is also celebrat-ing a milestone: 15 years ofpreserving jazz as an artform, especially mainstreamacoustic jazz. More than 90percent of the station's 24 -hour programing is music -eight hours a week aredevoted to blues. The non-commercial station can bealso heard on cable in morethan 25 markets in the U.S..and those who have satellitedishes can also tune in to88.1. Only few full-timeradio stations operating inthe country. In the past sixyears, California lost twomajor jazz stations -KKG0 in Los Angeles andKIAZ in San Francisco. InL.A., KXLU, KPCC andKUSC offer a part timemenu of jazz.

KLON's program director explainedthe success of the veteran host of the 3p.m. to 8 p.m. weekday shift.

"He has 40 years of experience inL.A., and Chuck knows everybody,"Willis said. "Usually, when he isannouncing a tune, he has an anecdoteabout the artist who he usually knows ona personal level or has seen recently.Chuck has an incredible voice, and hispopularity is partly due to his personali-ty. What you hear on the air is what heis: There is no put-on."

He has always been much more thanjust a disc jockey: he has led a multifac-eted career in the performing arts.

Born in Springfield, Mass. in 1927,he began as a musician.

"I was weaned on straight -aheadjazz, and it has always had my heart andsoul," Niles said. "My folks gave me aclarinet when I was 7 and later on camethe tenor. I still have an old tenor and analto, although I don't play much any-more."

His career as a musician peakedbetween 1946 and 1952.

"Because there was no rock yet,

Free to choose: Niles picks CDs to playmost of the clubs were basically jazzclubs." he explained. "I had the opportu-nity to work in a variety of territorybands in Massachusetts. I did get a cou-ple of calls to go on the road, but by thattime I was involved in radio."

His voice first came over the air-waves while attending AmericanInternational College, announcing sportson the college station. After graduating,Niles relocated and worked for WEAT, aradio and television combo in West PalmBeach, Fla. The broadcast companyasked him to do an afternoon radio showand a sports TV show.

"I was the color man for high schooland college football and also broadcastsome golf tournaments," the veteranbroadcaster recalled. "In addition, I wasthe genial host of a teenage dance showevery Saturday that was similar to theDick Clark show. Plus. I was doing com-mercials and playing in clubs; so I had itmade in West Palm Beach."

But by 1956 Niles wasready for the big time. Hechose Los Angeles because hewanted to get involved in act-ing. He soon landed a job onchannel 9 as an afternoonmovie host. The TV stationalso gave him an hour-longFriday night show called"Strange Lands in SevenSeas."

Few of Niles' fans proba-bly know that he worked insummer stock and had partsin about 20 films. However,as he is quick to point out,many of his roles were some-what quirkish.

"The first film that I wasin was a truly awful moviethat became a cult film," theformer actor recalled. "It was'Teenage Zombies' in which Iplayed a monster called Ivan!I was also a hockey announc-er who

played a cop at Sing Sing in'Breakfast at Tiffany's.' "

on the local airwaves, hostingon KLON a regular Sunday show on

KFOX. Legendary radio per-sonality Sleepy Stein was also on KFOX:and when he convinced the owner ofKNOB to change his station's format tojazz, both announcers switched stations.Niles worked at KNOB until 1965, theyear the station was sold. lie immediate-ly joined KBCA. which later becameKKGO. He was the announcer untilKKGO switched to a classical format in1990, when he joined KLON.

"Fortunately. I have always had a lotof freedom to play what I want on the airat each of the stations," he said. "AtKLON, we have a top 20 that we follow,and there is a featured artist each day.But, otherwise. I play whatever fits."

On Fridays, he offers a valuable ser-vice to the jazz community. He describesthe dozens of club appearances and con-certs by up -and- coming jazz artists. Thejazz aficionado is a familiar figure inlocal jazz clubs on almost a nightly basis.

"What I find remarkable aboutChuck is that whenever I go to a club, he

"The websiteenhances our whole sta-tion," said FredBergendorff, KNX's web -master and marketingdirector. "People like toget behind the scenes,read our history, send uscomments. knowingsomeone will respond."

The computer whizkid at top 40 giant KITSpinpointed one of theWeb's greatest assets.

"That's the coolthing about it - everything is for free,"KITS -FM World Wide Web wranglerChris Peaslee said. "It has so much infor-mation that is fun and full for anybody tolook at. It lets everyone share ideas."

Southern California news 50,000 -watt 1070 AM has erected a news andtraffic cybercenter.

"People can take a tour of the stationon our site , and they can see live pic-tures from our broadcast studio,"Bergendorff pointed out.

Every month, the KNX webmasterupdates the news features and dramalistings.

KNX is creating the World WideWeb's only high-speed pursuit online.

"We have a three -minute piece byone of our reporters that will be on thesite as an example of a live coverage,"Bergendorff proudly announced.

KNX offers aninteractive newstrivia game. Usersare asked 10 ques-tions about the lat-est news, as heardon KNX. The sitealso exhibits theonly World WideWeb collection ofpersonalizedlicense plates.

"It gives youanother way tobond with your lis-tener ,"KABC/KMPC's BillLennert said. "Ithink you are rein-forcing a loyalty

with that listener that already exists."Most radio station websites allow

net surfers to send electronic mail, com-monly known as "e-mail." Stations valuethe feedback and sometimes save thecomments for the future.

"We keep our e-mail on file, possiblyhaving a KBIG newsletter to send outupdates on our events," KBIG's spokes-woman Terri Hansell said. On their web -site, which has links to Dave Lettermanand lay Leno, users/listeners can e-mailtheir jokes of the day, in addition torequests and dedications.

Sister talk stations KABC andKMPC's websites share 100 -plus pages.Because of their voluminous e-mail, theyjust redesigned their e-mail page to showall their 53 personalities on both sta-tions.

He isinvolved in music in so many differentlevels, besides his announcing. I don'tknow what we'd do without him. He is areal jazz treasure for Los Angeles."

KLON Program Director Willis sec-onded the jazz society president's obser-vation.

"Whenever he is out, he representsKLON and supports the music,"remarked Niles' program director. "Wecouldn't ask for a better ambassador."

The ambassador also acts as moder-ator of L.A. Jazz Society -sponsoredevents for kids.

"With the L.A. Jazz Society, we goout to public schools every Februarywith a seven -piece band led by AlAarons, usually elementary but some-times middle schools," Niles said."Somehow or other, I have to relate tothe kids, touching on a few high pointsin the history of jazz in the brief time.We were in Corona recently, and thewhole school showed up for us. It'stough for a little kid to identify with me:but I do the best I can, cracking a fewjokes. It's very rewarding, helping tointroduce them to jazz.

His voice is now an element of the18th Playboy Jazz Festival in June. Hehosts the broadcast of the concert, whichis heard locally and nationally.

The broadcasting pro reflected onsome of the early announcers vhoimpressed and perhaps influenced him.

"Alex Cooper, who was on KLAC.sounded great and inspired me," Nilessaid. "Back on the East Coast, I used tolike Ted Husing in New York onWMGM. But my main early idol wasArthur Godfrey; so many of the otherguys from the period had too muchstarch. But Arthur Godfrey, who featuredjazz on his show in later years, wasprobably the pioneer at being conversa-tional on the radio, not sounding likeeverything he said was written outbeforehand. One can get terribly acade-mic about announcing jazz; but peopleshould remember that everything on theradio and television is about entertain-ment. If I can make someone crack asmile or feel good, that's being human. Itry to follow that approach because the

music really takes care of itself. ArthurGodfrey was like that; he was not afraidto laugh over the air."

As a fixture in L.A.'s jazz clubs, heknows most of the up-and-coming musi-cians.

"I'm very impressed by saxophonistsZane Musa and Phil Vieux, pianistDonald Vega, a great young guitaristAnthony Wilson (son of veteran band-leader Gerald Wilson) and, although heis not quite as young, I really like thesaxophonist Doug Webb. But that's onlya few that come to mind. It is incrediblehow many great young players there are.

His opinion of the state of straight -ahead jazz in general?

"As far as the state of jazz goes, ourratings at KLON are very good, so thereis a definite audience for this music," thelifetime jazz man said. "When I went tothe International Association of JazzEducators convention a couple years agoin Anaheim. they had over 5,000 peoplethere, and many of them were kids. So,overall, I think that things are lookingvery good for jazz."

sion of "Concentration." When playersget two matching pictures, a song isheard over the computer.

With their many computer -savvy lis-teners, public radio is eager to "broad-cast" over the Internet.

KCRW fans can hear live perfor-mances from "Morning BecomesEclectic" with RealAudio technology.

"If someone is a fan of Lou Reed,they could come to our website to listento the interviews and listen to the perfor-mances," KCRW webmaster JonathanBerman said.

KCRW transfers the audio from itsnews/interview program, "Which Way,L.A.," to the website right after the pro-gram airs on the radio.

"We arc a radio station on the Netwhere you can come back and listen tothe station when you want, at your con-venience," Berman said.

The Pacifica radio website includesits L.A. affiliate, KPFK-FM. Web surferscan search and purchase tapes from thevast Pacifica Radio Archive, as well ashear the "hot tape of the week."

"You can link to 'Democrcy Now'[Pacifica's national election coverageprogram] and take a look at the programrun-down for a particular show," PacificaArchives' Mark Hamlin pointed out.

At the Pacifica National News Page,you can listen to the news for that day.as well as archive programs." Pacifica'shistorical section includes old photos ofPacifica founder Lou Hill and the firsttransmitter at KPFA-FM in Berkeley.

"We have a lot of court decisions wewant to put up." Hamlin said.

One high -profile example is the U.S.Supreme Court decision about the infa-mous 12 -minute George Carlin "sevendirty words" monologue, broadcast in1973.

At the opposite end of the political/cultural cyber spectrum from KPFK isChristian station KKLA.

The web provides 99.5's talk show,"Duffy and Company," with an invalu-able forum for his "Phone & FaxBrigade."

"When there is a cause or an issue,

Duffy rallies his croups," KKLA JimTinker, operations director, said. "Theysend in hundreds of faxes and phonecalls for issues that they think are impor-tant, like Clinton's ban on partial birthabortion and other issues that are wrongfrom a Christian perspective."

The site has program informationand chat rooms. In the future, its VIPchat room will schedule "appearances"by major talk hosts, just like AmericaOnLine and Compuserve.

"People like Dr. James Dobson from'Focus on the Family' can then hear fromtheir supporters and potential supportersin the chat room on our site," Tinkersaid. "But anyone anywhere in the worldwould be able to tie into it."

KKLA's next project is to establish aChristian shopping mall. "Shoppers" willbe able to put items in a little animatedcart and push it around the screen.

KKLA was the first Christian stationto use RealAudio, allowing computers allover the world to listen to the station'sbroadcasts 24 hours a day.

With all its uncensorable, open-ended vitality of cyberspace. there arestill many problems. Searching the Webcan he tedious with long delays to makeconnections. Most users are able toreceive limited amounts of sound, graph-ics and moving pictures.

Although station staffers are proudof their websites and enjoy the increasedinteraction with their listeners, manyspend their free time answering e-mail,adding new images and updating infor-mation.

KCRW is fortunate to have a volun-teer force of 15 who constantly post newdata.

"It is an enormous amount of work,"Arrow 93's Edwards admitted.

Whether all the work will pay off willdepend on technological developmentsand the response of the computer -literatepublic.

Radio Guide.Unfortunately, radio is often treated likea second-class citizen. After celebs getbig. they tend to avoid radio like monkeybites. It's a big mistake. Radio has neverbeen more popular, and stations aremaking more money than ever.

I waxed loqua-ciously with the Anita-meister recently.She has quite the Fourth of July person-ality for KSCA, which is very '70s andlaid-back in its on -air approach. But shecan let it all out on KM PC. where shehas endless hours to fill on weekendnights there. Weekend nights arc brutalin talk radio. The phones just don't lightup. Anita fills the time on KMPC chop -chop. and many times gets the phonesbubbling despite the drudgery. My closefriend Anita is going to have her agenttalk to my agent, and we will soon dolunch.

Also, CD 103.1'ssignal is much clearer and stronger thesedays. (Back when it was K -SURF, youhad to sit in your car across the streetfrom the station to get a clear signal.)Lots of jingles too. I love jingles. Jinglesare cool.
