Jim Ladd, another radio legend and mentor, has died. Here is the obituary in the Los Angeles Times. I was Jim’s assistant at KLSX in Los Angeles from 1992 – 1994. I met him when I was interning at KRLA, the oldies station that operated out of the same office. First, I just asked Jim questions. Then I started answering the phones during his show. By the end I was booking guests. Eventually I left because I got my own shift at a station in Santa Barbara.
Well said, Chris! I listened to Jim on KLSX around 92-94. Always seemed to miss Headsets but caught a few. He will be (and has been) sorely missed!
