Danny Bonaduce, Jamie White – Star 98.7/Los Angeles, 1999 aircheck: “Danny can see the transmitter from his house!”

Political appropriateness was not the hallmark of this 1999 morning show, fondly described by a listener as “endless chatter about nonsense.” Danny happened to mention that he can see the station’s transmitter from his house, and Jamie relentlessly torments him with it. Another member of the crew, Rosemary also gets dragged into the fray.

Runtime: 4:45

After 60 years in the entertainment industry, Danny recently retired from “the Danny Bonaduce and Sarah morning show” on Seattle’s KZOK-FM, where he was based for the last 12 years of his career. For more Danny Bonaduce posts, click here. Images credited to Wikipedia and Radiomania.
