  • This duo created a lot of what we heard on the pop charts. Some good stuff, but a lot of bubble gum.

• June died July 21, 2025 at her home in Long Beach, California. She had a pretty face and 8½ feet of measurements.

  • That pictorial was a pleasant start to the morning. These were photos that boys of that era found in mens magazines which were stashed in attics of abandoned houses, along with old newspapers. June Wilkinson was certainly an eye-opener.

• For the most part, PNW radio personalities had conversational deliveries.
  Name one "puker" in Seattle-Tacoma radio. I don't recall any.

  • Chris Lane

    • I don't remember him that well.

  • . . . and be the life of your next dinner party. Puker?

    Only sure definition I had of “puker” was me all over the dashboard after four or five guzzles of Jim Beam ($4.80 a fifth back then). So I did a web search.

    Radio guy with a "radio voice" and a phony "warm" delivery with mouth wide open, crisp pronunciation and a smile? Takes diaphragmatic breathing to an offensive level?

    I can think of only one in Seattle radio if I'm close to the definition.

    • Who would that one person have been?

• April 2004 - KGHO AM 920/Olympia changes call letters to KGTK and format from oldies to a simulcast of MegaTalk KITZ AM 1400/Silverdale.

• September 2000 - KCMS FM 105.3/Edmonds moved their transmitter to Cougar Mountain. Power has been lowered to compensate for the increased height. They were the last FM station in this area with a grandfathered power output - 115,000 watts. The current allowable maximum is 100,000.
