Milt Willis was my favorite DJ, and when I got into radio in 1965 I found myself emulating his on-air style of announcing. It took me several years to get away from that and find my own style.<br /><br />BTW, that new PD at KXYZ in 1966 was Bill Calder from KPRC Radio. He threw out the Beautiful Music format, turned the announcers into personality jocks and started playing pop hits. Calder had a terrible reputation and left bad memories wherever he went.Retired old radio guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08932710240188218212noreply@blogger.com
