The longtime San Diego Talk radio veteran tells ST he will no longer manage Talk KCBQ-AM and Christian Talk KPRZ-AM so that he can devote his time to his new duties as co-host of Salem's just launched Southern California morning show trimulcast.

The San Diego Union TV/Radio Bear cause... Jefferson Pilot Communications' KBZT/FM 94.9 is coordinating "B-Bear Patrol," a campaign to put a new teddy bear in the hands of every community service employee, such as police officer, firefighter or child protective services worker, to help them comfort a scared, lost or injured child. The collection is co-sponsored by San Diego County Longs Drug stores, Factory 2U stores, Point Loma Nazarene University Nursing Education program, and San Diego County Adoptions office. Donations can be made at Longs or Factory 2U stores, or at "B94.9," 1615 Murray Canyon Road, Suite 710. "B94.9" plays "Music of the ' 80s and more." KiFM lineup... In other Jefferson Pilot news, Melissa Sharpe is now hosting the company's "Smooth Jazz" KiFM/FM 98.1 morning show (5 to 9). Tony McCulloh is doing news and traffic on the same show. Before coming to San Diego, Sharpe was heard on KTAR and KYOT, both in Phoenix. Here, she replaces Pam Thomas, who has exited KiFM. Meanwhile, KiFM assistant program director/music director Kelly Cole has moved to afternoon drive (2 to 7 p.m.) from evenings and replaces Lynda Smith, who also left the station. Cole has been with KiFM for 18 years. Cohen facts... Inquiring minds wanted to know, so here are the particulars on Dan Cohen, the newest reporter and fill-in anchor at KFMB/Channel 8 "Local 8 News." He came to San Diego from WTXL/Channel 27 and WBXT/Channel 6 in Tallahassee, Fla., where he was a weekend anchor/reporter. The two stations are located in the same facility, with Channel 27 being an NBC affiliate and Channel 6 a WB affiliate. Cohen was a lead reporter on the Bush/Gore vote recount. Before WTXL and WBXT, he worked at CNWG-TV (Comcast Northwest Georgia) cable network as a show host and reporter. Cohen also worked at WICD/Channel 15 in Champaign, Ill., as a photographer, writer and tape editor. He interned in the investigative unit at Fox News in Chicago. He is a graduate of the University of Illinois with a degree in broadcast journalism and specializations in sociology and political science. He' s a native of San Bernardino. Larson moving over... Mark Larson is stepping down as general manager of KCBQ/AM 1170 and KPRZ/AM 1210 effective Sept. 16. He will continue his on-air 6 to 9 a.m. "Larson Live!" talk show heard all over Southern California, but will move to a management consulting role for KCBQ and KPRZ. "This will be an active, hands-on position, working with all areas of the station," Larson said. "This is important to me, especially after investing close to nine years here. I want to see us continue to succeed and rise to new levels." Larson came to KPRZ from KFMB. Having to get up at 3:45 a.m. to drive from East County to the Golden Triangle area each weekday and make preparations for each morning show became too grueling to keep Larson at KCBQ and KPRZ all day. Succeeding him as GM is Judy Bowen, currently KCBQ/KPRZ local sales manager. She came to the stations in July 2000 after four years at KFMB AM/FM, where she was national sales manager. Before that, she was in sales at KGB/FM for nine years.

Tony and Kris Renew at KSON (August 26, 2002)Tony Randall and Kris Rochester of "Tony and Kris in the Morning," have renewed their contract with KSON 97.3 Tony and Kris are ten-year veterans at KSON. They started as a team eleven years ago in Anniston, Alabama.KWRP 96.1 Boosts Power (August 26, 2002)Wang-NetGO>>> Chuck Southcott's Music of Your Life may not have a Los Angeles affiliate, but transmitter upgrades have apparently allowed affiliate KWRP (96.1 FM) in San Bernardino/Riverside to come in as if it were a local station throughout much of Los Angeles County. Reception of the adult standards station has been reported in the West Valley, Encino, and Woodland Hills as well as in the South Bay. I get it clearly in San Pedro, even as I drive. And it sounds great. RIP: MLB? (Aug 26, 2002)Say what? Yes, this Friday, if there is a strike, we can say goodbye ever to Major League Baseball. Why? The owners and the players are simply too greedy while they screw the hard working person with overpriced parking and ticket fees. Both sides are going about salaries in the wrong way.It's time to take the bull by the horns and let the baseball fans dictate what the owners and players should do aside of telling them to stick their greed up where the sun don't shine. The television networks should also play hardball with the owners and tell them how much they deserve to get for rights to carry their overpriced games that get lower and lower ratings all the time. NBC did a wise thing to get out of the major sports business because they rightfully judged the carriage fees to be too high; networks need to make a profit too. What's the use of paying for what is essentially a three-hour commercial for the sport if the network loses money on the deal? As for salary caps: PUT THEM ON NOW! If a ballplayer can't make do with a healthy $300,000 a year salary, then someone else can happily take a $75,000 starting salary. No baseball player is worth four times what they deserve to make. Small market teams such as the Outland Padres and Outland Marlins are struggling while their top talent they developed have been snatched by big market teams owned by Fox, Disney, and AOL Time Warner who can pay them multi-millions of dollars a year. In effect, most of the smaller market teams have become a farming system for the few ballclubs run by the big pigs in the media. Is this corrupt or what? Let the overpaid players with million dollar arms walk if they don't like the new pay structure we their employers (the ones who pay for the tickets) dictate on the owners and players. We want to come to their games, but they're priced too high. We would rather buy a Weird Al "UHF" DVD than spend the same amount of money just for one to come to the ballgame. Employers, the ball is in your court. Time to tell the baseball folks how much they're really worth! Do it now!
