Program Directors:

Gorman

Stern
Gonzo arrived in Detroit to work with legendary programmer John
Gorman, and the brand-new “K-ROCK” in Detroit.
After a lot of format-tweaking, and the station’s
limited success under the thumb of corporate busy-bodies, the
format flipped to “Extreme Radio” under programmer
Mike Stern, at which point Gonzo moved to afternoon drive.
After an explosive debut book as "Extreme
Radio", corporate again decided to change format, this time
to “FM Talk”. Gonzo teamed with co-host Erin Carmen
for mid-days. A few months later, Erin then left to work with
Mancow in Chicago, so Gonzo hosted the show solo for a while,
until he moved off-air to become Production Director.

From Intern to Morning Guy.
Pure
Rock 105.5 FM KNAC Los Angeles
When Gonzo started at KNAC, it was LA’s

In 1986, the station flipped to the Jeff Pollack-consulted
“Pure Rock” format. The end result of the subsequent

the overnight shift. Then the night shift. Then, in 1989, the
morning show, right at the height of hair-metal hysteria.
Co-Hosts:
Stew
Herrera

Jimmy Christopher
Tom Marshall
Pam Edwards
Highlights:
* First DJ in the world to play “Dr. Feelgood”, when
Motley Crue brought in a test pressing.

Priest album, “Painkiller”.
