News Director Exits SD6

By Joe Nelson
   Not too much is known as to why, but Don Shafer, News Director at SD6 has exited the building.

   Don made news on his own recently when he disclosed he worked with Vester Lee Flanagan, the Virginia gunman who shot and killed a reporter and her MMJ while the camera was rolling.
   When SanDiegoRadio learns more, I will publish the details here.

SanDiegoRadio SpotlightEmily Griffiths KIOZ - "The Show" Producer

SanDiegoRadio.org had the opportunity to catch up with Emily Griffiths, from KIOZ's "The Show". We hope you enjoy this candid interview. I do consider Emily a radio pro as she has worked very hard wherever she has been as well as landing a job with iHeart after her previous morning show disbanded.


Joe Nelson: What is your current position? Emily Griffiths: Producer of The Show on Rock 1053
JN: How are things with you right now? Life, work….. EG: Life is great! I just finished my first year on The Show and it has been a year full of learning and adjusting to the inner workings of a new show. Coming from many years being on The Jeff and Jer Showgram there was a ton of changing and adjustments. The routine and way the show works is different in so many ways. I feel like I have grown more this year in my career then ever before.
JN: San Diego… What is your favorite place to visit? EG: This…

Special thanks to Bo Woods for his help on this story, Condolences from SanDiegoRadio

(SAN DIEGO, CA – September 25, 2018) It’s with a heavy heart that I announce the passing of a great radio icon, Paul Menard. Menard, best known for his role as Irving Harrigan of the National Radio Hall of Fame morning team show, Charlie & Harrigan, was 81 years old. 
He passed peacefully in a North County San Diego hospital on Tuesday September 25th. Paul Menard was a popular morning disc jockey on KOMA-AM in Oklahoma City as Paul Miller before being teamed with Jack Woods in 1965 at KLIF-AM in Dallas as the newly recreated Charlie & Harrigan.

Their ‘Charlie & Harrigan Presents’ syndicated morning show was heard daily in 53 markets, simultaneously, across the country. Menard is now reunited with Woods, who passed 3 years before him, as Charlie …
