Ron Shapiro is a true legend of radio imaging. And more specifically- radio imaging in Los Angeles. If you don’t know him yet- get to know him at ron@format3000.com
Apart from being one of the nicest human beings on the planet, he’s also one of the most talented. And to show you what a genuine person he is- he’s allowed me to post some amazing imaging from KHJ, KIIS FM, Mega 100 and Hot 92.3.
Note from Ron: The KHJ file is 30 minutes and includes most of the big promotions that KHJ did between 1965-1969. This montage was part of the 25th anniversary CD that I co-produced with Robert W. Morgan (KHJ’s morning man) and Jeff Leonard in 1990. A huge honor considering I never worked there. I think you’ll hear what an influence those promos were on my style years later.
If you’ve ever listened to radio imaging- chances are it was influenced by Ron. You’ve just never met him. Until now.
You’ll hear Brian James, Michael Martin, Joe Cipriano, Don Elliot, Mark Driscoll and more. WOW!! Thank you, Ron!
