Robert W. Morgan 1965 KHJ Sales Sheet

This is a one-sheet for Boss Jock Robert W. Morgan from the 1965 KHJ Sales Folder. These were distributed to prospective advertisers. The text reads:

ROBERT W. MORGAN
They Wake Up With The Rooster From Wooster

It is safe to say that Wooster (Ohio) College has never been one of the really big names in Southern California radio ... ranking somewhere between cumquats and Lake Ontario. But the Wooster Meteor has taken over the 6 a.m. to 9 a.m. wake-up chores on Boss Radio, and things are looking up!

Robert W. has sandwiched a remarkable radio career between campus days and his entry to Hollywood. In four major stations, he has scored No. 1 in every segment in which he has appeared. Most recently the leading fog-clearer in San Francisco, he now grabs the dial at 93 first thing in the morning, and just doesn’t let go.

Primarily, though, Bob works at being a smooth vehicle for sales. If you’re not getting your share of worms, let this swinging early bird give you a boost.

Boss Jock Robert W. Morgan Postcard

This is a promotional postcard for Robert W. Morgan. The back of the postcard reads:

KHJ “Boss Jock” Robert W. Morgan
Don’t mess with this man ... he’s waiting for you on the Bossline! Phone KHJ at your own risk when Morgan’s at the wheel. What you don’t hear on the phone you get on the air: much more music with a cat that’s putting everyone on ... only try to get him to admit it.

Issue #82 - Humble Harve is coming to Boss Radio!

This would be the final week of the Monkees’ eight-week stranglehold on the No. 1 position with “I’m A Believer.” It took until 1975 for somebody to tie the record of eight weeks at No. 1 when Captain & Tennille accomplished the feat with “Love Will Keep Us Together.” The Bee Gees finally broke the record in 1978 when “Night Fever” held the top spot for nine weeks.
