John has a life-long love for our marvelous American popular music and is fortunate to have been able to play these great tunes throughout most of his 35+ years in radio. He started his radio career in Phoenix at Arizona's legendary pioneer radio station KOY. John's first day on-the-air was July 20, 1969 ... the day Neil Armstrong walked on the moon. In 1971, he moved to southern California and built a loyal following of radio listeners on several stations, including 10 years presenting Adults Standards at KPOP and later at Los Angeles station KKGO beginning in 2002.
John has interviewed most of the wonderful artists performing the Great American Songbook and has a depth of knowledge in our musical heritage that he loves to share with his listeners.

Karl Southcott was born into a radio family. It didn't take him too long to embrace the world of radio himself and has been working in the business since 1981. Early on, he was a producer for the nationally syndicated Bill Balance Show and a sound man and voice-over talent on various television productions.
For 12 years Karl served as Operations Manager for the Music Of Your Life at Jones Radio Networks. As Operations Manager and morning host, Karl was instrumental in MOYL's success. With the hands-on approach he takes to develop and maintain relationships with affiliates, Karl helped to expand MOYL's station count from six to well over 170 affiliates nationwide in a short time. Under his watch, the format was heard in major markets including Washington DC, Sacramento, Los Angeles and Seattle among others.
Since early in 2007, Karl has been an integral on-air member of two highly rated AC station morning show teams for Entercom in Denver, KOSI-101 and Alice 105-9.
Karl's love of the greatest music ever made has spanned his life. He's enjoyed presenting our kind of music nationally, and it's been a thrill for him every step of the way for years. Known on the air as Carl Hampton, his upbeat and conversational approach to playing standards is contagious.
Enjoy spending time with Karl each weekday afternoon as he plays the finest music ever recorded.
