Bob Moore, 1946 - 2026
We're hearing that Bob Moore, who regularly was ranked among the top 10 of radio executives in LARadio.com's annual survey, died last week.
Moore worked at a variety of stations including KEZY, KKDJ, KFWB in Southern California, but was perhaps best known for his work doing talk programming during his three stops at KLSX. It was Moore who flipped then-classic rocker KLSX to "Real Radio 97.1," eventually evolving to "97.1 FM Talk," later "97.1 FREE FM." The station featured the talents of Howard Stern, Adam Carolla, Frosty, Heidy & Frank, Tom Leykis, Tim Conway Jr., and Danny Bonaduce, among others. His last job on the local airwaves was serving as General Manager for KABC / KLOS until the purchase of the stations by Cumulus in 2011.
In between his stints at KLSX, Moore was an Executive VP of Westwood One in 1991. Three years later, he was made VP / GM of KIKK/KILT-Houston before returning to Southern California.
In January 2012, Moore became President of Courtside Entertainment, joining Norm Pattiz, until late 2012. A few months later, Moore became President of Sports USA Media for almost a decade. In February 2022, he created his own independent media consulting company.
On his Los Angeles radio social media page, Jeffrey Leonard posted the following:
Born in Appleton, Wisconsin, Moore studied Marketing and Business Administration at the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh. He started his radio career in sales in 1968 for WISM, then WLVE-Madison. Moore began in Southland radio sales in the 1970s at KEZY-Anaheim.
No information on his services have been announced by press time. Moore was 80 years old.
