KRLA's DAVE DIAMOND (Late 1971)

After Shadoe Stevens reprogrammed KRLA from Top 40 to Progressive AOR, it was planned that Dave Diamond, a Top 40 holdover, stay on in the 9-Midnight shift.

However, the rumor goes that Diamond allegedly made a "jestful comment" that allegedly offended management honcho Larry Webb, so Diamond was quickly replaced by the more FMish Mikel Hunter.
