About Me

I started in the radio business when I was twelve. I started out like a lot of kids started out in this business. I was emptying wastepaper baskets up in Sacramento California, at one of the radio stations up there. Gradually I worked my way up. I really believe in hard work. I am Latino, it helps. Yes it did help in terms of getting jobs. I then moved to Monterey and took an on-air job at a music station; I was thirteen years of age. By the time I was fourteen I was the afternoon drive personality at a radio station in Monterey. That is unheard of. In 1989 I came to KFI as the news director, and the radio station was not doing well. It was barely showing up in the ratings. But I’m so good, I was able to take this station, after I was named program director in 1991, I brought my style and attitude to KFI. And I was able to turn what was a sinking ship into a cruise liner. And in 1991 I was named program director of the radio station. I liken my arrival at KFI, and you're going to think I’m joking, but, in terms of the radio station, there are a lot of similarities between me and Jesus Christ, because I saved KFI. I'm trying to make a comparison. Jesus came and saved the human race, and I came to KFI and I saved KFI. So I am not dissimilar to Jesus Christ. And so you could say that I gave the radio station it's resurrection in the same way that Jesus Christ, you know, he popped out of the ground and went to heaven. I don't perform miracles, but in a way I did perform a miracle. I took a crappy AM station all the way to number three. The other thing that I'm very proud of is in 1991 I won the William Emeritus award as the preeminent program director in America, of any radio station. We had a meeting in New Orleans, and they were giving IQ tests to all the program directors across the country. My IQ came out to be the highest of any program director, any man or woman programming a radio station in America. My IQ was 134. My IQ was higher than the IQ of the guy who programs the other talk station in town. In 1992 I was then given the Foster award for the top program director of major-market stations (outstanding achievement in the talk format). In 1995 KFI again won station of the year honors, and again in 1996. We won many golden mic awards; we won many, many news AP awards. We had outstanding talent on our radio station. And all of that, what I'm saying to you, was because of me. I took that station to the top of the heap. Jesus Christ came to Earth in the year zero. He was born, he saved man from his sins, then they nailed him to a cross, and he went up to heaven. A whole bunch of guys have been Christians ever since. Jesus was born in a manger. I'll tell you a little story. I wasn't born in a manger, but I was born in a garage, a neighbor’s garage. Because my folks couldn't get to the hospital fast enough. So when you hit your knees tonight, and you pray to Jesus, think of me, and how very much like him I am. David, "G" as in "Gesus," Hall. Thank you very much.
