Radio Legend Coming To SiriusXM Starting Monday
Not sure how many here know the name Shotgun Tom Kelly. He's an L.A. radio legend whose been on the air there for decades, has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and was the guy chosen to fill the huge shoes of the Real Don Steele after the latter's death.
Next Monday, he shifts from local radio to satellite and you'll be able to hear him in Toronto if you subscribe to SiriusXM. He'll be doing the 60s on 6 from 7-11 PM Eastern beginning Aug. 20th.
The Pasadena Star News quotes Shotgun Tom as saying he thought he'd be at his current home of KRTH forever. Not any more.
"Now I will be heard throughout the United States and Canada! I cannot even begin to explain how exciting this is to me!”
Kelly will be recording the show – almost every shift at SiriusXM is “voice-tracked,” where the DJ records the intros and bits ahead of time rather than in real time – from studios in San Diego.
The "newcomer" starts on Aug. 20th.

I don't know why; but I was surprised at the comment that everyone was voice tracked on Sirius/XM I listen to Flash Phelps every day and he sounds like he's definetly live. Although I've always said that a real pro will never let you know he or she is voice tracked; because they are so good at what they do..

I think Pat St. John does his show live as well, or used to. Great to hear that Shotgun Tom is signing on. Sounds as if this means the SiriusXM end for Dave Hoeffel and the ageless Cousin Brucie...

I think Brucie now only does a live show once a week on Sat Nights. He takes calls and I can't see how would be voice tracked. I think that could continue with Kelly. There's a best of from him on Sundays.

Phlash would be upset at the misspelling of his phirst name throughout this thread!
