Roger at ABC
Roger didn't want to be a DJ. He was a "network announcer". Wouldn't that have been the coolest gig ever? ABC needed a DJ, Roger was the new guy. That settled that. He found his groove and a legend started.

One Night Stand 1964
One Night Stand was the AFRTS package of big band remotes. It had been broadcast through the 40s 50s and 60s. Leon Keltner had the classy society orchestra in New Orleans. This recording is from WWL/CBS in 1964, roughly the same time that Cal LaMartiniere was the booth announcer for these programs, the announcer (Don Lewis) sounds similar to Cal, possibly an influence?

AFVN-FM 1969
By 1969, the AM station was missing an important element, the "Golden Sounds of Music". Mike Halloran was one of the first on the new AFVN-FM.
Halloran had a radio career prior to the army and went on to great things after. Before the FM station, he had been been commuting in for a weekly show on the Saigon station, sometimes under fire.

Jim Pewter 1967
When we ask enough, there are answers. Mike Brown checked in to say that Jim Pewter worked at Radio Cavalier in the 1964-65 time frame. By 1967 Jim was doing the AFRTS-LA show. Something I hadn't heard was that Jim worked at the station with the late Richard Nader. Nader was responsible for the big oldies rock and roll shows in the 1970s
