Larry Aiken By CHUCK DOUGHERTY When Larry grew up to the old age of 14, he got his first job in real radio in his hometown of Evansville, Ind. and then joined KQV earlier this year. How old is Larry no? He's only 19 ... but he can be classed as a true veteran. He just recently started his new show on KQV from 9 p.m. to midnight ... and if you tune in, you'll find he's still "playing" radio ... only now, he's got a lot of real people listening. |

News at 55 ? By Ken Hildebrand One of the questions we a KQV often receive is, "why is KQV's news on the air five minutes BEFORE every hour ?" Well ... there's a logical answer. We like to be first, and by scheduling news at "55" we bring you the latest local and national news a full five minutes before other stations. You can be sure there's a reason for everything that's done ... and incidentally, if you have any questions at all about Pittsburgh radio, we'll be happy to answer them in this column. |

Chuck Dougherty By Sam Holman For proof, you need look no further than KQV's "morning" man Chuck Dougherty. Chuck majored in radio broadcasting at the University of Kentucky, and collected a good musical background singing with carious orchestras. Heard between 6 and 9 a.m., Chuck also serves as KQV's Program Director, which keeps him busy at the station. And, at home he's kept busy with three children, ranging from 10 years old to seven months. And we can't forget another member of his family, "Little Red, the talking bloodshot thermometer" ... an idea Chuck used eight years ago, and which has been copied all over the country. Chuck represents the new group of radio DJ's who have been thoroughly schooled and trained in entertainment. |

John Teneglia By Bob Thompson, Sales Mgr., KQV One of radio's most important group are the salesmen ... and what do they sell ? They sell the only commodity radio has to sell ... time on the air, ranging from 10 second spots to 60 minute programs. It so happens that our "veteran " salesmen is a young man not yet 25 years old. He is John Teneglia. But despite his youth, John had a broad experience selling radio before he joined KQV two years ago. Chances are the next spot you hear on KQV was sold by John. |

Right now, that is" The man who is called "Handsome Henry" draws big crowds at the KQV window - studio as well as a large women's audience from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. and 7 to 9 p.m. Henry, a native of Mt. Washington, has been on the Pittsburgh radio scene now for 12 years. He started his career in Connellsville, then came back to Pittsburgh in 1948, and joined the KQV staff in 1957. |
