CHUCK BLORE

Chuck Blore was a disc jockey and Program Director of radio stations, starting his career in El Paso, TX, before moving to Los Angeles in the late 1950’s and overseeing music station, KFWB AM.

Under Blore’s programming leadership, KFWB AM became known as “Color Radio”,  featuring air personalities known as the “Seven Swingin' Gentlemen”. The station produced incredible ratings results often earning 30% or more of the total listening audience in a competitive radio market. Chuck Blore employed his creative genius to refine every aspect of the sound of the radio station, from the on-air conversations to the jingles to the imaging, all in an effort to entertain audiences. He is known for identifying exemplary on-air talent, including Gary Owens and Wink Martindale among a long list of larger-than-life disc jockeys.

Chuck Blore left the day-to-day duties of radio to form an advertising agency benefiting television networks and motion picture studios among other clients and categories. The agency produced thousands of radio and television commercials for the benefit of the clients of the agency. Blore’s advertising agency continued the love affair relationship he had with radio, producing countless television advertising campaigns for radio stations nationwide.  

Blore’s creative work was both appreciated and often imitated by radio industry individuals for years.  

In 2024, Chuck Blore received a Legends Induction into the Radio Hall of Fame.
