Bob Moore, a former Westwood One and CBS Radio manager best known for bringing an entertainment talk lineup and Howard Stern to KLSX, has died. In Los Angeles, Moore became a key figure at Greater Media, overseeing KHTZ, KLSX, and KRLA.
In 1991, Moore joined Westwood One as EVP of the Stations Group, with responsibility for KQLZ, known as Pirate Radio, a Los Angeles rock station. He returned to KLSX and KRLA in late 1994.
In August 1995, KLSX dropped Classic Rock and became an entertainment-oriented FM talk station built around humor, entertainment, personality, and everyday life instead of political commentary. Moore helped bring Howard Stern to Los Angeles, with the initial lineup also including Kato Kaelin, Susan Olsen, Ken Ober, and The Regular Guys, with Tom Leykis and Adam Carolla becoming part of the station’s later history.
Under Moore, KLSX became one of the top-ten billing stations nationally.
Moore later held senior management responsibilities at CBS Radio, including a return to the Los Angeles market’s larger management structure. Over his career, he worked with Mel Karmazin, Farid Suleman, Steve Lehman, Dan Mason, Norm Pattiz, and Art Laboe, among others.
