Kathie J and Larry on Their Radio Return at Both Flo 107.1 and Jammin’ 101.5
After a marijuana-fueled online adventure, Larry and Kathie J, one of Denver’s favorite radio teams, are back on the airwaves after an incredibly tumultuous year, and they’re ready to double your pleasure.
Today they’re debuting at not one, but two stations, with a morning show on FLO 107.1 and a rebroadcast of the program during the afternoon at Jammin’ 101.5. They describe their wild ride below.
Things started to get crazy in March 2017, when the duo’s longtime hit morning show at KS-107.5 was canceled over a contract dispute. They laid low until June, when they announced that they would pair up again at Blazin’ Hit Radio, an online station sponsored by the Green Solution, a dispensary chain run by the Speidell brothers, Kyle, Eric, Brad, and Nick.
Blazin’ went live in August and continued into late April. Then, in the middle of May, the show’s Facebook page began teasing “big news” — which turned out to be the FLO/Jammin’ combo move, made possible because both outlets are owned by the same company, Max Media.
Larry and Kathie J credit Max Media president and CEO Jeff Norman with conceiving the two-station strategy, and they say the idea was a big reason that they agreed to come aboard.
Kathie J Water Break
Kathie giggles as her male co-hosts continue to crack jokes. ‘Code red!’ one is heard yelling, imitating the sound of sirens.
She then explains the situation and asks in a panic: ‘What do I do now?’ before her co-host responds: ‘Call your husband for God’s sake!’Kathie was then rushed off to the hospital, where the radio station caught up with her later on in the day to see how things were progressing.
‘I’m in the room, I’m all hooked up and we’re just waiting for the arrival of Baby J,’ she told FOX31 Denver’s Everyday radio show later that morning.
She explained that having her water break live on-air came as a complete surprise, especially because her due date was not until next Tuesday.
‘I was just going to keep working and working, and, oh my gosh, there it happened,’ she told the radio station.
‘I felt like I was tinkling myself on-air, and that’s not normal’
‘I felt like I was tinkling myself on-air,’ she said. ‘And that’s not normal.’
The radio show host plans on taking a few days off before returning to work on the 5 am to 10 am show, which has an estimated 518,000 daily listeners. Despite the very public way she began to go into labor, Kathie told the Swedish Medical Center that it could have been worse. ‘I made the right career choice in radio rather than rolling in a full TV camera crew!’ she said with a laugh.
Kathie J KS-107.5
Kendall B on JAMMIN 101.5 Return, Split From Larry, Kathie J and KS-107.5
In a June 2019 interview, Larry Ulibarri said Kendall had left KS-107.5 this past January because of a desire to relocate to his native California; he’s originally from Los Angeles. Kendall disputes that account, and he also feels his contributions should have been mentioned in the context of a subsequent post about Blazin’ Hit Radio, Larry and Kathie J’s online radio station, sponsored by the Green Solution dispensary chain, and a profile of new KS-107.5 morning team Tony V, Cedes and DJ Chonz.
Below, Kendall sets the record straight in addition to revealing the details of his latest gig, which will find him broadcasting for JAMMIN 101.5 from Denver, Cali and points unknown. Here’s what he had to say:
I actually started liking the radio when I was five years old. My mom and dad bought me an old, red Radio Shack tape recorder, and I started recording my voice. That started my radio bug. I used to listen to Rick Dees in L.A. and shows like that. They really kind of gave me my inspiration to be on the radio.
Then, as I got older, I started recording announcements for my high school in the mornings — little playback announcements. That kind of got my juices going, and when I looked at doing this professionally, I looked for a good school to do it. And I chose Syracuse, or they chose me. They let me in, which I’m very happy about.
They have a very good journalism school, and they also have some radio stations — and when I went hunting for them, I went to the wrong one. The one where all the big sportscasters like Mike Tirico were on is WAER, but I went to WJPZ, which was the student-run music station. And when I walked in there, I thought, This is home. I started there and worked my way up the ranks and was there all four years I was at Syracuse.
After I graduated, it took me about a year to get my first full-time radio gig, in Greensboro, North Carolina. I got a job at 102 Jamz. The program director called me and said, ‘Hey, I’ve got an opening for someone doing overnights. Do you want to come?’ And I flew from L.A. to Greensboro by myself. I had never been to North Carolina.
And I started doing midnight to 5:30 a.m., making $12,000 a year. Then, after six months of doing that, I got moved up to being the morning-show producer. That was kind of on the strength of me interning for Jay Thomas when I was in L.A. and he had a morning show — and I also did a morning show at Syracuse.
So I did that for a minute and went through three of four different morning shows for various reasons, and I kind of got tired of it. I wanted to do my own thing, and that’s when the night show opened up. The night guy was moving to Detroit — the Bushman, who’s still there, doing afternoons — and I started my own show, Kendall B’s Night Train, from seven to midnight.
It was a hip-hop station, and it was between ’95 and ’99 when hip-hop was exploding. It was the time of Biggie and Tupac and Juvenile and Jay Z. We played all those songs, sometimes before big stations in L.A. and New York had them. It was a fun time, and it’s one of the things people don’t know about me — that even though I’m so associated with being on a team, I’ve done my own show, and I think I did it pretty well.
What brought you to Denver?
After working in Greensboro, I was looking to move up, so I sent tapes all across the country — and one tape wound up getting into the hands of Kat Collins at KS in Denver. He had a night opening, and I wanted to do nights. But he didn’t want me to do nights, and I was kind of disappointed. He said he’d get back in touch with me, though.
In the meantime, Columbine happened, and for six months, I didn’t hear from Kat. But then, out of the blue, one October afternoon, he said, ‘I’ve got mid-days open. Would you like to do mid-days 10 to 2?’ I had never seen myself doing mid-days, but I wanted to move up and I wanted to get closer to home, which was L.A. So I flew in and talked to him, and they hired me — and I started doing mid-days in Denver.
How did you wind up moving to the morning show?
The same experience I had doing mornings in college and interning and producing a morning show got me in the loop to fill in for Rick Stacy when he was doing mornings and he had the day off. That happened every now and again. But then all of a sudden, as radio goes, Rick and Jennifer Wild, who were doing the show together, were let go, and Kat called me into the office and said, “I want you to fill in on the mornings.’
That was August 1, 2001, and what was supposed to be a temporary thing lasted fifteen years, because I teamed up with Larry, who remained over from the old show, and they brought in Kathie, who was friends with Larry. We just started doing the show together, and we got traction, got great feedback. The ratings were great, too, and one thing led to another — and we did the morning show together for fifteen years.
Why do you think the combination worked so well for so long?
We had good on-air chemistry, and we related to each other in a lot of different aspects. I think being close in age helped because even though I grew up in L.A. and they grew up here, there were a lot of things we could relate to, and something clicked. That’s the toughest thing in radio, in my opinion — to put together a good team. Even if you’re good friends off the air, if you don’t click together on the air, it’s not going to sound good. But we clicked well on the air and fell into our roles nicely, and it worked out for a good amount of time.
What were the circumstances of you leaving KS-107.5?
Well, that’s the funny part, because there’s a misconception that I left. But I was let go on January 3. I had done a show, and the program director called me into his office and said, ‘Today’s your last show.’ And I said, ‘Okay.’ I wasn’t that surprised, because I knew there were potentially some changes coming.
Contracts were up for all three of us — but I didn’t think it would happen like that. Essentially, I never got the chance to negotiate a new deal or even see if they wanted to do a new deal. I was just let go. So I packed up my stuff and left.
I stayed here in Colorado for about four or five months, until my wife and I sold our house, and then we made our way back to California. Now, the legend has it that I’d been wanting to go to California for years, and part of that is true. Who doesn’t want to get back close to their family? Who doesn’t want to be on the air in their home town? At one point, I was hoping our old show could make it in L.A., but that wasn’t the case — and I also knew we had a good thing in Denver. I wanted to see if the company would keep it going. But they didn’t, and there was nothing I could do about that.
