It all started in the Navy Hospital in Philadelphia... and quickly went downhill from there! At the age of 17, after living near every naval base in the continental United States, Gary Bryan found himself in Georgia. Driving through a small town, he heard one of the worst radio announcers in America on the local station.
“Even I could do better than that!” he said, and finding the station’s studios in a white frame house. He walked in and applied for a job.
“Can you read?” asked the station manager.
“Why, yes, I can,” said Gary, and by the next day, he was on the air... and has been ever since!
After stints in Seattle, San Francisco, Chicago and New York (on America’s most-listened-to station, Z100), Gary took over the morning show on KEARTH 101. Following in the footsteps of one of LA’s greatest personalities, Robert W. Morgan, is a daunting task, but the loyal and friendly KEARTH 101 audience made him feel right at home. It’s been over 5 years, and each day Gary enjoys working with Lisa, Sammy, Tim and Bob, bringing the music and fun to Southern California.
Gary is married (since he was 19) to June, and they have four children: Jack, Kate, Marie and Grace, and two grandkids, Eva, 2, and Jesse, 1.
