Week Nights
Mon-Fri 7:00p-12:00a Visit my web site at WHITNEY ALLEN.
Whitney Allen is one of only three known people living in Los Angeles who was actually BORN there. Whitney knew she wanted to be in radio when she was 5 years old. That dream was almost sidetracked by a longing to pursue veterinary medicine but she discovered that the whole "math, biology thing was not in my genetic makeup--but talking was".
On a trip to Eureka, California she heard a woman on the radio who “sounded like she wanted to steal my boyfriend. It was uncomfortable for me to listen to. I knew I wanted to be on the radio, but knew I did not want to sound at all like that!"
Whitney ended up getting that very air shift at KATA and stayed in Eureka for 2 years, “'til the rain got to me”. Then it was off to San Diego, California where she worked at Top 40 KS-103, Country’s Q105 and held down the nights at the station that went from worst to first in less than three months, KKLQ, Q-106.
“Right after I bought a house in San Diego, I got a call from the legendary Scott Shannon who was starting up Pirate Radio in Los Angeles.” He wanted Whitney to anchor the midday show. San Diego was a hard place to leave, but “Los Angeles was my hometown and I always wanted to make it there”. She did.
After Pirate Radio she was immediately hired to work at KIIS-FM in Los Angeles where she worked for over 3 years. “Just to be working at the same station as Rick Dees was amazing. Many mornings I actually got to work with him too…that’s a long way from Eureka!”
