Ron Chapman is allegedly "The Most Listened to Morning
Radio Personality in the History of the Southwest." He certaintly has proven to have the most
longevity. He started in radio on
KLIF 1190 under the
pseudonym Irving Harrigan during the fifties and early sixties. He had a brief stint on
WFAA TV channel eight. Then he started working for
KVIL 103.7 fm and spent over three decades on the same radio station. Today he's the morning host for
Oldies Radio 98.7
KLUV. He makes so much money it has been known to make talk shock jock
Russ Martin physically ill, cuz he don't make half that much. One of Ron Chapman's most memorable experiences was the day a woman contemplating suicide called him on the air, and he talked her out of it.
Happily married to a woman named Nancy (not to be confused with
Nancy Reagan), Ron Chapman is still on the air from 5:30 to 10am weekday mornings on KLUV, and they will most probably have to pry his bony fingers from the microphone when his body kicks into
rigor mortis, God bless'm.
