From his website, his memories of the 1989 Earthquake:

"I ended up working at KGO in San Francisco a year after the earthquake in 1989, but ended up covering it on my night time talk show on KOA in Denver. Like any radio station outside of California, we were relying on the network to bring us the news. But, then, it dawned on me. KOA can be heard in 38 states at night. Maybe they can hear us in San Francisco. So here it is, minutes after the quake and the phones start lighting up. They're residents of California---reporting first hand what it was like. Turns out, many of the stations in San Francisco were knocked off the air by the Earthquake---and KOA was booming into the bay area."
