Fred King (Sean King)-1972-Promotions Manager/1974-Program Director-Southland Broadcasting Sean King-1972-1978 *Biography In Memory* Sean tells a great radio tale; "I worked different shifts at CK, usually 10 to 3, but did overnights towards the end. I used my air name from WLOF(-AM 950), Sean King. My favorite story is one when I was doing AM drive on a Saturday and I saw Stan Anderson, who was doing news that day, going out front to watch a rocket launching from the Cape. We could feel the familiar rumble beneath our feet as the station was located only a couple of miles from the Space Center in Cape Canaveral. I promptly found a 5 minute track to play and decided to join him to watch the launch. Once out the door, I looked up at the sky, but heard a "click" behind me. I suddenly realized that Stan and I were the only people in the building that morning and I had just managed to lock us out with the automatic door lock. Neither one of us had a key as it was a 24 hour operation. Fortunately, the Program Director, Les Roberson, lived only a few blocks away. Stan was able to wake him and use his key. We had about 15 minutes of "dead air". I wasn't looking forward to seeing (Les) the P.D. that day. Actually he took it pretty well and ribbed us about it in the months to come."
