enjoying the new Jerry Williams book

[Dan.Strassberg]

Are you saying that the sequence was Jepko, Nebel, King? My impression
is that Nebel (later with his wife as co-host) was on Mutual
overnights for quite a long time--not nearly as long as King, but
still a long time) and that Jepco was not on Mutual all that long, but
he was on KSL and at least one other 50-kW station for years and years
before he was on Mutual. Wasn't his show called Nightcap or something
like that? I surely can't recall the sequence of hosts but I wouldn't
bet on Jepco having preceded Nebel. Also, didn't Nebel deal mainly
with the sort of black helecopter stuff that Art Bell later made so
popular?
