Shotgun Tom Kelly, who succeeded The Real Don Steele in afternoon drive at KRTH-101 in Los Angeles for 22 years, has been one of San Diego's best known radio personalities and worked at KGB, KOGO, KFMB, KBZS and KCBQ.

His career spans over 40 years and included stints at KACY Oxnard, KAFY Bakersfield, KYOS in Merced and KFRC, San Francisco.

"I love playin' oldies on the radio!" said Shotgun, in his first words on KRTH, September 18, 1997. Shotgun has been honored for his work in radio as Billboard Magazine's major market Air Personality of the Year.

Shotgun is also the recipient of two Emmy Awards as the host of two children's television shows, "Words-A-Poppin" and "Kids Club".

"This will be the last radio job of my career!" said Shotgun when he was hired at Oldies Radio K-EARTH 101. "Once you work at a station like K-EARTH 101, you don't need to go anywhere else".

Shotgun also does voiceover work for clients nationwide at Shotgun Tom Productions. In the Summer of 2010, Shotgun organized the dedication of a permanent monument to KCBQ at the station's former transmitter site.

On April 30, 2013, Stevie Wonder, KRTH PD Jhani Kaye and hundreds of fans and friends gathered in Hollywood, at the corner of LaBrea and Hollywood Boulevard, to honor Shotgun Tom Kelly with a star on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame. In the category of radio, it was the 2,946th star on the Walk of Fame. Here's a special page with exhibits all about this exciting event.
