I believe Steve Beverly noted Narz bailed out because with the commute, he was losing money hosting the show.  (Obviously G-T didn't hold it against him.)
I really want to say that Narz said that himself when he was on Stu Shostak's online program.

(I'm sure the Perfesser would want the attribution correct on that.)

Didn't Bill Rafferty commute from the bay area when he was doing shows in L.A.? That's not a real long commute but it's not a short jaunt down Benedict Canyon Drive either.

Dick Clark was bi-coastal for so many years that he wore a silver watch that had two rectangular dials in it so he could see the time on both coasts. Radio legend, and old friend of Dick's, Joey Reynolds used to joke that Dick was so insincere that even his watch was two-faced!
Ouch! That's the second great story about Dick's, erm, insincerity that I've heard in the last 24 hours. Wow!
