After 45 years in radio, Ron Chapman retired from his morning show on June 24, 2005. He had spent his last few years on 98.7 KLUV in Dallas/Forth Worth.
I met Ron Chapman when I was installing a light directly above his desk. He asked what I was doing and I said installing a recess can. He threw his hands up and said “I might as well go home,, much appreciated” as he shook my hand. Swell guy
There will never be the likes of another Ron Chapman in Dallas-Fort Worth! Sadly, so much radio today is automated, voice-tracked or syndicated ... and the pay is a pittance. (Ron was MC for the Beatles two Dallas performances at Memorial Auditorium in 1964).
April 26 2021.. R.I.P. Ron Chapman.. So glad I got to meet you.. I so appreciate the memories & more so, your kindness to me that day when U gave me your autograph! (Around 2005-06).. IHOP on Mockingbird & Abrams... Never forgotten..
We always had KLIF on the radio to wake up to to go to sleep to and had enjoyed it for many years! I grew up in Dallas listening to KLIF. Enjoy your retirement Don lol From one of your local viewers lol
From a California boy, cause I have family in Dallas, this man was and always be what I think of when you say Dallas. Take your rest sir. You done well.
Interesting body language between Jodie Dean and Craig T. (the young producer and on-air assistant, who was standing to Ron's right). Jodie and Craig did not get along and Craig was dropped when Jodie took over.
Rest in peace, Ron Chapman. He will be missed.

Like many others, came to this video as a result of Ron passing away today. More fitting now than ever.
He will forever be missed!! We loved you Ron!

Updated: August 2022 ... morning show host Jeff Miles was let go and KLUV is now staffed by low-paid, low-level presenters. RIP KLUV.
I enjoy him every morning
