Bobby Dale, born Robert Dale Bastiansen in Glendive, MN, was called “the disc jockey’s disc jockey” by no less an authority than Bay Area radio legend Don Sherwood.
Dale had made a name for himself in his native Midwest and blew through Los Angeles before arriving in San Francisco. His voice was heard on many stations, including a memorably offbeat overnight show on KSFO. His other Bay Area call letters were KEWB, KFRC, KSFO, KSAN, KKCY, KTIM and KOFY, and after “retiring” from commercial broadcasting, Dale was often heard on non-commercial KUSF.
Bobby Dale died in 2001 at the age of 69.
