Bay Area Radio Hall of Fame DJ and rock radio icon, Steven Seaweed, has retired after 44 years on the air! That’s right, our beloved Weedman has finally hung up his headphones after one of radio’s longest and most successful careers. His last day was Friday, June 30, 2017.
Seaweed has been a staple of Bay Area Rock radio since his debut on KLRB-FM in Carmel, CA, on New Year’s Eve, 1972. After six years with the station, Seaweed joined KSAN-FM (then known as “The Jive 95”), where he did weekends on the free-form progressive rock station through its format change to Country in November 1980. He moved on to on-air positions at Bay Area stations including: KFAT-FM (“The Wide Spot On the Dial”), KWSS-FM, KRQR-FM (The Rocker”) and KLLC-FM (“[email protected]), before rejoining KSAN in 1997, his station home for the last 20 years.
Seaweed said: “”44 years ago, nobody wanted to work at midnight on New Year’s Eve. Except me! I volunteered, got the job, and went on to have the most rewarding career in Radio. I have been so lucky all these years to have worked with the most incredible people, at many legendary Radio stations, and with the best Radio listeners on the planet. Thank you, everybody!”
