San Francisco-born Carter Blakemore Smith, educated at San Francisco
State College, got his start in local radio as an intern at KSAN (1450
kc.) in the mid-1950s. He advanced to Berkeley's KRE a few years later,
then parlayed his experience into a role as sidekick, foil and
substitute for Don Sherwood at
KSFO. Always a listener favorite, he later moved on to KNBR, KFRC (in
its Magic 61 incarnation) and KABL.
Carter B. Smith was elected to the Bay
Area Radio Hall of Fame in 2007.
