Born Frank Dale Leber in 1935, he served for 29 years as a newsman at KCBS
Newsradio 740, and was an original member of the anchor team when the station
switched to all-news in 1968.
An avid collector of radio memorabilia, Frank was widely considered to be a
leading expert on classic radio programs, as well as a devoted motion picture
enthusiast.
Frank spearheaded the Legends' production of "Sam Spade: The One-Hour Caper,"
which was the centerpiece of the June 27, 2007, quarterly luncheon. Frank had
previously presented retrospectives on "Gunsmoke," "The Lone Ranger," "Pat Novak
For Hire," "I Love A Mystery" and "Calling All Cars" for Broadcast Legends
gatherings.
Frank is survived by his wife, Rosemarie Leber, his son, Lance, and step son,
Mike, as well as five grandchildren.
Broadcast Legends extends their condolences to Frank's family and friends.
