Jim Eason (1935-2026)
A longtime resident of the San Francisco area, Eason moved to Asheville, North Carolina, in 1993, where he broadcast his KGO talk show via high-speed connection from his home studio. He was one of the first to do this type of remote broadcast on a regular basis. In 1996, while continuing to broadcast from his home studio in Asheville, Eason's show was moved from KGO to ABC's then newly-acquired and more conservative sister station KSFO.
Eason quit KSFO radio due to a "philosophical" conflict with management in 2000, which marked his official retirement from broadcasting.
Eason returned to Northern California in 2003. He was inducted into the Bay Area Radio Hall of Fame in 2007.
Personal life
Eason was married twice and had three children.
