Biography/History
Ralph Story (August 19, 1920 - September 26, 2006) was born Ralph Bernard Snyder in Kalamazoo, Michigan. In high school and
at Western Michigan College, he worked part time as a radio announcer, and eventually left college to pursue a career in radio
full time first in Grand Rapids, Michigan and then Buffalo, New York. His career was interrupted when he joined the Air Force
during World War II. Already a licensed pilot, he served first as a flight instructor and then flew 63 missions over Europe
as a P-51 fighter pilot. After the war, he returned to Buffalo to work as an announcer and program director for CBS radio
affiliate WGR. In 1948, CBS radio transferred him to Los Angeles. There, he served as program director and morning DJ at KNX
and changed his name to Ralph Story. While at KNX, the Military Air Transport Service invited Story to visit and interview
for broadcast servicemen and civilians from California stationed around the world. The result was
California Around the World, broadcast on CBS radio.
After a brief stint as host of the game show
What Do You Have in Common?, Story moved to New York City to emcee
The $64,000 Challenge from 1956-1958, when it was cancelled in the wake of the quiz show scandal. Story returned to Los Angeles and for the next
forty years hosted, wrote and produced for radio and television, exploring and shaping such formats as talk radio, news broadcasting,
human interest and local color reporting, and the magazine show. The bulk of his broadcast career was spent at KNX radio and
its sister television station KNXT, both CBS affiliates. However, Story also worked for KABC, KNBC, KCET, KCAL, and independent
production companies including National General and O'Connor radio.
In addition to his serialized weekly and daily programs and radio spots, Story hosted a variety of special programs, including
prime-time specials, award ceremonies, and local events such as the Tournament of Roses Parade and Hollywood Bowl concerts.
He was also a prolific producer, writer and lecturer on local and California history, and prepared but did not publish a guidebook
to Los Angeles. Story was active in civic and professional groups, hosting celebrity tennis events and serving as grand marshal
for numerous local festivals and functions. He was a fundraiser for Public Television stations KCET and KOCE and a frequent
speaker at community and educational meetings.
Story is best remembered for his detailed research and his wry and witty observations about life in California and especially
in Los Angeles. Television work includes: the "Human Predicament" on KNXT's
The Big News,
Ralph Story's Los Angeles,
Ralph Story's AM,
The Channel 2 News,
It's a Nice Place...,
The Sunday Show,
On the Road Again,
The Wine Game,
Things That Aren't Here Anymore and
More Things That Aren't Here Anymore.
Story's radio titles include:
The Ralph Story Show,
Top of the Morning,
Storyline,
Hollywood Today,
Dimension in Hollywood,
Meet the Cook,
Food News,
You're the Judge and an annual Christmas Morning special.
In 1984, the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences awarded Story their highest honor, the Governors Award. Other awards
Story received throughout his career include numerous Los Angeles Area Emmys and Golden Mikes, two Directors Guild of America
Awards, and many local and professional honors.
Ralph Story died on September 26, 2006 after a long battle with emphysema at the age of 86 in Los Angeles, California.
