Lee Duncan's well-travelled radio career covered almost the entire Top 40 era.

He got his start at KUDU Ventura, California, in 1958, just as rock 'n roll was starting to sweep the world. Further travels through the Golden State took him to KACY Oxnard and KAFY Bakersfield where he hired a young man named Bob Weiner to do the all-night show (Weiner returned the favour in 1978 by hiring him at KDAY!)

Duncan arrived at KYNO in 1967. After a stop at KDES Palm Springs, he broke into the L.A. market in 1969, first at KDAY then at KRLA. The same year he returned to Bakersfield at KERN. An avid skier, Duncan was able to hit the hills while working at a couple of Colorado stops in the '70s, first KKFM Colorado Springs in 1971 and KSPN Aspen in 1975.

Duncan's last full-time radio stop was at KOMO Seattle from 1985 to 1992. He then got a part-time gig at KRWN Seattle while working in commodities trading.
