Whitney Allen is one of only three known people living in Los Angeles who was actually BORN here. Whitney knew she wanted to be in radio when she was 5 years old. That dream was almost sidetracked by a longing to pursue veterinary medicine but she discovered that the whole "math, biology thing was not in my genetic make-up--but talking was".

On a trip to Eureka, California she heard a woman on the radio who “sounded like she wanted to steal my boyfriend, it was uncomfortable for me to listen to. I knew I wanted to be on the radio, but knew I did not want to sound at all like that!

Whitney ended up getting that very air shift at KATA and stayed in Eureka for 2 years. “Til the rain got to me”. Then it was off to San Diego California where she worked at Top 40 KS-103, Country’s Q105 and held down the nights at the station that went from worst to first in less than three months, KKLQ, Q-106. “Right after I bought a house I got a call from the legendary Scott Shannon who was starting up Pirate Radio in Los Angeles”. He wanted Whitney to anchor the midday show. San Diego was a hard place to leave, but “Los Angeles was my hometown and I always wanted to make it here”.
She did.

After Pirate Radio she was immediately hired to work at KIIS-FM in Los Angeles where she worked for over 3 years. “Just to be working at the same station as Rick Dees was amazing. Many mornings I actually got to work with him too…that’s a long way from Eureka!

Whitney hosted the nationally syndicated program "After Midnite Weekends with Whitney Allen", which ran on overnights on KZLA for 8 years. She was also Blair Garner’s exclusive fill in host for After Midnite.

She now heeds to the sound of the alarm clock and joins KZLA during the day! She also hosts "America’s Hotlist” heard Monday through Friday nights AND she hosts "The Big Time Saturday Night" on Saturdays, of course, from 7 to midnight.

When not working she loves hiking, talking, napping, Mexico, Survivor and hanging out with her dog Matti, and her too many cats. Oh, and she promises she’ll never sound like a girl who wants to steal your boyfriend. She already has one of those. She hangs out with him a lot too.

Oh, and one more thing, Whitney won Country Radio Personality of the Year at the Radio Music Awards in December 2005. We're extremely proud of her! Check out the photos by clicking here.
