Breakfast Q D J's serve up humor for students
by Mark A. Borrelli
Sports Editor
Radio station Q105’s Archer
and David Endres from the Break­
fast Q spoke at Linda Vogt’s Mass
Media class Jan. 25.
Although Archer and Endres
are partners in crime for Q105’s
Breakfast Q, they are quite differ­
ent. Both have their own person­
alities while still working well to­
gether.
Archer, the comedian of the
Breakfast Q, seems to have a laid
back, “let’s have fun” attitude.
Endres seems to be the most pro­
fessional of the two. But together
they are the ones who keep us laugh­
ing from 5:30 to 9:30 a.m. Monday
through Friday.
The two were at CCC to speak
to the class about the world of radio
in all aspects. Archer, the anchor­
man and comedian of the Break­
fast Q, kept the students enter­
tained and informed throughout
the class with his humor and un­
usual chalkboard drawings.
“You wouldn’t believe the
people I had to sleep with to get to
the top," Archer joked.
Archer, a 22 year veteran of
the airwaves, had an interesting
start to his radio career.
“I was about 15 when I got
started. My mom worked at a sta­
tion and I was always hanging
around, just trying to help out. But
I didn’t actually get on the air until
their night man had heart attack
and I filled in,” Archer recalled.
If that v\asn’t a strange enough
way to get started, Archer’s ca­
reer progressed at the expense of
his mother.
“The station that my mom
worked at fired her, and hired
me. She’s just now talking to me
again.”
Archer has spent many of
his radio days in small town sta­
tions, doing everything from news
to producing and selling ad’s, all
the while being a DJ. His ties to
Portland include teaching at
KBPS, a Benson High School
station. He also served some time
atKMJK before landingatQ105
in August, 1987.
“The zoo here (on KMJK) is
a rip off of the original one,” said
Archer, indicating that he had
helped develop the original “zoo”
concept in New York.
After 22 year of radio, Archer
doesn’t seem to have lost any of
his enthusiasm for radio.
“I love it. I go back and forth
from the air to production. I’ve
just got radio blood,” he added.
David Endres, in contrast to
Archer, has spent much of his
career in Oregon. Endres was
born in Idaho and attended OSU,
where he received a Bachelor of
Science degree in liberal arts. He
then worked his way up Inter­
state 5, starting at a station in
Corvallis, moving up to Salem,
and finally landing at Q105.

25. One of the things they emphasized was getting a good education.
“It’s just fun. Most people ing the different aspects of radio,
“A good education is para­

work every day,” Endres declared.
While Archer did the major­ on,” he advised.
