Hi Rick,
Sad news indeed. He also did a stint at KOB Albuquerque in 1969. -

Subject: [IRCA] Passing of Jimmy O'Neill (1940-2013)
Dunno how my local paper, the Omaha World-Herald, missed this, but they
somehow did. Legendary DJ and TV host of Shindig!, Jimmy O'Neill, passed
away on January 11, just three days after his 73rd birthday. During his
early years in radio, O'Neill worked at KQV in Pittsburgh, and at KRLA and
KFWB in Los Angeles. It was while he was at KFWB that he got his biggest
career break, hosting Shindig!, a musical variety show that aired on ABC
for almost a year and a half starting in Sept. 1964. I recall hearing him in
the mid-1970s on WOW-590 in Omaha.
73,
Rick Dau
South Omaha, Nebraska
